No no, my hostess is not at all conservative. She's very liberal, but when I said I was encouraged she went OFF on this whole tirade about how this won't change anything because only intellectuals watch the Daily Show and so all the idiots who watch Mad Money won't even see this, much less be convinced of anything, and how the same intellectuals think Obama is gonna change the world and it just won't happen overnight like everyone thinks and on and on and on... I was really surprised. All I was trying to say was that I was encouraged, but I accidentally hit some trigger in her that made her jump into "people get too optimistic sometimes" mode. She and I talked about it this morning and everything's fine now.

Ah, I get it. This shitstorm is triggering a lot of pessimism, and understandably so.
