So, Doug—cheese or pepperoni?
Well, it looks like we’re in for another four years of living in “Amurrica.” I realized last night when I got home that I had been wearing my British-flag socks all day. Four years ago, I said that if Bush were elected president, I would move back to England. Perhaps I should take the British-flag-sock-wearing as a sign and actually follow through on my promise this time around. Then again, since Blair is now best buddies with Captain Amurrica, I doubt I’d even notice the difference. (Politically speaking, that is. The accents would probably clue me in otherwise.)
Last night was agony indeed, but it was all worth it for the magnificent return of the famous Tim Russert white board. I was just sad Gusto wasn’t around to take a drink with me every time he whipped it out.
Meanwhile, what was up with NBC repurposing Rockefeller Center as “Democracy Plaza”? Whatever, NBC. Also, you’d think after all the problems and embarrassments of 2000 that came from calling states too early and then having to switch them around, NBC would want to be a bit more subtle than creating some huge map with heavy moving pieces in the middle of an ice rink. But I guess not.
Ha!
Moving away from the election, but staying in the vein of network silliness, I had to call someone at CBS a little while ago, and when I was put on hold, the first thing I heard was a commercial for ABC's Live With Regis and Kelly, which was promoting guests from popular shows on NBC (Matt LeBlanc) and Fox (Mischa Barton). This struck me as rather amusing.
