The times they are a changing

And I got my hair cut to go along with it.
Yes, I'm happy with the results of the election. I don't think things are going to fall apart or babies will be killed. Really, one of my co-worker's kids (a 7 year old) came home from school thinking that Obama was going to kill babies. She was very upset that her kids were told this stuff --probably by their friends not the teachers. The US Government is a rather large entity and it will take some effort and time before things are set in a different direction. The changes won't happen overnight and may not happen noticeably in four years. My hope, though, is that we'll all continue to feel like we can do something to make a difference.

WOW....Although not as severe, that's sort of like Tori (11) saying that if Clinton became president she would take away video games from kids...

I for one don't want Rush to choke on his own tongue, that would generate too much press. I'd rather he just spontaneously retire and herd llamas.

Also, farting cinnamon rainbows, ewwwww!
