4. My sister just called from a law office in Denton, TX.
Her GOPer boss actually said, "Well, we'll see what Ali Baba can do now." :wow:

My sister had to leave the room before she ripped him a new one.

5. Tell them that if he was Bush their depression would get progressively worse
I recall it well. That and my head exploding at their lack of synoptic connection between their reality and the reality based. No more being mind-fucked for years and years.

Or better yet, just tell them to get over it.

14. My sister brought home a used TV
that she "rescued". She plans to donate it to either a friend or community organization.

After we hauled it inside, she asked that I take a look at it to see how well it functions.

I got it connected and turned on and was fiddling with the color adjustments... Barack was on the tube of course.

Sis asked me what I was doing and I said I was adjusting the color.

She said, trying to be funny, "no matter what you do he will still be black".

I didn't know what to say. Dumbfounded. I know her husband is a wing nut racist... but she was raised differently!

15. BWAH-HA-HA-HA!! The Repubbies at my workplace turned the TV to the Hallmark Channel
this morning - it's almost always on Fox News on every other day!!

I've had the live streaming running all day in my work area, so I can at least hear what's going while performing my tasks...

17. I work in an elementary school......
Edited on Tue Jan-20-09 05:35 PM by AnneD
and it's like Christmas morning around here. The kids just love Obama (I guess they know he likes kids too). It was a great day here. Lot of joy.


My McCain supporting Az. Mom put it well-I don't care if you voted for him or not-he's the president and we all should stand behind him, he needs all our help. And these folks that make a big deal about him being black forget that if you take the Bible at it's word-we're all related anyway. I think Obama is starting to grow on her.

Tell them thanks to the way BushCo fucked up everything they have at least eight years to get used to it.
