Historic

Congratulations to President-elect Obama.  He waged a good campaign and deserves his victory.

And it is undeniably historic that Americans have elected our first black president.  I do wish it were someone slightly less a man of the left, though.

I sincerely hope that he is a successful president and that his policies are not the unmitigated disaster I fear they will be.

I have the distinct feeling that I will have lots of opportunity to write about misguided, counterproductive government policies over the next few years.  But then, I was going to have that opportunity no matter who won last night.  It's the nature of the beast.
