Good Morning, Blogistan!

Ha! I've been away from Internet access for the past three days so missed the trench fighting, but don't think I'm not going to get in my full Llama Yips! on this one.

First off, big, huge congrats and thanks to Steve-O for apparently pulling a three-day blogging bender and, er, posting everyone else under the table. Well done, indeed.

Second, a note to the O.F. - I told you.

Next, a big Nelson Muntz HA-ha! goes to our old pal Axis Sully. If bleeding persists, you might want to consult your doctor, dude.

Fourth, Senator Daschle? Buh-bye.

Fifth, and I don't think I'm being naive about this, I'd actually like to thank J. Francois for what was really a graceful concession speech yesterday. It was the right thing to do and he did it with class.

Sixth, I believe it's time for us Llamas to start a Democratic Party Fratricide Watch item. Believe me, the bloodletting is not going to be pretty.

Seventh, I flew back to Dee-Cee last night on a plane full of very happy GOPers coming home from their field work. But the woman sitting next to me kept up a continuous monologue with herself in which I distinctly caught the words "Dibold" "electronic voting" "Rove" and "fraud" many, many times. Coincidentally, I heard exactly the same thing on some moonbat radio call in show yesterday morning. Harking back to Item Six above, if the Donks have the least shred of sense, they will start purging these folks from their party right now.

Finally, a colleague on my trip, a very very social liberal, was wailing to me about all the marriage protection referendums that had passed and that were likely the motivation of many Evangelicals to vote. Getting to point out to her that none of this would have happened but for the Libs in Massachusetts and the courts' gay marriage rulings there? Priceless.

Yes, life is sweet today.
