    There’s something deliciously ironic about Obama’s pending presidency being declared an official disaster that I’m enjoying tremendously…

    …until I realize that all that means is that I’m going to be paying even more taxes.

    I kind of chuckled when other commenters said that as the inauguration draws closer that you’re flipping out more and more Jay Tea. Then I came in to this thread just to see if you would have already posted something that signaled an exponential rise in batshit crazy as Tuesday approaches.

    Lo and behold you were here with a non sequitur and a crazy look in your eye. Try and calm down a little, you’re making a fool of yourself.

    The Republican party has done a lot of damage to our country, but Obama’s the man to fix it.

    America’s back. Finally. Such a great feeling, even watching it from abroad.

    And Jay, somehow I get the feeling you don’t make over 250K/year working at Taco Bell. So your taxes will probably stay just the same.

    And btw Jay, what compels you to try and get “firsties” on every post at O-dub.com?

    I say this in all honesty — it might do you some good to step away from the computer a few days. We all understand that you’re the sorest of sore losers, but seriously, what do you plan to accomplish by trolling here during something that most Americans are genuinely enthused about? At best, you’re only going to raise your blood pressure and look like more of a complete jackass than you’re already taken to be.

    Jesus, Jay. Find a hobby that isn’t this website. I could have sworn you had your own at one point.

    Website, yes. Traffic, not so much.

    The train thing is kinda sweet. Old school.

    What I DON’T want to see: news articles about the condition of the White House offices or what the Bushies did on their way out the door.
