I love that he took the stage after midnight EST. It means he took the stage on NOVEMBER 5th!

My friend Marc-Anthony Macon has some good things to say : "Joy. Let’s start there. No, here. Joy is here and we’re a part of it. Let’s start here. For those of us who have lived through eight years of incompetent and malfeasant American leadership, Joy has now earned a capital J, if for no other reason than to signify the celebration we’re all holding in our tired little ...

What are my plans for today? Um I'm gonna sit back, relax, and enjoy some documentaries. Seriously! I bought a History Channel DVD boxset ...
