I love you, America. I want to give you a big sexy hug.

I was speechless when MSNBC declared Obama the winner last night at 11pm. I held my breath. I wouldn’t believe it until McCain gave his concession speech. Sure enough, there was old man McCain up on stage conceding the election. It was all so very true. I teared up.

Truly, this is a time of celebration. Yes, these next four years are going to suck hard. We’ve got this horrible financial crisis on our backs, two very ugly wars to fight, a country horribly divided against itself (”uniter” my yellow ass), strained international relations, Prop 8 passed (idiots!) and that’s just the highlights. But for now, I choose to bask in the glory of this moment. Truly, anything is possible in this insanely crazy country of ours. Anything.

God, I’m still shaking I’m so excited. You have a Giddy Zen Master for today folks.

So, in the words of one George Clinton, “God bless chocolate city and its vanilla suburbs.”
