I'm reading rumors that Obama may be asking Rahm Emanuel to be his Chief of Staff, and that Josh Lyman, from The West Wing was based on Emanuel. Which kind of makes me want to borrow all of my friend's West Wing dvds and settle in for a rewatch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought Emanuel was confirmed. He seems like a good choice -- a real DC guy, from the Clinton administration, out of the House. I did not know that about Josh Lyman!

“Not dead yet!”
He did ask Emanuel, that was being reported this morning. Emanuel hasn't confirmed and there were no announcements planned for Wednesday, so it could be tomorrow before we know for sure, but the indicators are that Emanuel's leaning towards taking the position.

I read the Lyman thing on lj and wikipedia. So, not peer-reviewed publications, but if true I think it's pretty nifty.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If this is a correct description of Emanuel: [link] he seems a lot more like Jack Bauer than Josh Lyman.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
When he acknowledged that this victory belongs to the hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Grant Park, someone else chimed in: "You all get puppies."
I love this! Partly because Oprah was in Grant Park last night and I hear it in her voice saying "EVERYBODY GETS A PUPPY!"

I am worried that all the analyses about what happens now that Prop 8 has passed are moot. But damnit, I want the thing challenged! I just don't want to get my hopes up about what might happen next.
Also? Frances has something she'd like me to say: I no nicky. I lov Sophie.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Awww. Frances!
I hear it in her voice saying "EVERYBODY GETS A PUPPY!"
Now I am hearing it in The Ninth Doctor's voice... like "Just this once! Everybody gets a puppy!"

Now tagless for your comfort.
The potato leek soup I made for dinner is of the yum! I'm also baking a cake to celebrate the shiny, new president-elect.
