Okay, first, the dreaded song lyric quotation, but I can't help it:

All my dreams came true last night
All my hopes and fears
All my dreams came true once more
In tears -- in tears --

Wow.

Look what we did.

President-Elect Obama.

Okay, I guess we get to all get used to hearing that, now.

The United States is a multicultural country, and we'll have a chance now to be represented by a multicultural man, whom the rest of the world seems to want to work with.

Sometimes, I think this country forgets that the rest of the world even exists.

In California, Proposition 8 passed by a narrow margin, and I am ashamed of that.

I've never understood why certain groups are so fascinated by which adults are touching which other adults' genitals.

I guess that's something that will elude me for the rest of my days.

No matter how many pretty feathers and sequins are glued on it, Proposition 8 is nothing but a form of hate speech.

It is a travesty that this state's election secured more rights for farm animals than it did for homosexuals.

No other thoughts in particular tonight.

Election results are here in the special election section of Google News if you want a quick rundown.

And if you want to see what the rest of the world thinks of our results, the international feeds are at the bottom of this page.

In other news, as if there is any, my tattoo is three years old today.

That's it. Have a good Wednesday.
