John McCain on Tonight's show

Very funny opening: 

Jay: how are you doing these days? 

McCain: I slept like a baby.  I slept for two hours, wake up and cry; slept for another two hours, woke up and cry...  

Earlier in the promotional piece, Jay asked what McCain is doing.  

McCain: I'm working in the transition team.

Jay: I admire you dedication to the nation for working in the Obama transition team. 

McCain: No, I'm working in the Conan O'Brien transition team.  

Now that the election is over. The funny, lovable McCain is back.  

The Prop 8 problem: what are Californians thinking?

Barack Obama led the rest of the Democrats to a huge win on Tuesday night.  However, liberals across California suffered a major setback on Prop 8, which was surprisingly passed by a not so small margin.  

On the surface, the conservative religious groups such as those from Salt Lake were to blame. But I believe that the anti-prop 8 people ignored a very important group in California: the Latinos. Although we can count on most of them to vote for Democrats, they are also very devoted Catholics that value traditional definition of marriage: a union between a man and a woman.  Equality here may not worth much here.  

May be next time around, we should just abandon all benefits/rights associated with the magic word "marriage".  Those Constitution law scholars should think of some way that can change the legal definition as "unions", wherever financial and other benefits/rights are considered.  So, the religious can have their holy "marriage" still between a man and a woman while the others can enjoy the other rights/benefits.  

Isn't this what they ask for in the first place?  

President Barack Obama: the new era

As expected with unexpected wins in the south, Barack Obama officially won the 2008 presidential campaign. Although he's even not my favorite Democrat, I was finally converted by Barack Obama's acceptance speech tonight. 

John McCain is still my hero.  He has given a very touching, graceful concession speech.  

Frankly, Obama's victory (along with other demarcate wins), is a very lucky one due to the perfect timing of the financial crisis. Considering 90% of the black vote went to him, I have a hard time to accept this is a race not about race, at least for the blacks.  

Now that the Democrats control both the White House and the Hill, they have no excuse for the next two years.  

My prediction for today

Here's my prediction using CNN's prediction tool. 

Basically, the election will be decicded by Florida, Ohio, and Missori.  In the end, I think Obama will take Ohio and Missori and won.  

Let's see. 

Thank you Gov. Sarah Palin for making this election season the most entertaining and enjoyable

Even since the beginning of the campaign season, I was very relaxed.  For all that I care, whoever been elected, he can't be worse than W.

Now that with SNL and Gov. Sarah Palin, this election season is funnier than ever.

All I want to say, at the eve of the election, is "Thank you, Gov. Palin", for all that laught you've brought with you from the great state of Alaska, where people there are all with abundant foreign policy expertise by watching over Russia in the morning. 

Don't Vote PSA

After registration, you've got to vote, on election day, if you haven't vote ahead of time.  

What are these people waiting for to vote on the election day?  

A scando between now and Tuesday?  

It's time to make up  your mind, whatever it is, and vote. 

No, this is not the most important election of your lifetime, but well, that depends also.  Who would ever thought this nutjob did all these over the past eight years?
