Unless you live under a rock (or a cave, but even that guy probably knows), you heard that Barrack Obama is the next President of the United States. And yes, I dressed up like a dork to show my support to our friendly neighbours to the south (and family in my case).

You couldn't miss the coverage of the election on TV because it was everywhere...for the last year! But last night the biggest election extravaganza was by far put on by CNN. They went all out with touchscreen stats galore, blabbering experts from all facets and an all-out red, white and blue decorated set. But the best had to be the hologram technology they used! The hologram of Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas was awesome, straight outta Star Trek (although the video here misses his cool arm waving exit). They also had a hologram of the US Senate too which just emerged from a table. Very cool, but it helps you make start to understand why the US is in such financial shambles maybe?

Okay, maybe it's not the CNN hologram, but I'm sure that set wasn't cheap, nor were the overall campaigns and election itself. I mean Canada's election cost taxpayers $300 million and we're the little guy (not to mention that our election was worthless as it didn't change much). Some reports say this is the most expensive in US history topping $5.3 billion! But I'll leave my political comments out of this since this is supposed to be a fun blog about my knee and its shenanigans :-)

On that note, I just wanted to mention that I'm not sure if you noticed in the photo of me wearing the USA hockey jersey, redneck cowboy hat and holding a red, white and blue bowl of popcorn, that my knee bears a strange resemblance to James Carville. All it needs is the glasses!
