What a difference a week makes! Last Friday, all the Gopers were high-fiving and rejoicing over Chicago (and America's) loss in its bid to get the Olympics. How the rethugs reacted to that development compared to their reaction this morning to the news that OUR president won the 2009 Nobel Peace prize is a perfect example of just how consistently inconsistent the party of no really is.

Truly, where was Beck's outrage last year, and Rushbo's, and O'hannity's? The tax code has been changed, yes, but in favor of the lower and middle-class. Taxes have gone down, not up, so why was there no tea-baggin' last year. Or if there was, why did Fox not cover it?

Sorry to all you diary police, but there is no general forum here to post this, and I thought someone might be interested in taking my hotel reservation that I'm about to cancel.

Update: Well, my number was 21, the number of the late, great Roberto Clemente. Johnsonresult was closest with a guess of 16, so Johnsonresult wins. Okay, now, here's the thing; how do I contact you? I can't find an email address or IM link. Any suggestions?.

I'm watching the New York Giants play a football game on television; 67 years ago today, while football fans were listening to the Giants game on the radio, news came of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. 67 years ago, on a Sunday very much like today, the lives of Americans from every walk of life changed forever, and we should never forget it.

This quote from Sen. Lieberman says it all:

"This is the beginning of a new chapter, and I know that my colleagues in the Senate Democratic Caucus were moved not only by the kind words that Senator Reid said about my longtime record, but by the appeal from President-elect Obama himself that the nation now unite to confront our very serious problems," Lieberman said after the vote.

I know this isn't the result that some of you wanted, but it's the perfect beginning to a successful Obama administration.

UPDATE: Wow; how nice that someone actually read my diary. It's amazing what one has to do to get noticed around here. In the end, my point is that I think way too much energy is being spent to "get Joe". Obama is not going to be focused on retribution, but on getting this country working again. So for all you obsessed individuals, get used to the idea that things are going to be different from now on. We'll have a president who actually wants to work with everyone, not just those who agree with him. Gee, sure wish this site was like that.

hat the hell has happened to this place since Tuesday, Nov. 4th? I mean, we won, right? So then why all the griping? Let's fight about Nadar! Ridiculous; he ran, he got some votes, he lost, the end. Let's fight about Hillary; give it a rest; the primaries are long gone; let's begin to heal. But the worst: let's take action to get Lieberman thrown out of the Dem. caucus or off as chair of the Homeland Security Committee. Really? More venting below the fold.

Okay, so, I stopped watching MSM news back in April, thanks to the nonsensical, non-stop Rev. Wright coverage. Imagine my dilemma last night trying to decide which network to watch for election returns. More over the fold.

WE WIN! Yes we did! I just wanted to express my heartfelt congratulations to each and every one of you here on Dkos. Because of you, we have a singular president, one for the ages. Because of you we did the impossible. Imagine 5 years ago if someone had said that in 2008, America would elect a black man whose name was Barack Hussein Obama. They'd have carted you off to the funny farm.

Just a brief post from one happy canvasser here in Mt. Lebanon, PA, a small community 6 miles south of Pittsburgh. I can't believe how many people were out and about today! It was like being a part of the D-Day invasion of Normandy.

I heard a great story the other day about this guy who climbed K-2, the 2nd highest mountain on Earth. He makes it to the top and gets lost on the way down, only to discover a little village in Pakistan that helps him survive and get back home. He appreciates them so much that he later helps build them a school. He has now built a great many schools there in Pakistan, all because he got lost on the way back down from the summit of K-2. There are no coincidences.

Now, about this Barack Obama guy. Follow me below the fold.

OMG! AP buries 10 point Obama lead in new [old] poll; calls it "even in the homestretch"!

Just when I thought the AP couldn't sink any further, they are pushing the notion that the race is even because of the fact that those "deemed" likely to vote in their poll chose Obama over McCain 44-43.
