Finally registering...

...that the election's over. I can go hours without my Keith Olbermann/Rachel Maddow fix on MSNBC these days. Must be like a runner's high, endorphins kicked in hard about June, finally simmering down.

I've never watched Billo the Clown, and I've developed a pronounced distaste for Lou Dobbs (it's pronounced "Gid-dowdda-heah-ya-racebaitin-demogog-ya"). Still watch Chris Matthews now and then, but he likes to set up little brawls or broohas or dialectics or something, and I'm not a big fan of that stuff. Colin Powell is, maybe. Waddeva.

I like my liberal media biases frank and up front.

Other signs that the election's over include, Sarah Palin lookin' good, Hillary Clinton lookin' gag me with a wooden spoon (some thing's don't change, at least), and John McCain looking vaguely rational again. I do kind of nachurly lean toward the moderate left edge of the Republican party, prob'ly makes me a bluedog democrat so long as that is no invitation for the Klan to come roosting back (or those wink-wink-nudge-nudge South Carolina "NRA members" who escort folks to the polls on Election Day, oh so helpfully, neither).
