President Obama. I am so excited, and teary, and just plain HAPPY. If only my computer weren’t horking so I could post a screenshot of that awesome, awesome homepage where they finally called it.
Update 11/5: Looks like my vote wasn’t counted last night. Maybe Georgia will go blue after all, or at least maybe we [...]
Thinking how funny I must have looked this morning making my multiple trips back and forth from the car carrying giant Target bags full of cookies and then later settling them around my desk so I could take them down to Farah when she swung by to pick them up.
Wondering what tomorrow will be like, [...]
I know that one or two people who drop in here occasionally are fans of Sarah Palin, and I know I’ve made my opinion of her pretty clear. But I would like to know — why do people like her? What is it about her that makes you think she is a good vice presidential [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...When I read last week that Colin Powell was on the verge of endorsing a candidate for the presidency, I have to admit, I thought, pfft. Who cares. It’s so late in the game, and if he picks McCain, everybody’s going to say he just picked the Republican, and if he picks Obama, everybody’s going [...]

And as a result, while he might have come off as more knowledgeable and more informed than Palin, while he might have been more comfortable [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...Dear Sarah Palin,
I am not a fifteen year old boy. I am also not a twenty-five year old man, or a forty-year old man, or a sixty-two year old man, or a man of any kind. Please stop winking at me. Please stop using words like “ya” and dropping your g’s and generally behaving like [...]
I know it’s not John McCain’s campaign sending out the DVDs. But… it’s also not John McCain telling anyone to stop.
I know it’s not John McCain’s campaign piping a “chemical irritant” into a room full of children who were waiting for their mothers to finish their taraweeh prayer. But… it’s also not John McCain being [...]
Because seriously, I am in awe that everyone isn’t as floored by this as I am:
The James Fallows analysis is here.
