If you're bitter over the election, you probably should skip this.

[shirenomad]

There was a man from Massachusetts named John, and he ran for president. He campaigned with all he had, and every night before he went to sleep he would pray, "Lord, grant us strength, grant us victory, for it is time for change." For months and months he campaigned and he prayed, and he had confidence that he would indeed see victory.

But when the time came, he was defeated by the incumbent. Depressed, that night he prayed, "Lord, I thought our cause was just. Did I somehow disappoint you?"

And God responded, "John, your cause was indeed just. In addition, people across the nation were praying the same prayer you were, and you have all been faithful, even through hardship. I have granted strength and victory."

And John said, "Lord, I do not understand. You gave victory to George."

And God responded, "Wait, you were talking about the Red Sox, right?"

Holy crap. I have just read through 80+ friends list entries, all of them different shades of gloom about the election.

This post *completely* made my day.

Bitter...

I'm bitter. Bitter, like rich dark chocolate made from pandas.

I like the joke.
