Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

So no one on Team Romney reads Nate Silver, huh?

Mitt Romney had planned to celebrate his election as the nation’s 45th president with an eight-minute fireworks display over Boston Harbor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, now I'm sad!

....or not.

I am super excited to have won Victor's EC bet.

OK, what I need to do is set up my wi-fi, so I can get on my work computer. Apparently my internet now is faster than my wireless modem, so I haven't set it up in the new place yet.

I love how we always go through these rounds of people posting so they can find out their number.

And that there are still stories about how shocked, shocked! the Romney campaign is that they lost. I'm still enjoying those.

(I'm number 6.)

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

Well, that article shows there were some fairly good reasons for them to believe they were gonna win. But then those reasons turned out not to be true.

I'm always amused by the cyclical "What number am I!" discoveries.

....maybe I'll have second breakfast before I actually start working. FWIW, I've done at least as much so far as I would have done in the actual office.

Boehner and McConnell refused to take the President's call on Election Night.

Uh, are you allowed to do that? I don't think President Bartlett would let them do that.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I looked through that site of Romney's supporters and campaign workers mourning and I do feel sorry for them. I think they chose wrongly, but my heart goes out to them for being so sad and distraught. And I heard about the staff credit cards being cut off - that's just tacky. Also petty and mean; I'm assuming no one thought through what it was going to mean for people trying to get home afterwards - hope no one needed to take a plane home from the campaign - but it seems of a whole with the inability to think through what something means to people who don't have a lot of money to fall back on. Or even enough cash on hand for a cab ride.
