Bock, you watch the same teevee that I do, why is that not a bigger surprise to me? Of course I'll click over to Stewart and Colbert for a while too.
Well done!!
Mr Terwilliger — Well, not really. I don't watch American TV. How can I put this delicately without giving offence? American TV is complete crap. No, this is just the best feed I could find.
Nora — Thanks!
I think I need a bigger coffee…
I hadn't realised O'Bama's great granny was a proddie from Tipp. And was that Paddy Anglican on the news earlier???!!!!
Bock,
Today we are all American TV watchers. Tomorrow you and I both can go back to ignoring American TV, though since my options are more limited, I'll probably turn on MSNBC every so often.
Since you have the chance to watch this feed, pay attention to commentary by Rachel Maddow. Fortunately not all Americans think and talk like Sarah the Palin or Jow the Plumber.
we did the right thing here, sugar! i can't even go to sleep, i'm so excited. i'm also still packing, but hell, i'm drinking, too!! xoxo
President Barack Obama
Just watched the acceptance speech on TV. Best 40 minutes I've seen in years. Very well put together, amazing delivery… everything a good tv show should be. The fact that it was actually real life made it even more surreal.
(McCains speech was a good one also).
Looks like a change on the way
Result of a lifetime. Definitely one of those "Where were you when…?" moments.
Exactly, Devin. I remember JFK being shot, and MLK being shot. Last night I was emotional and knew I was watching an historic moment – of an entirely different nature. Obama is not Superman, we know that, and he has a long and hard job ahead of him. But the world has shifted.
And congratulations and good wishes to America!
With all this goodwill towards the USA and it's electoral decision I hope that all those right wing patriotic jerks that held the view that we all hate America will now realise that it wasn't the USA we hated , it was their warmongering grade D president that we had the problem with.
Well actually Joe, I was thinking about that too, and do you know what? Fuck 'em!
These are the cavemen who turned the words "Muslim" and "Liberal" into insults. These are the rednecks who swaggered around the birthplace of western civilisation, Iraq, like chimps in a playground, breaking whatever they failed to understand and humiliating a proud people.
These are the fools who had the nerve to accuse others of being religious extremists.
These are the halfwits whose only answer to logic was shouting and threats and violence.
So, as I said, fuck 'em! I don't really care what they think.
