Hot Tamale! Election Day!

Good morning Norteamericanos - it's time for a peaceful transition of power! Agusta and myself are in Durham North Carolina, where oddly enough we're projected to get up to 8 inches of snow! It was nearly 60 degrees a week ago!
Anyway, We're watching CNN with the mute button on, and listening to NPR like a bunch of dorks. We'll be working from the hotel room today, and watching all the stuff as it happens live. I'm looking forward to Obama's speech, and particularly excited to hear a 'call to volunteerism' or other such invocation regarding public service. I like stuff like that, and one of my biggest disappointments in Bush [2]'s tenure was his attitude that in a post 911 world we should just try and live our lives as if nothing had changed. I wanted the country to mobilize in a way that would terrify the living hell out of our enemies, and instead we were encouraged to spend spend spend! I understand the reasoning for this, but it frustrated me anyway.
And speaking of anyway, the inauguration day fever inspired me (not Agusta, just me on my own - she had nothing to do with this) to create the following;
Stunning. No, no, you're awesome [again - Agusta had nothing to do with this comic, and she would like to remind everyone that this comic is not humorous at all, and in all likelihood may indeed be stupid. Additional, Michael may allegedly be a 'total jerk' for even making her read it]. Happy Inauguration Day!

When the drone of NPR is no longer a drone, but a cacophony of information and ideas that when couched with the aesthetic of other media outlets exposes them as lacking, you have either become a. smarter or b. a very boring person in general. Pray its the former, but not out loud lest you drown out the subtle intonation of Robert Segal or in depth commentary of Cokie Roberts.

Ugh, I hate everything. said...

You're doing fine with that drawin' hand. Real fine.
