'Nice shot, kid…'

"…that was one in a million."

The Rebel Alliance has finally won a tremendous victory. It's not time to cue the Ewoks, yet. But it sure feels good.

I'm very, very tired, though; working through the election, on deadline, trying to make sure every dot and comma was where it needed to be while giddy with exhilaration was exciting, satisfying and, ultimately, exhausting.

I have lots to say, and I will, probably at great length. The only thing I want to say right now is that I thought McCain's concession speech was a class act; I really wish he'd run his whole campaign that way.

For now, though, I'm going to make some tea. Then I'll see if the Stewart/Colbert election special is on hulu.com. If it is, I'm going to watch it. Then I am going to pass right out.
