Discovering the ignorance of old friends through Facebook today.

"<Person x> gladly accepts the consolation prize of an Al Franken loss in Minnesota."

Waiting to see what other gems turn up.

1. Yeah, it's a wonder, isn't it.

[Pithy]

2. my Facebook status today

says that we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. It's shut some of my Freep friends up.

3. I can top that, sadly.

Someone who used to be a good friend of mine a decade or so ago posted yesterday morning that he was praying to God that He wouldn't allow the antichrist to be elected president.

The sad thing is that he's completely serious.

4. All my Facebook friends are ecstatic

including the Republicans who voted for Obama this time around.

5. Just found my wife's new status comment (and I've got a good one too):

"<My wife> is happy that we don't have to move to Canada."

"<bbernardini> can't wait to take away everybody's guns and force them into gay marriages."

6. Other one from the person in my original post...

"<Person X> wonders why the markets aren't reveling in the same happiness as Democrats. Isn't this guy supposed to save us?"

[gollygee]

7. Well sure, that's a fair expectation

It's already the day after he won the election, and only a couple of months before he becomes president. Why hasn't he fixed everything yet?

9. That is hilarous

What does he expect Obama to do one day after the election? Raise the stock market miraculously like Jesus raise Lazarus?

8. Here's stuff from the losers I went to school with in the 80's...

"XXX - Nader calls Obama 'Uncle Tom'--Gotta give the guy credit for having a set of balls !! LMAO !" <- this special asshole is my brother

"XXX can't watch anymore!!!"

"XXX is thinking that at this point I dont care who wins because my God is bigger than the president and he will handle it."

"XXX is praying but knows no matter what our God still reigns!"

"XXX is thinking I need to become a full time consultant, that way I dont have to claim anything and Alfred Obama cant take it all."

"XXX is going to bed and hoping that when I wake up John McCain is our next president!!!!!"

10. UPDATE: The vast majority of my Facebook friends seem to be Dems.

Boy, do I know how to pick 'em or what?
