It's a $#%@&! conspiracy....10 seconds after McCain left the stage, the power went out here.

Either that, or rodents. My wife does community relations for a power company and has to deal with the press on power outages. Often they are caused by squirrels causing short circuits in substations and frying themselves. Though if the power came back in 20 minutes, maybe not. The last outage I heard about knocked out power to 6000 customers and lasted five hours. Goddamn squirrel.

I have to say that I am thrilled with tonight's result. I really hope this is a signal of the change Larry wrote of above.

Quite moving, actuallyI thought that McCain's concession speech was one of the better examples of the genre that I can recall, and also arguably the best speech that I've heard him give during this campaign.

Yes, this was an historic election, for any number of reasons, but I was moved to tears seeing the reaction in Kenya. Yes, this election has massive signficance for this country, but it will also reverberate around the world in ways that we have yet to fully comprehend.

Awwww, I'd give you a big hug if I was in Lafayatte tonight.

I'm drinking Champagne Michel Arnould Rose Grand Cru right now, and it tastes fucking awesome. Even if this bottle ended up being drunk in wallowing despair, rather than celebration, it would still bring me hope.

Here, Here! L'chaim!

CarharttsCan I say how pissed I am to have Carhartts identified as the true badge of American identity? Anyone who has been mushroom hunting with me in the California coastal mountains knows I have Carhartts of my own. Anyone who has walked lower Manhattan with hipster French vignerons with pockets full of overvalued euros knows that nothing could be more French than Carhartts. Cognitive dissonance.

I hunt in Carhartts. Problem is, Bwood is pretty quick, so he tends to dodge the shots.

FWIW, I thought McCain manned up and gave a solid speech. I especially liked when he told all the rednecks from fly-over states to SHUT THE FUCK UP. No one with any education gives a shit. Fuck your sister when dinosaurs roamed the land.

I'm sorry for all you fly-over people, but the "real America" won. The America that creates jobs from which you toothless morons absorb taxes to have your trailer-park kids to smoke meth and vote Republican.

I'm so glad I got that out. Seriously, we are one America going forward. I just had to say it.

HELL YES!!!!

But seriously, I thought McCain had his proudest moment of the whole campaign. He should have kicked that redneck bitch in the teeth though.

I hate rednecks. They don't hunt right.

If he had wandered down into the crowd and decked a couple of dead-end "bitters" I might have changed my vote. Well, maybe not. But I would have sent him a bottle of Allemand.

But what really scares me is what happens when you rile up the truly ignorant.

We'll send them all to Iraq with a bunch of meth. (They like meth.)

Bet they won't be so "patriotic" then.

Look up the *** *********** you redneck bitches. It's my country, you only get to collect welfare. Sorry you dropped out of high school.

Why am I so angry? It makes me feel bad about myself. I miss therapy.
 
I think the New Jim is the Jim of Wrath, which is to say the Old Testament Jim.

I think he's out in CA making syrah.

Well, with a bit of wood.
