Bush has been re-elected.

We should be happy and celebrate, without taunting, rash behavior, retaliation or anything other than thankfulness to God for our victory.  Our good acts will, in addition to balming wounds, perhaps cause people to wave off litigation.  Let’s be graceful, and hope and pray that Mr.Kerry concedes with grace was well.
