Shock? Awe? It's the good kind. :D

I don't think I've ever made as many comments to my various friends LJs with my capslock on as I have this morning. :D I'm delighted, I'm almost ready to hope again. I hate to invest too much in things that seem too good to be true. I want Obama to be the greatest president ever, but he's got so much to calcified structure to deal with. I've never considered hanging a picture of a president on my wall, but I might consider it. In a few years, after we see how he does. This is amazing. AMAZING.


And in other news, here is a website where you can ask Professor Moriarty about your silly questions.

ETA:
Your mere mutterings:
Will Obama be the best president ever?
And the professor's grand reply:
You have worked things in such a fashion that we have only one resource left.

I can's seem to stop writing about it, yet.

I just posted this on my OKCupid journal... (after appropriate crowing, of course, which I already did in my previous entry, I think. :))

I'm giddy inside. Nervous, too, because I want to see him do SO well, I want to see him be the most amazing president EVAH, so f***ing awesome that nobody touches him; I want him to make solar, wind and wave power the mainstays of our energy base; I want him to change school systems so that kids get taught good manners and proper interactions as part of their curriculum, as well as logical and critical thinking, and this Creationisn pseudoscience gets thrown out and laughed at like it deserves; I want a proper public transit infrastructure so infirm people who can't drive don't have to stay inside and isolated all the time; I want the common cold to be cured under his administration and the indiscriminate use of cellphones to disappear.

But what will I be not-disappointed with? Hell, I think if he lives through the next four years without getting assassinated that will be a triumph of a kind. It'd be cool if we can socialize health care so babies can stop dying (Hey, Right to Life, where the hell does our ridiculously high infant mortality rate fit in your scheme of keeping Republicans in office? I don't get it!) and put people to work rebuilding bridges before they collapse.

I honestly don't know what to hope for. I'm so excited that my brain has run wild with speculations, and I'm trying to keep myself in line so that I won't be disappointed. Because if we hope for things which are impossible we might be disappointed even if he actually IS the greatest president ever.
