Yes We Did Update

• Bygawd, we did it! Thanks to all of you, and of course, Mark Morford. (Who asks us right off the bat not to gloat, but damn....)


• Meanwhile, in spite of the fact that the Associated Press called the election in Minnesota for Norm Coleman, there's still a chance that Al Franken can win this thing. Keep your fingers crossed.


• Here's "a toast to the Obamas as they enjoy a brief, golden moment before beginning the grueling business of disappointing their followers, astonishing their enemies and doing what is right for our country." By one of our favorite writers, Garrison Keillor.


• What's the difference between Sarah Palin and a pit bull? The pit bull eventually lets go. Bad joke? Probably. But it's a John McCain joke. Heavy sigh.


• Joy, hope, relief ... and an ominous reminder from Jesse Jackson.


• You've already met Joe the Plumber. But John McCain waited until the day before the election to bring out his ultimate weapon: Pepe the Feather Duster. Dana Milbank comments on McCain's final moments.


• Here's an ugly little article about McCain's mother, of all people, giving up on all us misguided people. Man, if the whole family's like this, it must be real fun at Thanksgiving.


• And love him or hate him, Michael Moore is never at a loss for words. For our part, we love him. Thanks for all you've done, Michael.
