Jason Henderson nails it


Hey Peggy Noonan: Savor - JASON HENDERSON - Open Salon: "Let us get our heads around the size and scope of what happened Tuesday. Barack Obama, soon to be the 44th president of the United States, the first president born outside the continental United States, has won a landslide victory. He has done so with a message of hope and aspiration. Resoundingly he has done so.

The Democrats have defeated not only John McCain, but Elizabeth Dole in North Carolina, as well as Republican Senators in (as of this writing) New Mexico, Virginia, and New Hampshire. In the House, there is not a single Republican congressman left in all of New England. This is huge.

Savor."


Check out the rest. It's a great read.

Balloon Juice on Mortality

Balloon Juice � Blog Archive � It Is All Too God Damned Short:

In a post on John Cole's blog on the sad passing of right wing commentator Dean Barnett, Cole wrote


Not a day passes when I do no ponder my own mortality, and not a day passes without me wondering how I will continue without my parents and the people who mean everything to me. A very selfish part of me hopes that I die before them.


To wit Just Some F@ckhead replied:

"No one gets out alive so there’s no need to obsess over it every day. Worry about two things: that you leave the world a better place than you found it and that you don’t accidentally leave any embarassing porn on your computer."


It's clean underwear in the ambulance for the Internet.

Firedoglake -- Kathleen Parker Shocked To Find Her Party’s Full Of “Vicious”, “Threatening”, Delusional Wingnuts

What gets me is that someone with a column by that bastion of the librul me-dee-uh the Washington Post has been so in lock step with Wingnut talking points that she just now "realizes" this.
