I invoke the Brando Corollary to Welles's First Law of Conservation of Pie: Living legends are allowed to have seconds. And thirds, should they deem it necessary. They've earned it.
 
I hid under my blankets all day, fearful to hear about rednecks with good aim.

My sister in law, who resides in Utah, told me that people at her work were remarking this morning that we need to watch Obama because "Hitler was a good orator as well."
 
I will not allow trembling ninnyhammer Bostonians or historically clueless Utah residents dampen my spirits on this fine day.
 
Unfortunately it has been said before in some of the more extreme right wing parts of the internet, but I was shocked that it had passed into the mainstream (granted Utah).

Edit: I'm with Chris. What is everyone drinking tonight?
 
I was so concerned about those fine kids in the high school band from someplace in Hawaii. Did we learn how many of them survived?

That was the Punahou band! Go Buffanblu!

No, they all died.

Yeah, those are the people that scare me. To Hell with fashion, I would be much happier if Obama wore a suit of armor for public appearances.

Every awful and crazy thing within the scope of human imagination has been said somewhere on the internet. I begin to suspect that the internet, like Madonna, just likes to shock. And should be taken just as seriously.

I'm braising some short ribs, and as soon as Dr. Lisa returns from healing the sick and curing the afflicted, we're opening up an Edmunds St. John '05 Parmalee-Hill Syrah, toasting, and chowing down.

Still feeling the effects of Mr. Parrott's delicious celebratory cocktail mixology last night, so I'm drinking water and tea.

Actually, I shouldn't blame Mr. Parrott for my aches and pains. I should instead blame my mother who arrived at my house at 5am in time to wake me up and lead the parade towards the Mall. But I don't really blame her either.

I could also blame those several glasses of delightful Raymond Boulard non-dosage champagne at the end of last night. Probably was a few glasses too many. But who's counting.

I too was very relieved not to see a bullet screaming across the images.
 
I also wondered if today all Disorderists were off packing the Mall or just giddy with possibility and unable to navigate teh Interweb. We finished off a bottle of '06 Roilette Fleurie as we caught the replay of his speech on Lehrer's Newshour. Now, I'm back to overseeing the production of a confit de canard.
