LoL, my Republican leaning dad.
I guess one could call him a moderate Republican or Libertarian.

I called him the other day. He said he really liked the outcome of the election. Although he is a little afraid that gun control will be increased, he said that he thinks Obama ran a brilliant campaign.

And then he said: "Now no one can claim anymore that there isn't equal opportunity in America."

:) One way to look at it.

When a black man as moronic as bush gets appointed to the white house.

6. Hmmmmm....
I'll have to admit you've got a point there....



On another note...I heard Obama give a speech the other day in which he was actually able to pronounce the name of the President of Iran without stumbling or screwing it up.

He's not even President yet, but already he sounds like someone who can command respect.

Er...except from the beer-swilling Neanderthals who still think Bush was sent to us by God himself to lead us all into the Promised Land...

2. Equal Opportunity?
Hell, I would settle for any opportunity right about now. I guess we do have equal opportunity: we are all, regardless of race, creed, religion or national origin, completely fucked in an economic sense, because we don't belong to The Lucky Sperm Club.

4. It's so nice that your dad has come around.
Now if our parents would do that, it would be a miracle.
