The beginning of the end...

Via The Daily Telegraph is a picture gallery of some of their favourite Bush moments.

The pictures don't really convey the presidential legacy thing than how those British folks really feel about our Bushie.



I too, am suffering from campaign withdrawal

Unlike Joel Schwartzberg ("I Suffer From Campaign Withdrawal"), I don't see Wolf Blitzer in the face of every bearded man that walks by.  But I do feel odd.  The November 4 elation has slowly faded away as I'm now refocusing my attention on the transition.  

After the election, I remembered why I wasn't an avid MSNBC or CNN watcher.  I hate all the oddball news mixed in with interviews with foreign diplomats and every other story rendered "Breaking News."  I miss all horse race.  I miss the ginormous touch screens with the electoral maps. I'm going to miss Olbermann and Maddow bashing on McCain and Palin.  

What am I going to do with myself?  

At least I'm not an Obama-supporter-zombie: 



Sunday Quotes, 5 days since Obama won the election

"This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny." 
     - Franlkin D. Roosevelt 

"It was a great hour to live." 
     - Winston Churchill 

"With him we get a president with the political intelligence of a Bill Clinton harnessed to the steely self-discipline of a Vladimir Putin. (I say this admiringly.) With these qualities, Obama will now bestride the political stage as largely as did Reagan." 
     - Charles Krauthammer, "The Campaign Autopsy," The Washington Post, 11/07/08
