Heh, what are we going to do with ourselves when the election's over? I will go into mourning.

Complain about how the winner is screwing us over.

Watch The Daily Show to see how Jon Stewart can live with himself cracking jokes about Obama everyday.

Watch the circular firing squads ensue on both the winners and the losers sides.

The John Woo and Kevin Smith ones were crap, but that Wes Anderson one was brilliant. If you had said Anderson had actually directed it as a spoof on himself I probably would have believed you.

Yeah, it's best to skip the first two.

My favourite moment is suring the slo-mo when the guy in the middle throws the paper up in the air. That moment somehow perfectly captures the essence of Wes Anderson.

I'm not quite sure if you're praising Stewart for his ability to make fun of Obama or criticizing him for daring to mock the junior senator from Illinois... I'm hoping for the former.

I don't know if everyone else has found www.fivethirtyeight.com, but for a place that is all about polls they do a decent job of showing what can go wrong with them. I'm still laughing at this... whats wrong with this picture

Strikeouts are boring - besides that, they're fascist.  Throw some ground balls.  More democratic.

Fascinating stuff for any politics fan.
