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.

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.

Hello

Most folks who visit random notes seem to hang around for about 9.172 minutes on average.

My name is and I fear my eyesight is failing, which may force me to increase the type size around here.
