In the Obama years, we're going to have to learn to do without little luxuries.
Luxuries like racism, self-centered greed, the exquisite pleasure of enjoying the suffering of others...

Americans do like their perverse pleasures, but when they feel the economic noose tightening, most of them seem to have enough sense to figure out which candidate is more likely to keep them breathing.

5. Compared to the luxuries we'd give up under a McPalin administration
such a eating, heating, and healthcare? I'll take the belt-tightening under the Obama leadership any day.
