What's shocking for me (and it's shallow as hell), but this is the first president I've had that is younger than me. I think I need to go lie down.
You just had to bring that up.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

I'm getting the pig!
I think it has sunk in for me that Obama is the new President-Elect... I'm having more trouble truly believing that the attack ads are OVER. Woot!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
CNN reports that the exit polls are against Prop 8 52 to 48. Good, but too close for comfort when you only have exit polls to go on. But I will note that the precincts that have so far reported in California have a distinct conservative lean. When more results come in from LA and SF, I still feel cautiously optimistic.

I'm almost afraid to go to sleep tonight. What if I wake up to find Bobby in the shower?

BBC News has the quotes and reaction shots I wanted.
Go, Britain.

While I think of it, much as I love the Virginia county names, I would like to profess my admiration for Montana's Beaverhead County.

The answer, surely Shrift, would be to enjoy yourself.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

NOOOOOOO!!!! Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not a dream. Not.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So damn happy. And I was glad McCain had an incredibly classy concession speech - the man's going out of this with some dignity at least.
My biggest problem - I wish they had cut the John Williams-esque musical crap at some point and played something with a little groove. I know why they went the way they did, but I still have wistful memories of '92 and "Don't Stop Thinkin' About Tomorrow". And I'd love to have heard an Obama equivalent to that.

WOW Fox was just giving Nader Hell for Uncle Tom comments about Obama. This is the second time I have seen this Fox guy call people out for bigoty stuff. I may have to give him a "good job" when I see him in the lobby.
