Oh yeah, that!

I never posted on Wednesday, November 5, about the incredible results of the election the night before. I was up till midnight, glued to my television and the internet. The acceptance speech brought me to tears - before it even started.

Today my Gmail had a link to a Larry King interview with Bill Maher. It was interesting, thoughtful, and funny. Excerpt ....

King: You recently issued one of your new rules decreeing that Obama must give comedians something to work with. Any suggestions?

Maher: No. It's very difficult. We have been spoiled, first with Bill Clinton and then George Bush. And here's a president now who -- he's not stupid. He's not angry. He's not a phony. He's not fat. He's not cheating on his wife.

Who needs a jerk like that around for the next four years? Come on.

(LAUGHTER)

But look, he's going to be the president and we're going to have to get over our nervousness about making fun of a black person. He's not a black person. He's the president.
