Alex describes exactly how I felt yesterday [and still feel now]. I couldn't have said it better. Problem with "America voted for another 4 years, then they deserve him for another 4 years" is that we have to suffer it for another 4 years too... As to speak with the Votemaster:

Well, it's all over. The people have spoken. Winston Churchill once said: "In a Democracy, people get the kind of government they deserve." So be it.

That was a lousy way to wake up yesterday. And before that, the tragic murder on Theo van Gogh. And yesterday evening a more personal bad news phonecall [more on that later]. Life officially sucks.
