Different play, same characters

Two weeks since the election. Some results keep falling. Yesterday, we learned that Ted Stevens, Senator from Alaska, a convicted felon, was NOT reelected. A convicted felon lost by so thin a margin that the results were official only two weeks after the election.
But hey, that's Alaska.

Two weeks.
What has happened?

Well, Barack is still here, of course. He will be for the next four years, eight years hopefully. Well actually, he might be here for the next forty years. Yes, apparently, according to some of the best experts -- they are speaking in the telly, so I suppose they are some of the best -- President-elect Obama is a Muslim Socialist taking the country on the slippery slope of dictatorship. So I wouldn't be surprised if one of the first measures Barack takes is shut down Congress, execute the Supreme Court Justices and take all powers in his own hands.
I am not sure that would be such a bad thing, especially if he locks up some of the best experts speaking in the telly.

So Barack is still here, and maybe for a while, but that's not surprising; after all, he was just elected.

Now, more surprising, Sarah is still here.
Oh my gosh, they keep talking about her. She actually keeps talking about herself. We have never seen so many interviews of her. When she was running for Vice President, she was also running away from the evil elite media. Now that she has lost, she talking to everybody.
Well, she might be running for President in 2012. If God shows her an open door.
Yes, guys, don't laugh, she has the experience now. Especially the experience of defeat. There is a rumor that the Obama campaign might raise funds for Palin's campaign in 2012.
Anyway, she does not have any other choice now if she wants to clean up Washington. She hoped to be a Senator. If the convicted felon, Ted Stevens, had won, the Senate would have thrown him out -- after all, he is a convicted felon -- and Sarah could have run for his seat.
But Stevens lost just barely -- well, he is a convicted felon -- so, Sarah won't be a Senator any time soon.

John is still here too. Guess what. Barack invited him for tea. He wants John to work with him. We expect John to be offered a position in the cabinet. Interesting, isn't it. When Barack was talking about bipartisanship on the campaign trail, he was apparently not lying like candidates usually do. This is a bit overwhelming.
What worries me, though, is that John might not be confirmed. If he pals around with Barack, he is actually palling around with a Muslim Socialist terrorist, and so John would be guilty by association, as his running mate Sarah so brilliantly explained the voters during the campaign.
Huh, that's tricky.
Anyway, I hope he will be confirmed, so that I don't have to change the title of my blog.

Finally, guess who's back.
Hillary. Hillary is back. Forget the hard feelings of the campaign during the primaries. Barack wants her to be Secretary of State, that is the person who deals with foreign policy, that is the one subject Barack and Hillary disagreed upon.
Confusing.

Anyway, that's what's going on right now.

Oh, something else. Last night, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy was on David Letterman's show.
I felt a bit ashamed. For months, I made fun of my American friends because their country produced Sarah Palin.
And they got right back at me with Carla Bruni-Sarkozy on TV.
