I was going to pop in on Farrar's page but it appears to be trashed

And it looks like page 24 of this thread is one to bookmark :)

Congrats, America :).

Hugs and cheer and a couple of tears at the Tiso household.

John Key has sent his congratulations to Obama.
Presumptious and sycophantic.

Congratulations, World.

Sycophantic? My God, Paul, you really know how to piss on the buzz don't you...

Excuse the caps. I'm in a capital mood.

W00t! Bugger, there's nothing in the fridge at home...

Despite my recent embarrassing antics on page 24 - which are now going to be preserved for posterity in people's bookmarks - I'm so fucking happy right now.
Cheers for a fun afternoon on the internets, people, and well done to American voters, who clearly don't deserve the contempt I've been tempted to hold them in for the last eight years.

Fantastic! My faith in [most] Americans has been restored, this is a brilliant result!

Not a bad time to get stood up at the last moment. And before you (to taste) either get your gloat on, or burst a blood vessel, I think Winston Churchill's epigram to The Second World War has a suitable gravitas for the moment.
**"In war, resolution; in defeat, defiance; in victory, magnanimity; in peace, goodwill." **

Awesome. Simply, awesome.

Congratulations America!!!

Meanwhile, just a random piece of poetry:
Weeds
In gardens, it's the unwanted
babies that grow best and biggest,
swarming our beds of frail
legitimate darlings with roots
like wire and crude, bright flower-heads.They seem oblivious to the fury of steel prongs
earthquaking around them.
If they fall today, tomorrow
they'll stand all the greener.Too soon, the beautiful lives
we've trembled over with sprays
of pesticide, friendly stakes,
and watering-cans at sunset,
give in, leaving us helpless.The weeds, the unfavoured ones,
stare at us hungrily,
and since it is hard to live
empty of love, we try
to smile; we learn to forgive them.Carol Rumens

Churchill? Seriously? Fuck Churchill. Here's MLK, the day before his assassination:
We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man.
(David Gergen made the whole CNN studio tear up with an extract from the very same. Old Republicans have a heart too.)

in victory, magnanimity; in peace, goodwill.
So hoping for an Obama win in Arizona would be mean spirited?
