Senate confirms: Obama is 44th president
I had to post a link here to the Chicago Tribune:

For those who don't want to read the link; the Senate confirmed the Electorial College Vote.
All you yahoo cooks and nut jobs can go away now. It's locked down, baby!
Oh, and in case you're one of those "Obama's not a citizen" whackos:
"Also on Thursday, Supreme Court Justice David Souter rejected an emergency plea to prevent Congress from certifying the electoral vote. It was the latest of at least 8 appeals to the court in recent months — all quickly dismissed — asserting that Obama is ineligible to be president because he is not a "natural-born citizen" as the Constitution requires.
Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961 to an American mother and a Kenyan father. Internet-fueled theories (emphasis mine; there's never been anything BUT these ridiculous theories) contend either that Obama's birth certificate is a fake or he is ineligible because he had dual nationality when he was born. Hawaii officials have said the birth certificate is authentic." (Chicago Tribune)
I hated to interrupt the most recent installment of my current series, but this is news, too!
Can't wait for the inauguration.
