CALL ME SNAKE

Today is truly a day to rejoice. A mother at my daughters’ school said it well: “I finally feel proud.” I hadn’t thought of it that way but I do think she’s right. Yet for some reason I wasn’t as elated last night as I should have been, whereas I know how terribly I would have felt had the election gone the other way.

And now for the bad news. I will miss the impersonations of John McCain and Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. I don’t expect we’ll be seeing much of those anymore, and the performances were truly inspired. Unfortunately, the guy who does Obama is not nearly as good, and we may be stuck with him for the next 4 years and hopefully 8.
