So, as a "fundie" (whom I guess is anyone who believes Jesus is the Christ instead of Obama), I spent election night watching DVD's...season 1 of "24", in fact. I checked the returns on my computer between episodes and would mutter the occasional "oh shit!" or "oh crap!" which I don't believe is speaking in tongues (more like election night Tourette's) but I could be wrong. The next day I went into town to the home and feed store my friend (rabid Obama supporter) owns to get my weekly supplies. She's been worried about how slow business has been. I teased her that since Obama is now president-elect it would be all rainbows, unicorns, and blue skies from now on. We laughed, talked about the usual things we talk about farming, pets, kids, husbands, etc. (we've actually managed to solve all the world's problems but no one seems to be listening to us). Then I paid for my stuff, had one of her employees load my truck and went home. Okay, I DID go a little ga-ga over the really cool Dale Evans replica lunch boxes she'd just got in. My family room has an cowboy "outdoorsy" theme and it would look really cool on my shelf next to my "Don't squat with your spurs on" (that's good advice, I don't care who you are) plaque. I didn't drool, foam at the mouth, or roll around on the floor or anything. I feel SO let down...in spite of the fact that "my" side lost the election my life has gone on as it always has with faith, family, friends, farm, etc. being most important...I missed the opportunity to have a mental meltdown and speak in tongues. Sheesh! Evidently the democrats are even going to take away my "angst" and "crazy".
