I’m not bothering to read the news this morning. Somehow, I know what they’re all saying. So, instead I took a tour of the folks in my blogroll and since I have to go to work in a minute (across the dining room) I’ll make this brief.<\/p>\n
Michelle Malkin<\/a> pretty much says what I did first thing this morning (emptying my head of those nightmares I had last night) – except she says it like my drill sergeant would have;<\/p>\n There is no time to lick wounds, point fingers, and wallow in post-election mud.<\/p>\n I\u2019m getting a lot of moan-y, sad-face \u201cWhat do we do now, Michelle?\u201d e-mails.<\/p>\n What do we do now? We do what we\u2019ve always done.<\/p>\n We stand up for our principles, as we always have \u2014 through Democrat administrations and Republican administrations, in bear markets or bull markets, in peacetime and wartime.<\/p>\n We stay positive and focused.<\/p>\n We keep the faith.<\/p>\n We do not apologize for our beliefs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Chris at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy<\/a> must’ve watched me struggle to lift my body from bed to bang on these keys this morning;<\/p>\n It didn\u2019t happen like we wanted but it happened. So what do we do now? There are a lot of people who will just want to stay in bed. Not me. There are a lot of people who will be depressed. Don\u2019t. You have to believe in America. That\u2019s not just a line. In my heart, I believe in America. I believe that America will overcome anything and prosper. We survived 4 years of Carter. We survived 8 years of Clinton. We survived 8 years of Bush. WE WILL SURVIVE THIS. Even if he bombs as president and is worse than Carter, we will survive it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Jennifer Ruben<\/a> dissects the McCain campaign and counts his major mistakes;<\/p>\n The results are in and the recriminations have begun. Sure, it might not have made any difference, but the number of sins of omission and commission by the McCain campaign is breathtaking. Let\u2019s get a head start on the finger-pointing and give you the top thirty mistakes John McCain and his team made:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bryan Pick (my mole at VFF) at QandO<\/a> gets introspective;<\/p>\n I saw Obama’s supporters with tears in their eyes. I heard that some are actually dancing in the streets. I saw many of my friends and family jubilant about the outcome of the election, proud of and in love with<\/em> their country. And what was my response?<\/p>\n I asked everyone who’s celebrating tonight to record their hopeful expectations for an all-Democrat federal government, and later, to compare with the real-world consequences.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Curt at Flopping Aces<\/a> thinks Obama has already peaked;<\/p>\n Congratulations to Barack Obama, our first pure socialist President.<\/p>\n At least we at FA are going to have a TON to write about over the next four years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bloodthirsty Liberal<\/a> reports that change has already reached Israel;<\/p>\n Well, more of the same, actually:<\/p>\n More than 35 Qassam rockets and mortar shells were fired at the western Negev communities early Wednesday, following an Israel Defense Forces operation in the Gaza Strip aimed at thwarting a terror attack.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n JammieWearingFool<\/a> writes that Tim Robbins was feeling another chill wind yesterday. VanHelsing <\/a>at Moonbattery reports that MSNBC has finally come out of their Obama closet.<\/p>\n Oh, and while I’m typing this, Fox calls Coleman the winner over that angry little shit Franken he was running against – by about 600 votes.<\/p>\n And just to rub a little salt in our wounds, Kenya named November 4th a National Holiday<\/a> in honor of Barack Hussein Obama (can we use his middle name yet, by the way).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
