“CHIN UP.
We’re smarter than those motherfuckers.
We can learn more quickly than those motherfuckers.
We can be more ruthless than those motherfuckers.
We can be some six-million-dollar motherfuckers ourselves.

Chin up.
We’re more American than those motherfuckers.
We’re more responsible than those motherfuckers.
We’re more compassionate than those motherfuckers.
Hell, our atheists are more Christian than their Bible-thumpin’ motherfuckers.

There’s an election in two years.
There’s nothing we can’t do.

Chin up.
Because it’s on, motherfuckers.
It is on.”

Boingboing has this map that actually cheered me up. Instead of the red vs. blue states, there are red, blue and purple (50/50) states–the latter being quite substantial.

Check it out.

Wow. I am still in shock.

I was talking to someone yesterday who said, “You know, we worked so hard to get out the vote, and we did. But what we did not realize is that all the conservatives were not voting. And they got out their vote too.”

That makes sense. Why didn’t I see this coming?
