Another Broken Obama Promise
Think back to November 4, 2008. Recall the exultant joy of the moment. Dancing, singing, weeping masses of humanity crammed into every public space. Cars honking the beat to the chants of marching celebrants. Retiring for the evening, emotionally exhausted but so happy.

Thanks for the memory! Yes, we DID!
BTW, If a snowstorm or a blackout do not have any effect on birthrates, noting Obama did not either is very predictable, no?

But the real clue statistic will be Condom sales--I understand they rose by 175% the next day. Final tallies remain to be tabulated. The latex market bubble rose (whoops--is that a double entendre? I hope so) to a new peak.
