I've decided to start writing here again... A lot has happened in the world of politics and hockey since I last left you... Here is where we are today:
BARACK OBAMA WINS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Barack Obama's historic victory over John McCain is probably the greatest thing to ever happen to humanity. I say this of course in a bit of a joking way, but considering all the racial injustice that has plagued this country since it's inception... it's a great day.
I'm happy my guy won. He ran a tremendous campaign, and he showed himself to be a thoughtful, wise leader... but even I recognize all of our problems will not be solved by his election into office. Still, it was hard not to walk with an heir of pomposity on the morning of November 5th. For a short while, it felt like everything was going be better.
HILLARY CLINTON NOMINATED FOR SECRETARY OF STATE
After the long bitter primary campaign, where Hillary & Bill accused Senator Obama of being an unpatriotic, borderline terrorist Barack Obama rewarded her by naming her Secretary of State. Nice one Barack.
There was a funny political cartoon in Newsweek a few weeks back that had a depiction of Obama's new cabinet. Hillary, McCain, Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, George Bush were all sitting around a table with Barack Obama when Joe Biden leans over to someone's ear and he says, "I think he's taking this team of rivals thing too seriously."
Anyway, it was funny.
as for hockey....
AS OF TODAY, THE STARS RANK DEAD LAST IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE
I think Stars fans feel like they are getting their own version of the Dallas Stars "sloppy seconds" this season. They have played better this December, I will try to perform a biopsy on this space a little later in the week.
