I'd drifted off on the couch and woke up again to the sound of vidal's "the republican party isn't a party, it's a mindset. They like war".

Saw him talk about 8 years ago, he was old and tired then. Looks like he's enjoying his geriatric licence with Dimbleby.

Just watched this bit again. They were clearly booing Obama.

Yes, you're probably right. I don't remember an awful lot after 2am.

Thanks. Schama to ferguson: "You're such a trimmer!"

Watched last part of schama's American future last night. Really interesting stuff about the ethnic divisions beyond the familiar black/white, particularly the Chinese pogrom, which was mostly new to me.

He caught the mood in that interview there, tho the bit about America's original sin being "wiped out" last night might be a bit optimistic - amended, perhaps.

Anyone got any good links to bitter nutters moaning? I mean reactions from Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Michele Malkin etc I like reading that kind of stuff.

Sorry, read that last sentence as "everything is up for arabs". Those Foxy devils must be getting to me. ;)

Haha, more from The Onion:

WASHINGTON—In a press conference held this morning on the White House lawn, President Bush formally asked the assembled press corps and members of his own administration if, in light of today's election, he could stop being the president now. "So it's over, right? Can I stop being president now?" Bush said after striding to the podium in a Texas Rangers cap and flannel shirt, carrying a fully packed suitcase. "Let's just say I'm done as of now. Presidency over." When informed by Washington Post reporter David Broder that his presidency would continue through early January, Bush stared at him quizzically, sighed, and shuffled silently back into the White House.

good news for anyone fearful the Palin Show might be terminated after one season...


The Alaskan people, in their finite wisdom, are apparently set to re-elect Ted Stevens, despite the fact that he's older than Methusaleh and has just been convicted of taking bribes, the first sitting senator so nabbed since year.dot.

So, here's what happens - he goes back to Washington, Washington says "Fuck off, only non-convicted crooks are allowed in here." Rather than hold a by-election, responsibility for appointing his replacement falls on...the Governor of Alaska.
