ok, it’s election day and it’s time for a list.
1-i’m nervous. anxious. eesh. i’m sure that xanax is being gobbled across the u.s by dem’s and gop’ers alike.
2-here’s my prediction in electoral college votes…
obama 314 electoral college votes
mccain 224 electoral college votes
i could be completely wrong, but that’s my(hopeful, of course)prediction.
if i’m right you can please feel free to tell people that i’m a political savant, like yogi berra(minus the baseball).
3-we launched:
http://www.myspace.com/thisislastnight
non-stop disco site party time that is ostensibly up to promote ‘last night: remixed’ which was released
yesterday(the fact that it was released the day before the u.s elections is just a weird coincidence).
it’s a really good record, and i can say that objectively as all of the remixes were done by dj’s and producers
who are much cooler than i.
4-as i write this(2:30 a.m monday night/tuesday morning)i find it almost disconcerting to think of how
good an obama presidency would be for the u.s and for the world. to have a president who is young and principled
and intelligent. to have a president who is open-minded and willing to listen to ideas regardless of where they come from.
to have a president who would enjoy the support of the rest of the world.
and, to have a president who is african-american. i can’t even begin to conceive of how amazing
it is that we might wake up on wednesday to have an african-american president-elect. 40 years ago blacks in many
parts of the u.s couldn’t even use public drinking fountains. and now we might have an african-american president.
amazing. america’s capacity to re-invent itself and to make itself anew continues to amaze me.
5-if you haven’t voted, go vote. be an agent of change. help to elect barack obama and joe biden to the highest
office in the united states.
thanks,
