Obama swearing in private…

Well, the truth is […] we can’t solve global warming because I f***ing changed light bulbs in my house. It’s because of something collective.

Yes, they did: Obama elected President.

What a historic moment: Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States. His margin of victory will probably be absolutely stunning — as I write this, he is routing McCain 338-15 in the electoral vote count. While his election to the highest office might be a national catharsis of a failed Bush administration, it is just awesome that Americans voted for someone based on perceived ability and not on the colour of his skin. The real work, though, begins when his terms starts in January 2009; the huge international goodwill towards Obama will surely help America.

Oh yeah, I am so going to buy this poster as a memento. As do a lot of people outside the US, I too feel some strange excitement about what seems to be an upcoming new world order.

What an awesome speech.

Actually, it’s more a nicely edited ad using an Obama speech and good music rather than a speech itself. But it’s powerful stuff nonetheless.

In any case, I just hope our dear American friends won’t let another screw up happen again this time.

The Prez Dispenser.

Funny t-shirt from Eric Rewitzer, thought I think it might have looked better on a lighter, less muddy coloured t-shirt.

And speaking of Obama, it’s good to see him robustly elbowing back the Republican smear campaign.

The miracle that McCain helped create.

Given his age, John McCain is more likely to have invented the Phonograph or something.

A media blackout in the land of the free.

It is John Edwards’ voice that has been systematically excluded from the debate. It’s been excluded by the propaganda arm of the corporate elites who stand to lose the most if his campaign is successful.
