Briefly off the joke path here, I really can't believe Obama lost the state of Alabama. I mean, we did our part, but there were a lot of people here who, you would think, would have loved to see him as President. At least he won the overall election.

I'm a little late here, but Brooklyn was so full of joy on Election Night, it was amazing. Dancing and cheering in the streets, and a feeling of camaraderie everywhere. It was like the anti-9/11...
