Is it still not up as of 8:25 EST or is it just my computer?

It’s up and working fine.

I thought Roger would be taller.

I was very impressed by the Pajamas Media discussion group. You are going in the right direction.

Have to agree with David, I also was very impressed. Watched it until hunger overtook.

A note I wrote three friends tonight, all of whom live in Obama yard sign territory, and all of whom supported Senator John McCain. This may express the feelings of some other PJM readers. First off, Roy N: Roger IS tall: just look at the picture posted a few days ago next to the Wood man. Roger is plenty tall.
The e-mail, sent just after McCain’s concession speech:

What a guy. What a class act. What dignity, what honor, what humility, what peace with himself.
What a loss to the nation and the world. The most generous and gracious concession speech I’ve ever heard. Would that I had heard it from BHO.
It has been endlessly heartening and comforting to know that the three of you assessed the situation as I did, and were with McCain until the end. I am an optimist when I believe there is good reason to be, but I am not optimistic tonight. I feel the way I did when, as a child, I learned of Lincoln’s assassination (not contemporaneous to the event, of course, but close enough—about 86 years later.) The sense of loss is overwhelming.
The next time we all meet, I will have recovered a modicum of composure, I guess, but this disappointment is intense. It saddens me no end that two great soldiers, McCain and Dole, who risked their lives and limbs for the liberty of the people of the United States of America and the world were both defeated at the polls by men who never even enlisted, much less were tested and maimed for life on the field of battle.
Thank you all again for being supportive in these painful times, especially of late as the reality was closing in, like a nightmare invading one’s sleep. And now we’re awake and the invasion has truly begun. All those limos filled with all those ignorant, arrogant creeps whizzing around Washington, rushing to their next meetings to make egregious decisions with no thought, no preparation, no knowledge—just punch-drunk with power.
And so to bed.
With great appreciation for your solidarity in the face of the opposition all around us. When those all around you were losing their bearings, you three stood firmly for McCain. Long live McCain. We may never live to see his like again. A great spirit, a great soul.

Thanks, Belladonna, but I’m not that tall…. only compared to Woody. (It’s great to be photographed with people like that.)

I do not know which is worse, the past eight years of hatred towards President Bush, and the office itself, or the smitten love rhapsodies of the left, the media, and the cacophony of those interminable polls.

I believe they thought that the only way to do it was to do it dishonestly, and now we’ve elected a complete stranger. MCain treated him with far too much respect. Only to have the petulant 0ne shaft him and dig up dirt on any who would question his true motives, or what he would do, with yet more power.

I am relieved that the 0bamathon campaign is (finally) over. I shudder of the sheer banality to follow. But I also believe, as some have suggested, that our system of government will survive this fiasco, because it is far greater than the fools who’ve now been allowed abuse it further.

A wake indeed, the sleeping giant slumbers on.

Roger: You ARE tall in all important ways, head and shoulders above the MSM and Hollywood: it’s the movies that got small. Looking forward to BLACKLISTING MYSELF.
