How the US elections have affected me

Before I begin, I have to tell you I didn't vote, ofcourse the point is I cannot vote since I am not a citizen, but I have to say this was one of the most lively elections ever with Sarah'yam' Palin and Barack 'muthu rack' Obama. (Non-tamil folks - my apologies).

It's amazing how much all those hours of flipping between CNN (biased) to Fox (fair and balanced) has influenced my life and the scary thing is, it's almost involuntary these days:
1) When I find my wife winning in an argument I become Bill O'Reilly-isque and go 'But...but...I gotta go, no...I gotta go'
2) Previous I used to set forth rules with her but now I listen to what she says with no 'pre-conditions'
3) I got upset the other day when Preetha came back home with a haircut that looked like Nancy Pelocsi. I was 'palinly' upset.
4) I've stopped pronouncing Pakisthan as 'Paekeestaen'
5) I think Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have gotten lame after the elections.
6) Hit up some of my old enemies since its not true that the notion that not talking to them is punishing them.
7) In my recent trip to India I asked 'Babu the Plumber' and 'Annamma the Spinach seller' if they were planning on running for a political position
8) Asked my Gujarati friend if his proximity to Pakisthan gave him an advantage or if he was palling around with them.

While I was immersed in US politics Dhoni was elected captain, Kumble and Ganguly retired and Suriya developed a 6 pack.
