Ah, landslide?  America gets it right, well at least the youth and (ahem) blacks of America get it right.  Well that’s what CNN told me anyway.  I’ve never seen so much voter analysis as I did last night.  Who knew that Democrats usually lost the Hispanic vote?  Not me.  In all seriousness, last night’s American election was one of my proudest moments as a human.  In Canada though, we remain stuck with a helmet head who eerily resembles a pedophile for a Prime Minister.

John McCain did state that he recognizes how proud African Americans must be.  Seriously?  Old people are racist; can’t the white man be proud too?  Maybe the outcome would have been different had he succeeded in capturing more votes from his own demographic.  No, because most people McCain’s age are fucking dead or demented.  I’m sorry, I digress.  Historic election indeed.

A.J. Burnett will opt out of his contract.  Surprised?  I’m not.  Burnett has pitched only 2 complete seasons in his career, and they were both contract years.  Maybe the Jays will dodge a bullet with this one.  There is no way his G.I. Joe elbow holds up for the duration of whatever foolish contract the Yankees, Red Sox, Orioles, or whoever throws his way.  I hope he goes to the Mets, and his career dies like everyone else who goes to the Mets.

Big fat Kyle Wellwood sniped 2 goals last night, yay!  Way to go Kyle, wanna meet for some burgers?  I shouldn’t be so mean, I applaud his success away from Toronto.  He’s still a softy though, did you realize that dough boy hasn’t registered a penalty minute since the 2005-2006 season?  Yup, he registered all 14 of his career PIMs that year.  What a model of success for pale, chubby readers everywhere.
