    Giovanni, you've obviously had your satire bone removed. That Cindy piece is innocuous (but the video is hilarious) and the Onion has skewered John and even Obama worse.

    I was commenting on the nature of the satire, not on how biting or funny it was. And I'd respectfully stick to my guns, and reiterate that you're not going to see an Obama version of the Palin poster, except I'm going to switch cultural critic mode off now and, you know, chill the fuck out for a change. It's one of those days.

    Craig's G&T plan for instance sounds great.

    There was a wee worldwide vox pop on CNN last now, three people from three countries in three continents. In Italy they chose to interview a guy on the street who happened to be dressed as a Roman Centurion, and of course he said it would be McCain because he's the only "real American". Thanks a bunch, guys. What, pizza chef Luigi wasn't available?

    Palin after voting ...

    W. T. F. ?

    McCain is rallying in Colorado and New Mexico. Palin won't even tell people whom she voted for.

    Weirdness.

    Yes, Hadyn, Daily Show and Colbert report coverage tonight on C4, 10.30 to 11.30. Here's hoping that leads to a flood of calls to the station to buy the Colbert Report too.

    Magical thinking may be at an all time high today.

    Most excellent. Most excellent indeed.

    But here's a really frightening prospect: Palin is already being described as the "presumptive Republican nominee" for 2012.

    It's not going to happen, Craig, rest easy. It's going to be a white guy.

    Gotta love this Palin poster

    Makes you think about identity and gender politics, though, natch? Were Obama a Republican and as despicable as Palin, could you imagine such a poster? I don't think so.

    It reminded me of this little number on Cindy McCain.

    Screw that - Tim Wilson, the Magritte of Electoral Math, is much more entertaining.

    Today is the day America elects its first black President. Today is also the day when Craig gets to four thousand. And it couldn't have happened to two nicer guys. Who's with me?

    History is now, friends.

    Batman is a Republican?

    Mmmh... yes. Okay, look, I've been working for the past sixteen hours. Can we all pretend I wrote something witty here? And Emma, LOL.

    (See, I'm reduced to LOLs. Somebody send help).

    in fact, i'll go out on a limb right now and say that if a Republican takes the White House in 2012, it'll be someone we've yet to hear of...

    Nothing short of Batman, I would think.
