NaBloPoMo Day 7: Devouring Post-Election Day Articles

[terabient]

I missed most of the Election Day excitement, as I fell asleep at 9pm. But I'm making up for it today by drowning in post-election analysis articles, also stupid internet memes.

I am super-tired so instead of a real post I'm just gonna dump a few links to articles/pictures I like.

First, some awesome news from my state: we're the first to have an all-female congressional delegate + governor! HOORAY FOR PROGRESS

On Karl Rove's meltdown on Fox News: Fox Struggles With Obama's Win (NPR) The 5 Stages of Conservative Grief (Slate)

On the failure of SuperPACs: Outside Groups Spend Big, Poor Results; SuperPAC Money Might Have Hurt More Than Helped (NPR) Billion Dollar Bust? (Politico) Republican Super PACs wasted money on bad TV (Slate)

Memes and other silly things:

Political Kombat! Actually done before the election but I only discovered it yesterday WHOOPS. The level of detail is both hilarious and slightly alarming.

Oh, Florida.



No gold star for you:



How the election went down:



If it's a legitimate threat...



Tomorrow: I WILL ACTUALLY WRITE SOMETHING.

Lol XD A day of epic fail for the Republicans...

Someone shared this with me but I was too lazy to put it on facebook, and now, almost a day later, someone else had. Here it is so I won't be dubbed Slowpoke (maybe).

Maybe I should feel bad for reveling in the Republican's misery as much as the Democratic victories but...nah. The current Republican party is so mean-spirited and small-minded they almost come off as comic book villains, and yet they're entirely serious. CRY MOAR

oohhh, that tumblr is brutal. *follows* Thanks for the link!
