So I watched President-elect Obama's acceptance speech tonight and I was touched. He was focused, on point, gracious, and truly seemed to be making an effort to reach out tonight. Mrs. Corleone sat me down tonight and suggested perhaps I'd been drinking too much of the Kool-Aid in these past few days. I suspect, as always, she may have been right.

I do predict that taxes will go up for everyone who's household clears 70k or more, but now that the rational side of my brain has been restored to me, I can say that it's not really mine, I owe it to the next generation to leave a functioning economy to them and I do believe my new president will do his best to make that happen. If I lose my house, well, God provides.

I apologize for getting a little too full of piss down the stretch. I will not edit my prior post, as I don't want to pretend I didn't say what I said, but I will say I do not actually expect the worst. I will do my best to see that my new President's promises come true and I will not be partisan, I will work to fulfill America's promise. 2012 will be here soon enough.
