Reagan is dead, his ideas even moreso.

Hehehe...I just thought of a dirty joke.....

They're changing the company name to Batman, Inc.

Too bad, so sad for you. Next time you vote, it will be on a bilingual ballot. Unless you use touch screen, then you'll have to press "1" for English.

Just re-watched the speech. The brief section 'blu is referring to is quite similar to the speech Obama gave here in Springfield three days before the election.

Native Spanish speakers find English difficult to learn, because our language is ass-backwards from theirs. Disenfranchising someone because of this is terribly un-American. Relegating a person to a lower status because of this is terribly un-American.

The financial crisis isn't going to be sorted out in four years, the mess is too big and complicated. The war in Afghanistan and against Al Queda may take more than 4 years. Hunting people down in deserts and caves isn't a quick process. It will take more than four years to get the country off foreign oil and onto a responsible power grid. Its not backpedaling, its stating reality. Running the United States isn't like playing Sim City, you cant click a button and have a school or power plant appear.

You said it yourself, things should be your way because you hit the random genetic jackpot and were born within the borders of one country instead of another and they weren't. Thats not a warped sense of entitlement?

Yeah, I remember months ago, he said his daughters were going to get a kitty, last night he said puppy. The flip-flopping bastard.

My generation doesn't have the same sense of entitlement as yours does apparently.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...but only if they speak English I dont think they can add that to the tablet.

High turnout usually helps Democrats. I was nice to my conservative friends today, they were all in pissy moods, I tried to not make things any worse. There is one particular conservative (a small business owner) who is a huge douchebag that I wouldn't mind ribbing a bit, but I haven't run into him in a while. Self-described Republicans need to take a look at the map, the Republican party is now no more than a regional party. They used to be able to pull off northern states (Bush won NH in 2000 and OH in 2004) but it seems that the party is now limited to the deep south and northern Rocky Mountain states. Dumbf@#kistan has gotten a bit smaller. I think the most telling sign that the party is in shambles is that Chris Shays, a 22 year Congressional veteran, a moderate Republican lost his seat, making New England's entire Congressional delegation Democratic. Moderate long term Congressmen who aren't involved in scandals (and whose views most liberals can live with) dont lose elections by 3%. It was that pesky ® after his name that did him in. The Republican party needs to do some major soul searching and find a path that will appeal to non-rural voters. That means no Mike Huckabee (even though he's a great character) and no Sarah Palin. Move from the far right to the middle and they'll have more success, this conservative (social and fiscal) BS isn't going to bring anyone in.

I found it ironic because on C&G, people can open a thread about cars and find a couple of members posting in foreign languages, taking away from the usefulness of the thread. Thats far more irritating than having two languages on a ballot you look at every four years. Since the Latino vote went to Obama, I expect Republicans to try to make English the country's official language, which would be pretty un-American. Might as well take down the Statue of Liberty's tablet.

CNN has a clip of Wolf Blitzer talking to one of these holograms. It really seems pointless. The hologram, that is, not the conversation. Two days ago, journalists were free to go nude from the waist down. Today, not so much.

Is there anything worthwhile in the automotive world?

Wow, I'm not even sure it has settled in yet. We may not know the magnitude of this election for a generation. I'm going to go get some post-election euphoria booty, its bound to be good.

Am I the only one saddened by Obama not coming out to deliver his victory speech in a turban?

I'm going to listen to the speech, then go to bed.

Psssssht......civil liberties are overrated. I feel comfortable knowing that the government can find out that I'm borrowing Berenstain Bears books from the library.

Think Bush is pissed about the massive number of people partying outside the White House? CNN shows it from time to time and it looks like an insane, Obama-happy crowd.

Awww...the minority pities the majority.

Palin wasn't the final nail in McCain's presidential coffin, his campaign had been in ADHD mode for some time before she was selected. Biden was the safest choice possible for Obama, the best pick to reassure the country. First time voters made up 11% of the electorate, thats pretty special right there.

Paulie, I didn't even catch the irony of the guy who posts in foreign languages on here starting this thread. :lol:

Dance 'til the sun comes up.

McCain seems less like a George Bush robot than usual tonight.
