kv0925My Fellow Americans and Citizens Of The World: Today is a long-awaited and hotly-contested Election Day here in the US of A, and I stand (well, sit) before you today to make my own final campaign promise.
I have, naturally, made no secret about who I hope carries the day and becomes our next President and Commander-In-Chief. I've elucidated the reasons why I chose to vote the way I did, and I am thankful that today's predictions look the way they do. All that said, if history has taught us anything it's that there's no such thing as a sure thing, and anything can happen when the tallies come in. My promise to you is simple: no matter which candidate graces tomorrow's headlines, I will say nothing about it. No griping and shenanigans-calling if my man loses, no gloating and nanny-nanny-boo-booing if he wins. There's a lot at stake in this election, and a lot of opinions (which, as we know, are akin to certain orifices on the human body) on how to fix the several messes in which we find ourselves. Whoever wins will have more than a few monumental tasks ahead of him. Given that, while certainly a page needs to be turned here, it is not a Democratic or a Republican page, but an American one. We are, as a country, in some dire straits (one of my favorite bands, by the way), and the next months and years will be no time for finger-pointing or character assassination. Whoever comes out on top needs our respect and support, and our collective force of will to persevere and make decisions to move us in different and better directions. Let us hope.
And that, as Forrest Gump said, is all I have to say about that.
