   “As of yesterday votes had not been totaled in, I believe, North Carolina. Tuesday night, within 5 minutes of the polls closing on the west coast, they’re calling California and the rest for Obama. Considering its size and population, how the heck does that work? I’m ecstatic about the result, but it sure sounds funny.”

   Ed, Et Alii:

   Since Runar hasn’t yet responded, I’ll attempt to elucidate:

   According to Article II of the Constitution of the United States, and Title III of the United States Code, the President of the United States is elected by the Electoral College, not by the popular vote.

   Electoral votes were counted yesterday, early on, and that’s why John McCain went ahead and made his concession speech, even though the popular votes were still being counted.

   Yes, it’s very possible (and historically, has happened) that a presidential candidate can win the popular vote, but lose the electoral vote.

   Thank you.

   You forgot to begin your message with “Greetings:”.

   On the other hand, I do nap on the sofa, I do include the word, “nought”, in my vocabulary, and I understood today’s joke.

   But, yesterday’s joke went over my head.

   When a joke has to be explained, it just kills the humor, don’t you think?

   Thank you.

   I’m glad you mentioned “MONOPOLY”.

   Otherwise, I wouldn’t have understood what was so funny.

   Thank you.

   Oh, I reckon I was busy MAKING United States history, lying behind some sandbags firing an M-60 machine gun at North Vietnamese soldiers, as mortar rounds exploded and 122mm rockets whined overhead.

   But, what do I know?

   I was just another lonely G.I., trying desperately to stay alive for one more day.

   Yes, I’m actually mentioned in a couple of history books.

   How OLD are you?

   I’m guessing you’re a lot younger than I am.

   If so, the America I grew up in was a whole lot different than the America you live in.

   You have no idea what’s been lost, because you’ve never known anything other than our contemporary environment.

   Thank you.

   “which religion incorporates the constitution of the United States in its faith?”

   ladiv, et alii:

   Members of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints (i.e., the “Mormon” church) believe the Constitution of the United States was inspired by God and written by men whom God had raised up for that very purpose.

   That belief is a basic principle in our Articles of Faith.

   Latter-day Saints also believe that the United States of America is the “Promised Land”, and that Jesus Christ is the God of this land.

   For more information, talk to your “Mormon” neighbor or co-worker.

   Thank you.

   But, what was the joke?

   Greetings:

   Why be proud?

   Proud of what?

   Blacks were united in voting for Barack Hussein Obama, because of his race and his anti-Americanism.

   Whites were divided against each other, with some voting for John McCain, who is also anti-American, some voting for Barack Hussein Obama because of a misplaced sense of guilt, and other Whites voting for third party candidates, because they were so disgusted with the Republicans acting like Democrats.

   Black Panthers in Philadelphia openly intimidated voters, and got away with it, thanks to the prevailing racial double standard and Marxist-inspired “political correctness”.

   So, what do we have to be so proud of?

   Barack Hussein Obama has already stated clearly what he thinks of the Constitution of the United States.

   Maybe others think the Constitution is outdated, but I still believe in it, for it’s a basic part of my religious faith.

   Thank you.

   Greetings:

   The problem with today’s installment of this comic strip is that, if you don’t go to bars or drink alcoholic beverages, you won’t understand the joke.

   I don’t go to bars, I don’t drink alcoholic beverages, and I didn’t comprehend the alleged humor portrayed in this comic strip.

   Thank you.

    Ew! I hate it when a professional paid cartoonist can’t correctly spell a simple English word!
