John McCain’s defunct
Who used to ride a media-complicit unchallenged hero image And make 1 2 3 4 5 baseless assertions Just like that Jesus he was a mediocre man And what I want to know is How do you like your blue-eyed boy, Mr. Political Dustbin?

4. K Gardner. Howdy. Thanks, and my god in heaven is this a big day or what. |
|
I catch myself glancing at the clock several times too many, waiting for those first returns.
We've been through a long damn 8 years of dreary crap with the Bush people, and all gauges say that it ends at sundown tonight!
You've been there heart and mind against the lies and the sick egos of the Bush administration, posting brainy threads on these very boards, and each syllable of these threads brings pressure to bear against the bad guys.
Tonight -- blue balloons and loud yelps for our side!

9. OC, I remember those slip-sliding on icy roads in Iowa diaries back in late December |
|
What a trip it's been; great to share the ride with you. :patriot:

11. I'm with you there, too, BeyondGeography. What a hell of a long |
|
political season and how astonishing it is to be nearing an end tonight.
I've loved your threads and also your comments in others' threads. And tonight, we post in praise of a new president -- the guy from Illinois.

12. Sam, the whole bunch of us have had a splendid time of it, haven't we? |
|
DU's administrators hold it all together and we yak and chatter and laugh 24/7.
Not a bad deal at all.
You scored awfully big with me on the Ali thread -- a keeper if there ever was one -- and tonight we hang the blue balloons.
And lots of them.
