I put a long post up concerning my emotional reaction to last night's decision at Three Guys, which you can read if you so choose. It starts like this: "I feel like I am in grief -- if not for America, then for an ideal of America, one which last night I believed and which now I have lost," and it ends like this: Poo-tee-weet?

As a nation, we lost so much last night. What I feel now is not the righteous anger I expected to feel if Bush won -- instead, it's grief and hurt, it's loss and deep despair.
