If four years from now, I can still access my own money from my own bank account and no one has mispronounced the word nuclear, I will consider the Obama presidency a rip-roaring success.

During the course of the Obama speech, 10s of millions of shares were traded and the Dow drifted from low to lower.

Time to get to work.

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;

The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,

And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout;

There is even joy in Mudville–great Cynicism has struck out.

It is my sincere hope that all of you will join Obama, me and millions of others in ringing in a new era of politics in which we listen to one another, respect each others’ views (even when we disagree) and take serious steps towards improving our own internal, across the aisle dialogue as we move to celebrate our national unity and usher in a new chapter in American discourse. It all starts at noon on Tuesday.

In the meantime: Hey all you neocon, right wing, religion manipulating, Fox News watching, intellect hating, anti-equality stupid mother-fuckers – suck it you stupid jerks. Suck the election, suck the crowds of cheering Americans across the country, suck the improved perception of America that already exists across the world and suck all of your shallow and pathetic attempts to fool a voting public you so clearly despise. Suck pretending you respected Palin you lying dicks. We’re even gonna get Franken in there, bitches. Suck on that for a few fucking years you shitfucks.

And before you even start, put a lid on any and all celebrity hating. We got Beyonce. I hope they put her and Springsteen and Jack Black on a friggin dollar bill before this is over. Deal with it you shitheads.

OK, let’s dialogue.

We pause, before the politics start and reality sets in, during all the hoopla, and all the news, good and bad, from the economy to planes landing on rivers, and in between all the alerts, tweets, pokes, messages and meanderings, just to think, for an unsplit second, how truly historic and unbelievable and wonderful this American moment really is…

… that felt good, didn’t it?
