Hurray,

We have a new president, and let me tell you, out of all the possible choices, this amazing man would have been my fourth overall pick. Maybe my fifth. Are we allowed to vote for None of the Above?

But since I’ve been watching TV now for a few days and Ashton Kutcher hasn’t popped up in my living room, I’m going to assume that I am NOT undergoing some practical joke or some acid trip. I will assume that somehow America, in it’s pet rock loving, chia pet giving , ginsu knife loving, bamboo bowl ordering, NASCAR watching (sorry) glory has decided that this man will now be leading one of the most powerful countries in the history of the world.

I’m not bitter.

If anything, the Duck has been reawakened. Where I once slumbered and didn’t care while President Bush tried to get through a whole press conference by reading his TelePromTer with all the words spelled FON-E-Tic-ALLEE (Really Ashton, where are you?) i sat by and didn’t care. I let others make the jokes because I just didn’t have it in me.

No more.

So let’s talk about President Elect Obama, from the Office of the President Elect.

The Obamas spent a part of today interviewing at a school for their daughters. it was tough for Barack. It was the first time in two years that anybody really asked him any tough questions. The good news is that the school in question will now be teaching the two first daughters. The bad news, the school will no longer be allowed to attend any press conferences.

So now the school is like Fox News, except the President Elect acknowledges the existence of the school.

The first press conference went great if you ask me. He said he consulted with all the living presidents. See, he’s from the Chicago political machine where the dead are still active in the community. Especially during elections. Anyway, he got in  this quip about Nancy Reagan and how she used to hold seances with past presidents. HA HA.  This was his B material. Otherwise he would have said something classy like “I know people really loved Reagan, so I went and danced on his bones to get a feeling for his vibe.”  HA HA. Well, i guess it’s all in HOW you say the joke.

Anyway, Barry apologized and now all is good. Great first press conference. His entire staff was there including Rahm his new chief of staff. Rahm was quoted as saying “I will work hard to cut off the Republicans’ heads and S@#t down their throats.” Which, when translated by President Elect Obama meant, “I will work in the spirit of bipartisanship to forge a new Washington and reach across the aisle to serve America in this time of need.”

Also, a bunch of foreign leaders called him to congratulate him and tell him that America has FIFTY states. ironically, that’s also how foreign leaders start their conversations with Dubya.

Anything else happening?

Lots

I’ll be sure to keep you informed
