Firefly the Great

For what it’s worth, I spent my Election Night in Karazhan. We’ve been there a decent bit lately; with WotLK approaching, getting newbies into raiding seems more important than progression — although we’ve had a bit of that too. Anyway, it was a good distraction.

The beer also helped.

I turned on the TV in time to see Fox call Pennsylvania for Obama and after that there was very little to be done, really, except to see Shepard Smith staring cluelessly into the distance as Karl Rove talks.

It’s a bit like the Cubs’ postseason — after a great season, when it comes down to it, there we are, getting outplayed at every angle, and just like that it’s over; nothing to be done now but wait ’til next year and hope that Piniella has the wisdom to shore up our fundamentals into a World Series team.

The Republicans have to do the same thing — shore up a consistent, reliable opposition to the party that will control House, Senate & Presidency. Get away from folks like Bush and McCain who conservatives have to hold their nose and vote for and be the party it was meant to be. Act like a party that’s ready to lead, fer chrissakes.
