How Soon Until 2012?
Posted By becky on November 10, 2008
So yeah… Hi Internet. What’s up?
Oh me? Yeah, nothing’s new. And that’s the problem… NOTHING. IS. NEW!
Is anyone else out there suffering from major Election Withdrawl? Of course I’m thrilled with the outcome but now I just find myself at a loss and not sure what to do with myself.
I keep searching endlessly for the next debate. Surely TV Guide must be wrong. Didn’t Johnny Mack want TEN townhall debates? Since there was only one of those, where are the others???
I’m like Paula Cole, but instead of singing “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone…” I’m singing, ”Where Have All the Yard Signs Gone…” Bring them back! I miss counting how many Obama signs there were from our place to my parents.
There must be some poll to study needlessly. Right? Where are the exit polls? I NEED SOME POLLS PEOPLE!!!! And I need more plumbers to make fun of.
Forget the October surprise. I want a December Surprise! And no, I don’t mean what’s under the tree.
You can’t string me along for almost TWO YEARS and then just have it be over. SNAP! Just like that. In ONE NIGHT!?! Don’t we recount any more? My god this one was over before my bedtime! (Again, NOT complaining about the results…)
Having the election over is like Rip Van Winkle waking from a year long slumber.
“Who are you little boy? MY SON! Holy shit. I have a kid. Huh.”
“What is that over there? A washer and dryer you say? Odd. What’s that for?”
“Weird this refridgerator thing has no food in it. How did that happen?”
I suppose there is no denying it. Now that Election 2008 is over it’s time to get back to my life.
Which I will do, right after I read the wonderful Newsweek article about our 44th President,
and make sure my countdown to Bush’s Last Day is accurate.

I was going to link you to that same video!
I don’t want to be a downer but there are still things going on regarding the election. Unfortunately they are not very nice – http://mybrownbaby.blogspot.com/2008/11/neighbors-gone-wild.html
Laura, thanks for that link! I can’t see it at work (blocked ya know) but I can’t wait to watch it at home.
Renee, that story is disgusting and just so profoundly sad. As I told the author, I hope that the change that Obama brings to this country will be revenge enough for those hateful people. That and I TOTALLY believe in Karma. Payback’s a bitch!
The election itself was exciting, but I’m finding the lead-up to the Obama administration actually more interesting than the campaign itself, i.e. what is his cabinet going to look like? What legislation is he going to focus on first? How is he going to get Republicrats like Pelosi and Reid to do what’s right for our Country? etc etc
I’m fascinated to see who is going to be Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense etc. It will be very interesting to see the racial and political makeup of his Cabinet. Rumors are that he’ll have a few Republicans in a few of the top spots. Lincoln did a similar thing with his cabinet.
Just talking to my dad about this. He has election withdrawal bad!! I am just glad the pit in my stomach is gone.
[...] She is worried that I may be suffering from some kind of “post election withdrawal” like this girl. [...]
The pit in my stomach is gone, too. But now I guess I have to switch back from The Huffington Post to TMZ.com and re-shallow myself.
