the results

so... i chose to go to bed last night and forfeit seeing the results of the election. i received a text message shortly after midnight from a friend that read, "welp, the world officially sucks". I knew what that meant. obama won. i find the whole political world rather interesting. most us would despise someone who lies right to our face, however when ones words are finely crafted and delivered in such a convincing way, we tend to overlook any untruth and believe in the possibility that some truth may exist. reports stated obama spent nearly 600 million dollars in the last 4 years to win this election. the office of president of the united states pays $400,000. and we wonder why we find ourselves in economic distress. i felt bad for mccain. what an incredible american hero. and i could've handled seeing palin for the next few years... but alas, i will press on and continue to use big words. i will polish myself like a weathered wingtip and someday choose to become the president of something.
