I generally don’t make political comments on here, because people just can’t deal with it anymore. People have become mean spirited and close minded in regards to politics (or maybe they always were). I am going to say this much though: If Obama wins tonight like it looks like he’s going to, I’m going to wear sackcloth and ash to work tomorrow. This is not entirely a display of mourning, but also a reflection of my belief that after Obama implements his tax plan, his energy plan and his domestic ideas, all I’ll be able to afford is sackcloth and ash, so I might as well get used to wearing it. I honestly believe that it could be worse than the Carter Presidency, in which inflation, interest rates, and unemployment all hit double digits. I hope I’m wrong. I hope that I’m the one who hasn’t been paying attention, and if I do find myself in a better place in three years because of Obama I’ll take all that extra money and buy each of my liberal friends a glass of wine. Those of you in California may have to go in halfsies on the airline ticket. So, here’s to… Hope. 8^)

I think you will be able to afford bying me a case of Chimney Rock 2003 Cab to celebrate getting out of this slump :)
