Phew! I made it back to New York City, after four days of Red State-ing it. Well, my alma mater is deep in the heart of Texas, so what can you do? I mean, I bought the plane ticket well before the voter fraud and exit poll fiasco that resulted in four more years of this bullshit fair election. (Does anyone else besides me think that it's ironic that Fearless Leader--I decided that it's degrading the letter W to be his monogram, so I'm calling him Fearless Leader, in all its glorious sarcastitude, from now on, ok?--thinks he has a "mandate" but if you set him up on a real man date, well, he'd be running the other way as fast as his spindly legs could carry him.)
Anyhow, I got a bit of knitting done in Texas. Fittingly, I knit red yarn. I worked a few rows of the notoriously slow-growing SSS. I promise, I'll finish it one of these days. It is really lovely and will be wonderful to wear. I just have to knit the damn thing first...
And now, it's bedtime. See you all soon.
Oh, and thanks for your kind comments about the Poncho! I understand now why nobody noticed it the first day around. And to answer a couple of questions and concerns from said comments:
Em: Cafe Gray, in the Time Warner Center.
May: I was in Texas...
Drew: I grew up in Ohio, and my Mom, Dad and sister are still there (Toledo, Toledo, and Columbus, respectively), so I had a first hand report on Ohio's election experience and my mom's major election-influenced depression. Glad to hear that some of the Bushies seem to have mellowed.
Consensus? Let's all just sit at home and knit for the next four years. I know that I have enough stash so that I wouldn't really have to leave the house...
What I don't understand is how Colorado could elect a Democratic Senator to the US Senate as well as the Democrats taking the majority in both the state house and senate and yet the Moron takes all of our electoral votes?!?

PS Welcome back to NYC. I wish I was there. {sigh}
