Moe-bama

posted by on November 4 at 17:14 PM

At 4:30, Moe bar was already standing room only, besides a few tables reserved for the “elitists.” There were huge cheers at 5pm when CNN did a round of projections—just projections, mind you—favoring Obama. At the elitist tables, one drinker, who’s spent the last three weeks in Bali trying to avoid the election coverage for a change, says that the Indonesians think Obama’s a muslim (Indonesia Bali is majority hindu, he says, and they don’t much care for the muslims), but they’re still super excited for him to become president. Neumos just opened next door; more news from there soon.

Is ANYODY in the neighborhood
watching it on FOX news?


I'm just so curious to see how they're going to spin this and it might even make it more satisfying. (but I'm still cautiously optimistic - optimistic because I'm watching network right now).
