T<\/span>oday is a day that will live in infamy for rest of our days on this Earth in this country. As this day approached, I felt this surging feeling of anticpation and excitement.

Now sure, the recounts and hanging chads will be a beat-down to be sure. But, that’s another taxing process that will at least be a change of pace. The saddest part of all of this is the millions of dollars spent on this most annoying advertising. Just think of all of the good that could be done with that money instead of bashing, promoting, lying, posing, and pimping for votes. It’s sickening.<\/p>\n
