The election’s over…

…. What on earth are we going to talk about now?

Scanning the UK Independent yesterday, I got a bit teary reading this opinion piece from amazingly-named Baratunde Thurston. He writes:

And what a ride this has been. The manner of this campaign is as important as its ultimate outcome. Grassroots organising met peer-to-peer networked technologies, learnedfrom old school campaigning and was remixed through new school art. And it won. We won! Our new president. Our new president, Barack Hussein Obama, truly represents us, America and the world.

…

 It is not simply that we chose, but also that we rejected.

We rejected smears and race-baiting and Muslim-baiting and desperation. We rejected so much history and so many rules that have bound us to the way things have been and are supposed to be. We rejected fear. Most importantly, we rejected fear.

Full article over at the Independent.

Sheesh! Are people STILL visiting this post?

It was ever thus has a lot to answer for.

His post inspired my post and still they come every day to find out something about Titanic only be bombarded with Sufjan Stevens’ sexuality, funky house and Obama’s tweets.

Funny ol’ world, innit?*

*Practising being a Londoner.

Barack Obama is following me…

… on Twitter.

 

I can’t wait to see what he thinks of the sandwich I had!

McCain and Obama: Quite hilarious actually!

The speeches delivered at the Alfred E Smith dinner are far more entertaining than the official debates. And they do much to relieve the tension and ugliness of the campaigns of late.

McCain is quite funny and is very gracious towards Obama midway.

Obama can get a job on television no problem.
