Just Basking

So many things to comment about... so little time.

How about some quick takes?

Hillary. Good choice?
My take: Yes. She quick on the uptake, and she'll be surprisingly loyal. If Obama will give Bill ambassadorship of, say, Antarctica, he'll be all set.

Bill Richardson. Good pick?
Hell yes. We even got the beard-free version.

Detroit. Bail 'em out?
Yes. They are idiots, embracing failed models, too many brands, and they're far too slow to build good, reliable cars that aren't SUVs, but the loss of jobs would be devastating. I say we exact huge promises out of them before they see a cent. No more battles over increasing the millage of their cars.

Gotta run.
But in the meantime I'm going to bask in the presidential victory. Ahhh. Petty perhaps, but I sincerely hope that all the idiots that wrote into the newspapers crowing about Bush's supposed mandate and "political capital" back in 2004 put the election results in their collective pipe and take a good puff. Change has come. As usual, the other side has left us a horrendous mess to clean up, on more fronts than can be counted, a legacy of a obviously failed administration that embraced incompetence and tunnel vision when not swaggering with unearned bravado or buckling under its own misguided ideolology—but such is life. It's a new day.
