The Year of Jubilo

Of course, at the polls, the pen flew out of my hand and blackened that little Straight Party egg, as it always had, and I'm glad, I tell you.

Sen. McCain's speech sounded like a great sigh of relief; it was elegant, magnanimous and inspiring. Speeches like that throughout the campaign might have got him elected.

I'm even proud of Gov. Palin. As the musicians used to tell each other, "If you don't know the words, fake it!"

And proud of The Man!
