a bit off topic, but...

Tonight, Stewart and Colbert covered the U.S. election. Near the end, Colbert made a comment (making fun of CNN's "hologram" correspondent) essentially trying to convince Colbert that "I'm a hologram!"

[livejournal.com profile] roadstergal, [livejournal.com profile] kahvi, did you see that? It made me think of you... Colbert really is Ace Rimmer to Stewart's Derek Custer!

Also, more of that crossover fic would be fun... just saying ;)

Also, I now no longer need to be ashamed of my country (America) for their choice of leader! Yay!

"Channel 27 has a hologram reading the news."
"Oh, groovy, funky Channel 27!"

*laugh* I read that and totally in my head saw Rimmer wiggle like he does when saying that.

I loved the hologram! I was quite amazed.

I haz ideas... But as I didn't see the coverage, I need to check some stuff first. :)

I considered strapping on my modly boots of doom and stomping this post, but you know what? I am just so fucking happy my country proved me wrong that I can't bring myself to care that this probably belongs in a personal journal. Rock on with your wacky fake-pundit AUs!

I'm hoping the rest of the planet doesn't think America is a joke anymore. I've had three friends all in different countries say the natives talk about how much of a joke America is. How sad is that? I'm just glad I don't have to listen or look at Bush anymore. (well in a few months!)

I was explaining how the electoral system works to a friend tonight, and the thought struck me that I no longer had to prepare a defense in case she accused me of being pro-Bush. I no longer have to assume that the person I am talking to will dislike me for liking America.

It made me grin like a maniac.
