The Presidential Election
Politics on a weblog is like picking up a stick of old, wet dynamite. You might grab it and absolutely nothing happens, or it might very well explode in your face. It is for this reason that I try to avoid political discussion on prefrontal.org. Every weblog must have a focus, and there are more than enough political blogs to go around. Still, I am compelled to write just one post after the recent presidential election. One post to say how much I have been desperately hoping for a new direction in our political system. One post to tell you how much of that hope I have invested in one man. One post to announce that I worked hard to help that man be successful. One post, to tell you that he was in fact successful.
Congratulations, President-elect Barack Obama.
