I have added The Rude Pundit
to the sidebar. A friend pointed me to his "The Five Stages of Grieving For George Bush's Re-Election" series which I found insightful and calming, albeit rude. I held off posting about it until he finished because I suspect some of you, like me, aren't feeling very patient right now and might not be in the mood to wait for his daily contribution.

Go atart with Stage 1 and scroll up. Meanwhile I'll walk my dog and try to coalesce some of my thoughts about the election and where we go from here.
