• Slow news week, right? Oy, where to begin. On Monday we were still laughing at Sarah Palin, when we weren't killing ourselves with worry. Obama cried, about his grandmother.
• Oh man, then there was this election on Tuesday! Sarah Palin voted for NO ONE because she's a maverick. Tim Robbins caused a big fuss. We looked back on the last couple minutes of history with nostalgia.
• And we all had a big election night party! We called it for Obama at 9:30 and put up the ceremonial puppy photo shortly thereafter.
• Meanwhile: holograms! Puppies! Parties! Cute kids!
• The next day we all looked at newspapers and were all "whoa." And we gave advice to Sarah Palin, whose humiliation was just beginning. It just got worse.
• Robert Novak says don't worry, Barack Obama didn't win by that much. Don't tell it to the crying weepy liberals. Barney got emotional too. And some British person said some stuff. Still, no one has jobs.
• The man responsible for America's Best Dinosaur Movie died.
• Rahm Emanuel is America's favorite new enforcer.
• Oh, the recriminations and blaming and terrible stories of dysfunction. We love the week after elections.
• Hey, 30 Rock was pretty good this week.
• Puppies!
