Full disclosure: In over 66 years on this big blue marble I can’t remember a time when I’ve been so happy to be wrong. Fried crow is on the menu for lunch. This is the second time in less than a week I’ve been up all night (when the Cubs won the Series last Wednesday) and I had to go deliver my papers. Fortunately, being retired, I can get some sleep anytime. I broke my self-imposed boycott of network news after it became apparent the good folks at MSDNC would all be on suicide watch. It was truly a beautiful thing. I spent most of last night on Facebook and it was wild. I’m posting some of it here. After I get some sleep there will be more, including a confession.
All I can add for now is thanks to the Lord God Almighty for having mercy on his children. He had a big hand in things. You’ll never convince me otherwise.
THERE GOES MY SHOT AT SECRETARY OF STATE
Reblogged this on Lucky Otters Haven and commented:
I woke up this morning in a state of grief. I mourn the death of democracy and the very real danger that all the progress we’ve made since the civil rights movement will be lost. But these memes, cynical and bitter though they are, at least made me smile.

I will enjoy every minute at work today. My liberal co-workers were freaking out last night when it took Hillary so long to get VA…by what… clinching the felon vote. Gee, thanks McAwful. One reporter almost had a meltdown when he found out that independents were voting for Trump. It was even worse when it was reported that the Williamsburg area gave Trump 50% of the vote, at press time. I left work after 10 pm, just after their freakout mode started. I did savor every minute of watching the somber, disbelieving faces on the CBS “news” team. We went to bed at 2:30 am because I had to get up at 6:30. I woke up at 4am and checked my phone to find out the results. I’ve never cried about an election, but this time it was different. A great win for America!

All the “journalists” weeping and gnashing teeth over Trump’s win should be all the proof we need that the MSM is totally biased.

Seriously: WWwwwhhhhheeeewwwww!
BTW, I’ve learned that when you pray real hard for something, and you actually get it, it’s a good idea to say THANK YOU!!
THANK YOU, LORD, that we do not have President Arkancider.
