KT here--

Cfukara: Please don't forget when all of our Swampland commenters joined me (virtually, at least) in the men's room while I was covering Hillary Clinton.

It has been fun.

Even Schmidt knows that any reporter who doesn't recognize the magnitude of today's history is in the wrong business.

Tequilla.....interesting.

Tequilla was the song in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" that he danced to.
.
Paul Rubens played Pee Wee Herman.
.
Paul Rubens was arrested for indecent exposure.

Therefore, applying Fox Fair and Balanced logic Obama is a sex freak.

Some of the reports were precious.
* Like the blog from the middle east with KT totally preoccupied with pining away for a cold soda - and totally oblivious, apparently, to the grandeur of the Roman ruins in Amman, Jordan.

* Like the one from 10 Downing Street, London - with the local reporters - the restless natives - standing at the scaffolding totally hating the US reporters for the privilege of sitting on the ground a few inches nearer "That One". Later, I saw a picture of the reporters and the scaffolding. I WAS amused. It made my day.
[Who would have thought that the imperial Brits hate being the target of discrimination ...]

Thanks KT - for taking us along.

sg:

My brother in law noticed they started here late yesterday on MSNBC.
.
My wife just voted, too! I had to scout the scenery for her, then I came home and took the car with her wheelchair so she could vote.
.
That's 5 for 5 in my immediate family. Debbie's brother is going to vote at two (five there) and I must make a very important note.
.
I've been there twice this morning and I saw four youth voters in the 20 minutes total we were there!
