OBAMA MAKES HISTORY; RUCKUS HIDES MORE IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS

While we were all watching history last night, we were obviously not told about one of the truly IMPORTANT developments taking place around the country:

Greyhound racing is now a crime in Massachusetts.

That's right: in 2010 you will no longer be able to put $2.00 on Fido in the fifth in our country's first settlement.
However, you WILL be able to smoke marijuana.

Yep, they decriminalized pot, but made dog racing illegal.

Were these people STONED?

Meanwhile, people here in AZ were smart enough NOT to adopt a referendum that would have made no-shows at voting booths equivalent to a "No" vote.

However, we somehow decided it was necessary to outlaw gay marriage in Arizona, even though it's ALREADY ILLEGAL HERE.

What's next -- a referendum to outlaw robbery -- AGAIN?

Last night I told my wife that I think it would be fun to try and get a proposition on the ballot that's so trickily worded that it sounds like the best thing since sliced bread, but actually succeeds in prohibiting people from doing something vital; like prohibiting the use of public restrooms for defecating and urinating, but at the same time allowing live music. Or a referendum that prohibits churches from being used as houses of worship, but allows them to sell liquor without a license.

And I bet people would actually vote for it...

I went to an open mic last night and when I came home (listening to McCain's concession speech on the radio) I walked in to find our hedge clippers predominantly displayed on the top of our iguana cage. Janice had put them there. When I asked about it, she said:

"The Bushes have officially been PRUNED!"

We saw history last night, people. Didn't that make you feel GOOD?

Didn't you wish that Dr. King, Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks and -- as my wife pointed out -- Abraham Lincoln -- could have been brought back just to see this?

Comments:
We were very, very pleased with the outcome. The economy has been awful and jobs have been scarce out here. I've only been able to get sporadic temp jobs, and Paul just lost his job. Hopefully, President Obama can turn the economy around and bring jobs back to the USA.
