No, seriously. Being a fan of democracy means living with what the people decide, especially when it’s not what you wanted (a lesson that the political Left in the US seems forget every time the vote goes against them). Above all, I’m glad that we have a clear, uncontested victory (though I’d be tickled if […]

While I would rather see McCain/Palin win, I’m not going to panic or otherwise go off the deep end if Obama/Biden wins.
