We interrupt this Historic Moment to give you...

PIE MONSTER!

Well, Senator Obama is now President Elect Obama.  Now how about that.  And not a moment too soon, I may add.  I have to admit, I've been a political junkie for the last few months, and am still sort of in a state of shock. That what we waited for for so long is actually true.  I have to admit, I was slow to the Obama camp.  I saw positive and negative traits and attributes in both him and Hillary, and was a fence sitter for the longest time.  And then he gave his speech on race.  That's what did it for me. Sure, cynics may say that it was the only choice he had, that he would have been creamed otherwise, that it was politically expedient.  Well, I'll tell you what I thought.  I thought this man gets it.  He really gets it.  And in this time, this place, this country needs him and needs him to be the next president.  We turned the page.  We turned the page on the last eight years, on all the fear mongering and stupid decisions, the pandering, on all of it.  

America, this crazy country we still love, who elected a second-rate first class idiot not once (well, maybe) but twice, has the chance to start anew.  Of course it's an uphill battle he inherits, and a deep hole to help us climb out of, but for once we have a president appealing to "our better angels."  For once, there is a leader who is demanding of us sacrifice and hard work, rather than to go shopping.  And my child will never know a time when there wasn't a President Obama.  It is a righteous time in our country's history.  Maybe we did grow up.  Just a little bit.

Oh, and Mr. Tea makes damn good pie.  Just ask Booboo.
