Just watch or skip to the last few seconds. Oh Saxby, once again you prove how wonderful a person you are!

Who gets to accuse limbless vietnam vets of lacking courage, despite getting out five times? OH I KNOW! SAXBY CHAMBLISS!

There will be blood!

This dude seems to think so.

Check out this NYTimes fun thingie! Live out your wild and sexy government fantasies, or take bets on how close you and your friends get to the actual picks!

How the hell could people pick the current incompetent boob Paulson over Buffett?

So, I dunno about you all…but I’m still fucking EXHAUSTED from Election Night. There was the good (OBAMA!), the bad & the ugly (PROP. 8, BOOOO!!!!), and even a few things in between (Michigan passed a medical marijuana law!). For me, it took on this bizarre quality of a Joss Whedon-penned drama. You know what I mean. There was the hero who we all knew would win, eventually; but we also knew that the “bad guys” were gonna fight hard and that it was going to be ugly. (as evidenced by prior, unrelenting, ugliness in the previous weeks and even, sadly, in McCain’s concession speech. stupid fucking racists…) So we were all trapped, just waiting. And let me tell you, for those of us on the east coast, waiting for the polls to close on the west coast was the WORST. WAIT. EVER. Sweet zombie jesus…

I think, however, one of the sweetest moments for me came the next day when I watched The Daily Show. They had a segment which featured video footage of people reacting to Obama’s election from different locations around the world. And as cynical as I am, I still got a little weepy when I saw just how fucking happy those people were. Yeah, I know, they’re thoroughly relieved that we elected Obama instead of another warmonger; but I can’t help but believe that they were also cheering for us–the American electorate. The rest of the world hasn’t written us off yet, they still think America has something good to give to the world–and that, THAT my friends, is a really good feeling. Plus, let’s face the facts, we’ve just elected our first nerd president. mwahahahaha…..

Thank you Telecom Mummy for your amazing and spot-on analysis of Election 2008!

PP: Whoah, I totally called Obama winning back in February! I am teh prophet.

Before you chow down on your glut of Election News here is some fun comics news, about the election!

To be specific, this story is about Gary Trudeau just calling the election (and everyon’e BS) and flat out making comics ahead of time (because that is how newpaper comics people work) that start with the premise that Obama wins!

Comic creator Garry Trudeau delivered a series of strips for next week’s papers showing his characters reacting to an Obama victory. But he offered no such option in the event of a comeback by John McCain, who’s trailing Obama in the polls.

Trudeau, who lives in New York, said he might have provided papers with a McCain option if the election were a toss-up. But, he said, at the time he drew the strip, poll analysts were giving McCain less than a 4 percent chance of winning.

“From a risk-assessment viewpoint, I felt comfortable with the odds,” Trudeau said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “The way I see it, if Obama wins, I’m in the flow and commenting on an extraordinary phenomenon.

“If he loses, there’ll be such a national uproar that a blown call in a comic strip won’t be much noticed. Besides, I’ll be the one with the egg on my face _ not the editors.”

Yeah, Barry’s gonna win, by the way. This isn’t exactly rocket science this time around. THANK GOD.

Disclaimer: I consider Will Farrell and Jim Carrey as belonging to that camp of really excellent comedians who sold out to earn $$$$$$ and, consequently, suck Satan’s dick* every time they get in front of a camera. Want proof? Go watch an early episode of In Living Color and then explain Jim Carrey’s film career. Ditto for Will Farrell. And frankly, add Robin Williams to the list. (sorry Robin, but you’re just going to have to live with the fact that you made RV.)

So I was shocked! and amazed! when I saw this video and didn’t vomit all over the keyboard:

Remember back in October of 2004 when Jon Stewart went on Crossfire? No? Well, here’s a little refresher:
