breathing again

ah pre election stress disorder. I have been fighting the urge to hide under my duvet, avoiding newspapers tv and radio. remembering all the tory election victories I stayed up to watch - I'm the only person I know who didn't watch the 1997 labour landslide because I was so sick of being disappointed.

I remember the day after it though, bright sunshine and smiling faces on the train. Not feeling an outsider for a change.

(and yes, slow disappointment and disillusion is better than the kick in the teeth that was thatcher 3 times and bush twice)

We need our turn to be catching the wave instead of choking under it. But it isn't a time to relax and just enjoy going with the tide for a change (well not for too long anyway).

We are labouring to give birth to the future, it's time to push when the wave comes.

a huge thank you to all those Americans who saw past the trivia of skin colour and fancying sara palin.

And in case you missed Samantha Bee on McCain and his air quotes:

I thought it was hilarious and never even saw the original
