A short political aside

Seeing as the world financial system - and the rest of us with it - appear to be heading towards the kind of depression last seen in the 1920s, I must say I was delighted (no, I was fucking ecstatic, actually) to see that the USA had elected the smart guy instead of the temperamental one with his demented god-loving sidekick. Most newspapers harked on about it being historic that America had voted for the first black president, which is of course an amazing, ground-breaking achievement. Even better though is that we can now look towards America without feeling dread and embarrassment at their present president's evil, criminal ways. THAT is what I most look forward to, for there is nothing like having a wise chap in charge of proceedings. Especially now.
