My pal Philip won a spot in the Vermont Senate. Couldn’t happen to a more capable guy. Damn proud to have been part of his campaign staff.

Read his entertaining post-victory post, with a typically amusing title: THE EAGLE HAS LANDED; This State Senate Campaign Goes Over The Top; The Cursed Hows and Whys of Reporting Delays; A Constant And Unending Stream of Thank-You Lines; Not To Mention a Touching, Nostalgic “Way We Were” Photo Montage of the Campaign 2009 To Now

Classic.

C-SPAN: A Monstertrucker of Government Programming

Hilarious.

Mostly this.

Jon Stewart captures the mania perfectly…
