Washington Nationals?
Nationals Unveil Logos, Colors .
So the new team is named the Washington Nationals. Kind of a crappy name. I think they should be named the Washington Reagans. Which is befitting, because they will probably suck.
And in fact, to comply with Norquist's hairbrained Reagan Legacy project I think that all "blue" counties should pick out something in their borders that sucks and rename it after Ronald Reagan.
For Brooklyn, I propose the Reagan Sewage Treatment Plant (formerly Newtown Creek). Any other suggestions?

Bruce Springsteen lyrics - Badlands lyrics @ All The Lyrics
Need some musical inspiration after that electoral loss? Pop in some pre-Born in the USA Springsteen, like Badlands
Lights out tonight
trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
smashin' in my guts, man
I'm caught in a cross fire
that I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure girl
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn
For just the in betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
talk about a dream
Try to make it real
you wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
for a moment that just don't come
Well, don't waste your time waiting
(Chorus)
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
and these badlands start treating us good

Postal Service Tale: Indie Rock, Snail Mail and Trademark Law
The United States Postal Service - the real one, as in stamps and letters - signed an agreement with [the band The Postal Service] granting a free license to use the name in exchange for working to promote using the mail. Future copies of the album and the group's follow-up work will have a notice about the trademark, while the federal Postal Service will sell the band's CD's on its Web site, potentially earning a profit. The band may do some television commercials for the post office. The group also agreed to perform at the postmaster general's annual National Executive Conference in Washington on Nov. 17.
I didn't know that the Senior Executive Service enjoyed year-old Indie Rock.

Breakin Up Is Hard To Do
I remarked to a co-worker today, "It feels like all the Democrats just got broken up with by the rest of America. 'This election was fun and all, but I'm really looking for a long term commitment and my mean, old boyfriend just proposed to me, so I'm not sure this is going to work out.' "
Seriously, though most of my friends are heartbroken. I feel that many of us were looking to this as a turning point to end the lies and the madness, but it will not be so.
I will have to build back up that thick skin I enclosed myself in 2002 and early 2003 when it seemed as if I could cut myself off from the federal government and the effects on the world that Bush + Co were perpetrating. I had this fantasy that the East Coast could reach some sort of truce with them where we agreed to leave each other alone on social issues.
I feel though, that to do that would be impossible now. I have done too much in this campaign, met too many people, become too vested in my community to stop now.
The Democrats in this campaign failed to tell people directly about the underlying values they were fighting for - truth, accountability of leaders to the people, equality, and tolerance. The grassroots activists of the Democratic party have the burden to make that explicit. They also have the burden of forming a real opposition party. No more Bush-lite. No more letting the administration use the bully-pulpit to control the zeitgeist of the news. Finally, they have the burden of reforming a political agenda that can convince people that voting for them will not send them straight to hell.
