I was standing on an icy sidewalk not far from a polling place, near the end of the evening shift of holding up signs for No on Proposition 8, when one of my fellow sign-holders told me Obama had taken Ohio and Pennsylvania. She told me that people were lining the streets of Chicago. I didn't start really believing it would happen until then.

Obama's speech hit just the right tone.

I'm completely buzzed.

I can't help but wonder whether the WWN is dying because it dumped its old formula of batshit crazy with nods to conservatives in favor of slightly less batshit, dorky puns/plays on words, and nods slightly more to the left.

I'll never forget the way they responded to 9/11 (am about to leave and so can't look up the link) -- they apparently discussed it among themselves and decided that the only way to respond to extremes in America was to go even further over the top. For that I salute them.

Off to track down a final copy somewhere.
