Trust Neil Gaiman to give me back my perspective on American politics.
I've been fairly depressed all day, thanks to the election results (majority rule sounds just fine until you're being ruled by someone diametrically opposed to practically everything you believe in, who believes a 2% majority is an absolute mandate from the people-- never mind that it means 49% of his constituents hate his guts). I was catching up on a long hiatus from Neil's online journal, because Neil is wonderful and thoughtful and frequently makes me happy. And then, I saw it. This delicious little gem, posted, appropriately enough, on Halloween:
Neil, you have restored my faith in the ephemeral ridiculousness of American politics. Thank you.
