Heh. This is pretty funny. From a forthcoming Newsweek by way of Huffington Post:
-- The debates unnerved both candidates. When he was preparing for the Democratic primary debates, Obama was recorded saying, "I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me ... answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."
Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house.
I would pay cash money to see any candidate* say that on television. Seriously.
*Or President-Elect! YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!
The Gwynnie look is an interesting 'concept' best kept on the catwalk. Not so much in real life. It's got great geometry but terrible execution.
I have so much to do this week and I cannot seem to get started. Stoopid elections.

Is anyone else more than a little inordinately pleased that, while not having enough Senate wins to make it fillibuster-proof (and, man, would I have liked Mitch McConnell and Saxby Chambliss to have lost), we do have enough votes to tell Droopy Lieberman to piss off?
I feel like an actual cloud has lifted. It's weird; no one seems to care about the election very much here but I feel actually bouncy today.
I'm extremely disappointed by Prop 8 results, although, frankly, I really didn't think the "No on 8" campaign was very effective, so I can't say I'm surprised, especially given the money involved.

Someone is going to have a li'l change of heart in the next few weeks. You can bet on it.
