Election

So Obama has won. This was certainly the decision that I had hoped for, but I do have one tiny reservation.

Maybe it's because I'm British, maybe it's because I'm turning into a bitter old cynic, but seeing all those millions of people, world-wide, filled with hope for the future makes me think one thing... it's about now when everything turns to shit and your high hopes give you all that much further to fall.

I for one am bracing for a nuclear winter.
