After feeling like crap for most of the day, the 55 minute drive home (the longest its ever taken me from work) actually worked wonders on my spirit. The 3.5 hour TRC meeting with interested adults also helped. Now it is late.
…the rest of the world doesn’t get to vote in US elections?
Do you ever stop to think that maybe it’s because of the way people in this country vote compared to other countries that we are the leading economic, military, and social power in the world? And praytell, would any of you prefer some other country holding any of these positions? (Please leave a comment to let me know!)
I think the United States has done the job quite well compared to how any of the other candidates might have – say the USSR and Communism or an even more recent, ahem, “hostile ideology with global ambitions,” as a recent film I saw termed it.
But with the rhetoric and political leanings of some people I know, I really wonder if they would not have preferred living under the global domination of the USSR. They certainly don’t seem to have learned the little economic lesson that cold war provided to the whole world. Or perhaps they would like to try on for size life under the control of extremist “fundamental” Islamic jihadists? Thats is the only place I see these plans of apeasement leading.
But thats just me (and most people in this country), I guess.
I won’t pretend to not be happy with most of the results of the last election.
Bush was not my favorite candidate, but he was my least unfavorite candidate. Or something like that. And this time, there is no cloud of possible illegitimacy hanging over the presidency.
As Bobby says, its a major setback for socialism. Well, actually he used the term “progressive causes,” but we all know about watermelons…
Long die socialism, the intellectual opiate.

The video linked to from this post sealed the deal. The ballot is sealed and headed to the polls tomorrow morning.
Its about time, because I’m ready for this one to be over. Oh, I also donated some $$$ to help get Miss Liberty to reach the $1,000,000 mark. Not too shabby.
Well, the comment spammers finally got to me. They found a way to sneak past WordPress’s built in spam filters, so a nifty little SQL was required to dispatch of the spam comments quickly. However, over the past three days, hundreds of spam comments waiting in moderation queues got to me, and so I decided to take action.
The result of phase I of overt anti-spam actions here at Arcanius is now complete. The goal here is to keep it highly streamlined for commenters yet baffle spammers, for a little while at least.
Wish me luck.
