Official Election Hangover Thread
SoftwareEngineer | 11/05/2008 | SoftwareEngineer

Posted on 11/05/2008 2:54:40 AM PST by SoftwareEngineer

What an awful way to wake up this morning. I have a sense of disbelief about what has happened. I am trying to do my morning chores but I can physically feel my heart hurting and my head pounding. It is unreal. I feel I am not really living this and instead this is some hallucination.

And yet, the day must go on. I have to get ready, go to work and meet clients. So to get over this election hangover (and a fair bit of Glenlivet last night) I am going to do the following:

1. Pray 2. Go for a run 3. Not watch any TV or listen to any Radio 4. Take a giant Excederin for my headache

How is everyone else handling this? Please post what you are all doing to keep functioning

I just got this in email...
Good one!

Priest’s last request
An old priest who for years had faithfully served the people of the nation’s capital, lay dying in the hospital. He motioned for his nurse to come near.
“Yes, Father?” said the nurse.
“I would really like to see Barack Obama and Joe Biden before I die,” he whispered.
“I’ll see what I can do, Father,” replied the nurse, and she respectfully forwarded the request to the DNC and waited for a response.
Surprisingly, soon the word arrived. Obama and Biden would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they made their way to the hospital, Obama commented to Biden, “I don’t know why the old priest wants to see us, but the media coverage will certainly help our images.”
Biden couldn’t help but agree.
When they arrived at the priest’s room, the priest took Biden’s hand in his right hand and Obama’s hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the ancient cleric’s face.
Finally Biden spoke, “Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?”
Taking a deep breath, the old priest painfully replied, “I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior.”
“Amen,” said Obama.
“Amen,” said Biden.
The old priest continued, “He died between two lying thieves and I would like to do the same.”

"Don't blame me. I didn't vote for him."

It's getting added to my bumper stickers on Inauguration Day.

I love it, but it could result in retaliation.

May I offer you some Canadian goods...we make lots of nice things here and we already export a huge amount to your country.

Look at the benefits...you can buy well made stuff from us that contains no melamine or lead...safe in the knowledge that we are a Conservative ruled country and at the same time sock it to your Socialist President.

Cheer up mate...look at it this way..if Mr Wonderful makes one wrong move that really upsets the people...then his like will not enter the White House again in the next 500 years.

And there are a lot of peed off people that he can upset these days...;) He has no money for his grandiose schemes and the eyes of the world are watching him like vultures.

The youth voted for nearly free college for all under Obama. He didn’t tell them about how the job market will be cut in half if not more under his economic policies.

Free college for all...ha, ha, ha! Boy are they on drugs!

Yep, and I love how those small business owners who get hit with those oppressive tax hikes will first lay off those employees who voted Obama!!!

Those Obamanuts in the 18-30 year old group are gonna get slammed!

Paybacks are a b----!

I know. Most of my assets are in gold, silver and cash. Oh, and lead. ;)

They can’t take it if they can’t find it. Well, not for a while, anyway, LOL! :)
