It's official: Rand Paul is my new Tea Party overlord, Russ Feingold is no longer a senator but somehow David Vitter is still a governor, and John Boehner will probably make history as our first orange Speaker of the House. Oh, it hurts (even though we all saw it coming).
So I bought a 35mm f/1.8 prime lens! And we made Rick Bayless's Texas Sheet Cake, which I do realize is named after a state that just reelected Rick Perry, but we had all the ingredients on hand and it sounded like the most delicious thing in which to drown our sorrows at 1:00 in the morning.
I sort of take solace in the fact that these kinds of things always spin the other way pretty fast—maybe tonight's events will give a boost to Obama's reelection bid in 2012? And did John Kerry just describe Harry Reid as being Dracula AND Lazarus in his press release? And how is it that I always find myself defending/cheering on Democrats with whom I'm not terribly enthused? Oh, right—because it could be worse.

Great post, I was looking forward to a political update from you.
I am impressed you follow things so closely, I probably should have called you prior to casting my uneducated vote.
