Think things are crazy here? You should see what’s happening abroad. It turns out, for this brief moment, they actually like America because of our ability to elect Barack Obama. Something about the American dream or blah blah blah. Not only are they excited that millions of white Christians voted for the black son of a Muslim, but they love that we finally ditched that George W. Bush guy, who has been plaguing them for the last eight years. In Kenya, Obama’s grandmother (the black one, not the dead white one) celebrated the news of the victory. In fact, Kenya made it a national Obama holiday. Obamaween, as we’ve decided to call it, will include kids dressing up in suits, gathering around the Obama tree, and giving the gift of soaring rhetoric to each other. Then they socialize something. It really is a brave new world.
