the daily show....

ok, so last night, at our annual election party (20 years and going strong...) we bored of watching dan rather try to stretch to cover the slowness of the results....and switched over to the daily show with jon stewart......he was just introducing his 'election' coverage team....which included a guy who reads maps........he had a topo map and a treasure map......and a commentator who vowed he would wait until each state results were 100% before calling the winner.....and thus had prepared for the long haul by wearing pajamas and slippers......and disclosing that he was willing to forgoe seeing the developmental years of his children to bring us accurate election coverage....no matter how long it takes......there were also folks doing 'exit' polls in boston and d.c......the boston lady tired of talking to people outside polling places, so she moved on to other exits......people leaving public restrooms, porn outlets, atms, beauty parlors........it was a comic relief......of course....the questions she asked are unprintable.......and i was impressed that these questions could leave her mouth without her cracking a smile.......she was deadpan serious.......ah well........the beer and hot sausage dip (traditional fare) were (was?) good........and it is comforting under the circumstances to condole with fellow liberals.....although there are actually those in our little clan who are farther left than me......wow.............
