Bourbon is nice, my favorite liquor.

But this election doesn't even deserve bathtub gin. Maybe America should stay sober while listening to the election results as a penance for nominating the two most disliked candidates in polling history.

Watching Facebook posts will be funny at least. There will be a lot of meltdowns in my feed whichever outcome.

Two Democratic administrations in a row for the first time in most of our lifetimes, and the GOP maybe losing the Senate as well. I'll drink to that.

Senate Majority Leader Bernie Sanders.

That alone makes all the shit show worth it, if it happens. (Please throw us Liberals a bone, guys?)

I have every expectation that Elizabeth Warren will become increasingly strident over the next several years.

Same. Here's hoping the turnout is high. High turn out favors the Dem's.

He'll almost certainly get the chair of the Budget Committee if the Democrats take the Senate, but I haven't heard anything about Majority Leader. Did I miss something?

Only the voices in my head. hah!

I guess you're right, but I'm so not looking forward to hearing more conspiracy theories about the Clintons for four years from everyone out here in Texas.

But really I'm kidding myself if I think any candidate left of Cruz could avoid the smearing here.

Let's be frank for a moment:

I work in Hollywood.

On a television show.

That skews younger than anything else on network television.

On the youngest-skewing network on the airwaves.

And in the lunchroom today? I heard people I know and like talking about I-shit-you-not Clinton death camps.

People are going to be losing their shit for years'n'years'n'years.
