Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hee hee. The notBrian guy on NBC just said "razor tight" and thanks to Colbert last night I am cracking up.

I think it should be a drinking game. Butchered metaphor? DRINK!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

According to MSNBC, Obama has won WI. Their graphic shows that he has won 46% / 53%. No, I do not have those numbers reversed...election calls confuse me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Pennsylvania for Obama! Booyah.

Pennsylvania votes [1] David Axelrod's moustache!

Ok, there's my personal connection to the race. Onya, PA.

Bah. My old county (Montgomery) hasn't even started reporting yet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Princeton Election Consortium sez:

9:34pm. CBS: New Hampshire called for Obama. Erm, election’s probably over. And unskewers are full of it.

Ok, NOW it's official, Elizabeth Warren has won! Rachel Maddow said so.

First swing state! (No, I don't think PA or WI were swing states.) Pollster is calling NH for Obama!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

ABC's coverage bites. They haven't put up Wisconsin for Obama yet, and haven't even mentioned Warren.
