  • Yes yes, we know. Google’s done this hundreds of times in the past. But, for the 40th anniversary of “Sesame Street,” this is easily the most awesome one they’ve ever done. Even better?

  • Thank you to every single person out there that joined my team and fought back for America. This one was worth the fight. And it’s only one fight in the battle, and we have to keep fighting.
  • Failed Coservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman • On losing the race in New York despite huge amounts of momentum propping his third-party self up. The seat wasn’t as notable as the two governors’ races, but considering the right-leaning support Hoffman got from Sarah Palin and others, the loss to Bill Owens might be more stinging. • source
