I think you may just have averted the collapse of modern civilisation. Given that your previous governments have worked hard to precipitate it in the first place, I guess this makes us even.

It’s not all good, though. At the time of writing, it looks fairly certain that California’s Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage is going to pass, and a similar constitutional amendment has already passed in Florida. Ironically, these are both states where Obama won. You could get over the racism and elect a black president, but you’re still not capable of giving up bigotry altogether, it seems.

I try not to care: I find the concept of monogamy personally objectionable, and in any case this isn’t an issue that affects the rest of the world on the same horrific level that a McCain victory would have. It still makes me sad.

Still, all things considered, you did a good job, yanqui. Now just try not to elect Sarah Palin in 2012, yeah?
