Barack Obama's full acceptance speech after the jump.

John McCain's full concession speech after the jump.

Heeeey, John McCain. You ran for the President, what's that like? You chose Sarah Palin as your VP and it ruined your campaign, what's that all about? I had a bad co-star in Shooter, you see that movie? We should do a film together - wadda you think? I'm not joking around, okay? This is real thing - I mean, this could be huge! Say hi to your mother for me, ok?

Obama won. Attended an awesome election party and drank a bottle of Korbel to celebrate the occasion. McCain's concession speech was awesome and Obama's acceptance speech was absolutely amazing.

Here's to hoping for four years of something different, something good. Four years of intelligent policy and repairing our international image. Obama could give up every single one of his campaign promises except change. I want to see actionable change. Go forth, Mr. President, and whoop some political ass.

to celebrate the premier of his new movie, Quantum of Solace?

He'd throw a kick ass party, of course.

Address of the party has been redacted so heathen blog readers don't show up uninvited.

Invite proofs after the jump.

An amazing article published by the highly reputable *cough* UK news source, The Independent, on one of my favorite topics: Men acting like real damned men and not the sissified, cigarette-jean wearing, overly emoting, eye-shadowed, overly privileged jackasses we see around large metropolitan areas today. There are still real men somewhere in the heartland of America but I certainly don't see any of them in the big cities anymore. When you confront one of these pseudo-men on on their utter lack of manly characteristics, they claim it's evolution. Our generation moving away from the 1950s mentality of what it is to be a man. It's great we've grown out of that era and thrown away racism and sexism. But when did we throw away our balls? Read the article, throw away your trendy fashion, and pick up a skill that is useful in life (note: rock band is not a useful skill).

"Someone will have to die, though: the metrosexual. The imminent demise of this benighted species - the term was coined by Mark Simpson in The Independent as long ago as 1994 - has been forecast for some time. Earlier this year, the American columnist Kathleen Parker published a hand-wringing book, Save the Males: Why Men Matter, Why Women Should Care , arguing that feminism has neutered men, depriving us of our protective role in society."
