Is Obama one of the elect?

Get it? One of the elect? Get it?? Because he was elected?

Har!

Pffft. Can you believe some people think we Christians aren’t funny? Me neither.

I blame Mark Driscoll, with his … Angry Birds haircut.

So Obama won! I must say that works for me personally, because this country needs another elitist, beady-eyed, bobble-headed ammoral frat-boy for president like it needs another lie-based war paid for with a credit card.

Anyway, has anyone seen the new TV show Ben and Kate? It’s by far my favorite show of the new season.

Chandler Matthew Perry’s new show, Go On, is also good. And I really want to like Mindy Kaling’s new show, but it’s still looking for itself a little, as new shows must. So we’ll see.

Stupidly, I like The Neighbors. The non-alien husband on it is extremely terrific.

I’m glad the election’s over. I’m glad it went the way it did. That said, I’m distinctly unthrilled that Romney did as well as he did. What is that about? That fool did the impossible: he made me miss Newt Gingrich.

The truth is that you, me, and everybody else who’s reasonably sentient knows exactly what that’s about. It’s no mystery why Mitt Romney did as well as he did. And it’s got as much to do with politics as I do with fashion design.

Not, God forbid, that we can talk about what I’m (not) talking about.

In my head, though, I do have a joke. Whenever some purely partisan pundit is criticizing Obama for a reason that has no discernible merit I imagine them panickedly saying, “[Blank] in the White House! There’s a [blank] in the White House!”

Ah humor. Without it where would we be?

Where are we with it, come to that?

Oh, right. We’re at the day after the 2012 presidential elections. And I am today very proud to be an American.
