One Day More!

[elisi]

Finally! I've been waiting to post this for what seems like ages - Les Misbarack:

Watch on YouTube

To help pass the time, other fun things:

Sarah Palin: Fangirl by sheafrotherdon. (This SLAYED me! *flails*)

selenak hated what the last eight years did to what was once a favourite show, "The U.S. of A". (...All the recasting didn't help, either, especially since the Attorney Generals all seemed to be the same character (see: Hooray, Torture agenda) while having different names. What was up with that?)

Lovely article: My wife made me canvas for Obama; here's what I learned.

adinfinitum has an Obama picspam. (Will MURDER dial-up, srsly.)

And - for anyone who missed it - my very silly election fic: The Election, as seen from Torchwood Cardiff.

For those who want something a little more indepth, Andrew Sullivan's leading article in yesterday's Sunday Times: Obama: I am the chosen One. Untried, untested but ready, Obama dares the US to vote him in.

Finally, The Sunday Times also printed an excerpt from 'Audacity of Hope': Obama in his own words: the day I put my arm around President George Bush.

I'll quote a snippet, because it highlights one of the main reasons I want him to win - the ability to disagree without being disagreeable, and find common ground:

After the trappings of office are stripped away, I find the president and those who surround him to be pretty much like everybody else, possessed of the same mix of virtues and vices, insecurities and long-buried injuries, as the rest of us.

No matter how wrongheaded I might consider their policies to be – and no matter how much I might insist that they be held accountable for the results of such policies – I still find it possible, in talking to these men and women, to understand their motives, and to recognise in them values I share.

AAAiiiieeeee!!! I am going to be a wreck by the end of the day tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is so much at stake and I am so scared that this is going to get screwed up.

The linky spam of praise helps (and I might add that the Les Mis on is pure joy for me since I used to fangirl Les Mis hard, and I didn't even go back to eating people after it. Plus, Palin as the Thenardier's, hee!). I have this urge to hide all day today, then vote first thing and move on to hiding all day tomorrow.

Hold me. *clings*

At least you get to vote! All we can do over here is bite our nails and pray.

*holds you tightly*

Heck, I'm in Chicago. The dead vote here, I'm sure you wouldn't have that much of a problem with something as trivial as citizenship. At least you have a pulse.

The dead vote here
Heeee! Now I'm imagining hundreds of vampires, shielded from the sun with umbrellas & bit hats & blankets, lining up to vote! :)

(And how would the ads aimed at vampires go? Hmm....)

Well apparently some people want to find out.

I voted. Now comes the nervous waiting. *bites nails*
