The Wife's reaction (from her bed on the sofa): "I've got a fucking hangover, and a sick belly, but I'd jump around if I could, because I'm delighted Barack Obama won the election. To the people who voted for him, fair play for getting up off your arses and away from your computers for once to cast your vote. I would be very proud to be an American citizen right now. If anybody wants to give me a green card, contact me through Colin's mogmail. America, fuck yeah!"

Gee thanks Jill, we are pretty happy about it too. :)
Jill sez: "Dale, I'm very happy that you're very happy. You deserve to be. It's a great day all over the world. Now, about that green card..."
Please tell Jill that I agree with her 100%, and that I hope that her hangoverness goes away quickly! :)
Jill sez: "Anna, I really like that word 'hangoverness'. It's almost like 'happiness'. I didn't go out last night and make myself sick, I went out and made myself happy. I now don't feel so bad. Thanks!"
Colin sez: "Can Jill recover from this hangover? YES SHE CAN!"
She's just that happy because she thinks he's Irish! It's OBAMA, not O'Bama, wifey!
Tyler says, "Hangover Cure? HAVE ANOTHER CAN!"
I havent been this happy since The Patriots lost the superbowl...
"Can Jill recover from this hangover? YES SHE CAN!"
"Hangover Cure? HAVE ANOTHER CAN!"
I vote for these to become MOG's next two taglines.
Perfect post Flux' prophetically beautiful on this momentous occassion, wish Sam were here. Thanx
Oh sure, have another can, that's your solution to everything. :P
@ Tyler - O'Bama's special advisor to short people:
Jill sez: "Have another can? A man after my own heart, a true alcoholic."
@ Mr Frost - Jill sez: "Good man. But who the fuck are the Patriots? Is it basketball?"
@ Anna - Yes, we should have an election to decide which is best. (I miss elections.)
@ Changling - Yep, couldn't put it better - beautiful and prophetic.
@ Dale - A can for Republicans this morning:
Well, since the CAN jokes have been emptied and crushed, I guess I'll just say - don't stay in a drunken stupor for the next four years, you'll miss all the fun!!
@ Scot - Jill sez: "Scot is right. He can be my AA buddy. I'll call him when I feel a stupor coming on."
A little late by then, but I'll drink to that!!
"Quick, call Scot."
^ hahhha!!
Colin, this is the first song I've listened to this morning. Now I'm a little veclemp (sp?) with even more happiness. I better have tissues on hand to put this perfect song on repeat all day.
I'm very happy to hear that it played a part in your day, Brittany! I got a powerful emotional hit when I first heard the song, but its resonance today is off the scale. :)
I'll only endorse a position for Bono if he's forced to wear a leprechaun outfit. Maybe Bono's own inflated sense of self worth can bring value back to the dollar!
'America, Fuck Yeah!' I LOVE that movie(& own it). Those Southpark guys(who created the film) are hysterical. Great song.
So you are Jill's secretary now huh, lol. And I'm SO excited my vote counted this go 'round! GO OBAMA!
@ Tyler - "Bono's own inflated sense of self worth can bring value back to the dollar!" Hahaha!
@ A1 - Matt Damon! Well done on the vote. I love being Jill's secretary, although the high heels are starting to pinch.
The same song came to my mind as I watched the results come in last night. Not a lot of dry eyes in the house, here...or in the country, for that matter.
Wish Sam Cooke could be here to see it.
Colin - as her secretary does she make you wear the tight pencil skirt as well? Andsince her music perceptions are always so right on, can she explain why Sam Cooke is the right musician for today?
Oh, this household was the same. Crying diff types of tears now watching a rerun of the Stewart/Colbert election coverage.
If Sam was around now, I think they'd give him a Cabinet job.
@ Jonh - Unfortunately I'm not in the company of my delightful wife at the moment, but your perception about her music perceptions was very perceptive, as she was the one who suggested the song. ;)
@ A1 - That's what I'm talking about!
Here's one of my many favorite scenes in the movie:
Mr. and Mrs. Capacitor, i am completely with you on "fair play for getting up off your arses and away from your computers for once". it had to be the toughest task involved in this election!
Ilay, please. You're blowing the dignified mood of this post with your irreverence.
ahahahahahah.
oopsie. i just laughed away any dignity left in this post. ;p
