    Everyone who's anyone wants a piece of her.  Late night TV offers, daytime talk show offers and book deal offers.  There are some issues about whether all this attention will interfere with her governing duties, but she's an instant multi-millionaire if she wants to be.

    Who cares?  Still crying over the election are we.

     

    I'm atleast not crying because...  WE WON! 

     

     

    You don't know that yet.

    Yes Obama won the election, and he will have a democratic majority in the houses to work with. It is fairly certain that his policies will be implemented with a minimal resistance.

    But the race isn't done, we are dealing with an exceptionally radical democrat with limited experience who has been more than a little ambiguous about the way he intends to implement his policies. It is entirely possible, if exceptionally unlikely, that he will be the anwer to everything, fixing problems that no one has ever been able to solve before, and restoring the reputation the USA once had in the world. It is also entirely possible that he will make a decent president that will start to ease us out of a serious economic issue that had its roots during the Clinton administration (although it wasn't his fault either). But at the same time, no one, not even the Democratic leaders, are entirely certain what Obama will do. Four years from now, you just might be wishing you had Bush back, lack of um... charisma and all, if there were no one else.

    For now, we get to wait and see whether or not any of us have actually "won" anything. Frankly, I hope this man surprises us all with his effectiveness. So far though he has done nothing except begin what looks like another hohum Clinton administration, which definitely won't solve our current issues.

    Dear god, that thing is absolutely useless as a tool, at least unless you're working with something you can move around in place of the knife.

• • Is the Ipod Touch Worth it?

  • I have yet to see, use, or hear about so much as a single Apple product that does not have a significantly cheaper alternative that works just as well if not better. And that doesn't even take into account their tendency to force you to use only their accessories to go with it.

    Does that answer your question?

    Maybe so, but a lot of times they seem a lot "happier" than me.  I get pissed off at people just turning an eye to immorality or injustice.  Then I think perhaps I worry too much.  But honestly, I can't help it.  It's like it's in my character to want to work to help and make things as equal as possible for people.  I think maybe it's just a strong sense of noticing where there is injustice and what negatives can ultimately come from it.  Not just noticing it, but feeling obligated to act as well.

    Maybe I should become a priest.  lol.

     

    In my experience, most people listen to priests for all the time it takes to get out of earshot, then they do whatever the hell they wanted to in the first place. It's not a particularly effective position for that purpose.

    I might suggest law enforcement though. Their hands may be tied in some matters, but they are capable of making a significant difference in at least one aspect of human life.
