That meme thing

I saw everyone else doing this today, so:

YAY AMERICA!

Also... PHEW!

I actually couldn't talk about the US elections for the last couple of days because I didn't want to jinx anything. I am very pleased for the US, and the rest of the world also.

But not as shocked as I was when the US re-elected Bush.

Or when they elected him the first time due to a problem with counting. For fuck's sake, did you never watch Sesame Street? Counting. It's easy.

Now those two elections... those were historic occasions. Just not for a good reason. This one, happily, looks like it may go better. But I'm still not uncrossing my fingers.

Americans? You better not impeach this one for goat-fucking. I don't care if your new President turns out to be a rampant goat-fucker, pulling little Bleaty out onto the podium at White House Press conferences and going at it while singing the national anthem. I couldn't care less about his moral fibre. It's what you do that counts, and the same writ large when you're the President.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is - please. Normal Americans and the rabid American media and bitchy American partisan politicians - please don't fuck it up.

Thanks! And congratulations again. We're all rooting for you over here in the rest of the world.
