Not that I update this blog with any degree of regularity (not that I have a staggeringly huge readership beyond the Google spiders that pop in every so often for a bite)…

… but with the past year or so of this blog mainly focused on Election 2008, I will need to decide what to focus on next.

Most likely, I will probably steer ahead in a more “spiritual” direction (as was the original intent of this incarnation of the blog) and avoid too much overt criticism of politics (ya never know when the Thug Thizzles™ or the Civilian National Security Service™ a.k.a. the Obamastapo™ or maybe even some billy-club brandishing Black Panthers might show up to take issue with my issues).

At least until President-Elect Obama or his minions do something so completely over the top that it warrants my Opinion™ of it.

And of course, once the final Cylon is revealed in the final half of the final season of Battlestar Galactica to bring that series to its (happy?) ending… I’ll be there to blog it.

But for now, I’m going to rest my weary head.

… for the demise of Republican Party for the foreseeable future (assuming of course, that we do not learn our lessons from this crushing defeat both in the POTUS and most Congressional races, including the one in my own local district.

As for the dead mascot elephants, just consider it some dark humour on my part… though I would probably not have enjoyed being part of the clean team that hauled these beasts’ carcasses off to the great beyond.

Though we are moving into a Brave New World of Socialism (although I expect that the smarter heads among the Dems will opt for a policy of incrementalism that won’t shock the nation into a massive buyer’s regret by 2010…) I am glad for one thing:

That this seemingly multi-year campaign season is finally at an end, and we can get on with our lives, enjoying the final two-plus months of freedom. But fear not… elephants also have long memories, and we will be watching you Dems very closely.
