My central computer has died. (Thankfully it’s a case/power supply/motherboard failure, not a disk death.) Pithy analysis, absurd witticisms, and liturgical minutae are on indefinite hold. That having been said…
Congrats to Obama for an historic run but—as I said with +Gene et al.,—I sincerely hope he’s not remembered primarily as the nation’s first African American president but as a great president who also happened to be the first African-American.
I’m pleased the Democrats didn’t get a super-majority in the Senate; the nation won’t tolerate too many Republican filibusters and the parties having to cooperate in order to legislate is usually better in the long run. I hope McCain remains a leader for effective bipartisan action.
Ouch. I went through this in September. What a chore! TG yr data is safe, tho.
