As I said in another thread, I'm from Massachusetts, and I feel like a building fell on me last night.

As it happens, I have the day off today; I was blogging the vote from 8am to 9pm yesterday. I was all over the city interviewing people, and was in Coakley headquarters when the million-pound shithammer (hat-tip to HST for the line) came down...thus, I get a day to rest.

So I've been reading DU pretty much since I woke up. In that time, I've learned ten things I didn't know, laughed, got pissed, got inspired, got in an argument, settled it amicably, and am a little smarter and better now than I was this morning.

That happens to me a lot with this place.

Thank you, DU. You've made a galactically bad day very much more endurable. Again.
