The Beltway wonders how an Obama administration will set the tone:
So Washington is left to imagine what cultural tone the Obamas will set. Will Bruce Springsteen perform at the inaugural — or maybe Yo-Yo Ma? Will Mr. Obama make frequent use of the presidential box at the Kennedy Center? (Laura Bush often went, accompanied by friends, while her husband stayed home.) Or will the Obamas, whose idea of fun is playing board games with their daughters, be the type to stay in at night, helping the kids with their homework? Will Hollywood stars take up residence in the Lincoln Bedroom, the way they did during the Clinton years?
“He’s a cool cat,” said Christopher Buckley, the political humorist, “and I think he’s going to bring cool catness back, if it ever existed at the White House.”

I take credit for that moniker.
cuz he screamed a lot, looked like a lobster, and was the Man From Hope.

Further funnies:
McCain’s presidential bid has ended, but the fireworks from inside his former campaign continue to make news: evidence is mounting that senior adviser Randy Scheunemann wasn’t fired, as several internal sources had suggested, but the target of a deliberate whispering campaign....Scheunemann, who was widely viewed as a supporter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, admitted people were trying to push him out of the campaign. But he said that Goldfarb, his ally, was incorrect when he told CNN that Scheunemann’s blackberry had been taken away — although he does admit that his e-mail account had been “temporarily” cut off.Michael Goldfarb, a McCain press aide and Scheunemann ally, said that senior McCain aides were mad at Scheunemann — and wanted to fire him — but he insisted they stopped short of that, and instead simply turned off his campaign communication.Goldfarb said Scheunemann was in the office on Saturday. He was, however, noticeably missing on election night when top aides to John McCain and Sarah Palin gathered in Phoenix, Arizona.

good lord. dear red state, the voters noticed that republicans fucked up the country when they were given power to run it. that is the problem. frankly the GOP bloodbath should've been worse. dems underperformed in a number of down ballot races, no one has run the numbers yet AFAIK, but some of the new voters obama brought in, only voted for obama & no one else on the ballot. this happened during the primaries as well.

kristol is a goddamned idiot and you can take that to the bank. there is not a single thing he has ever said that panned out. if i walked indoors from a rainstorm covered in wet and shivering, and bill kristol was there, and then said, "what a terrible rainstorm we are having," i'd question as to whether or not it was actually raining outside. that is how terrible this person's ability to see things that exist is.
