I’ve been holding back a funny album cover that I didn’t think would fit in with the previous ones.

But, opportunity knocked…

The man in the center is the newly elected John Hall of the 19th Congressional District of New York.

Yes, he’s still having fun. And yes, he’s still the one.

Even Stephen Colbert agrees…

A few other post election tidbits…

Raw Story reports on the article about “Fiddy State” in Salon by Joe Conason…

“Only weeks after the Democratic National Committee chose Howard Dean as its chairman last year, the nasty whispers began to circulate around Washington and among longtime party donors and activists in cities from New York to Los Angeles,” writes Conason. “‘He’s going to be a disaster,’ they muttered. ‘He can’t raise any money. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. And what does he mean by this crazy 50-state strategy?’”

Despite his struggles with power brokers in a party he was selected to lead, Dean persevered and is now “enjoying vindication far earlier than he ever expected,” the article says.

“What Dean and his organizers created … was an environment that allowed insurgents and outliers as well as the party’s chosen challengers to ride the national wave of revulsion against conservative rule,” Conason writes. “Faced with many more viable challenges than anticipated, the Republicans made mistakes in allocating resources — and were forced to defend candidates in districts that are usually safe.”

Conason says that Dean has “reached a peaceful accommodation” with his party adversaries, in part motivated by his popularity among the “unruly netroots.” While deliberation over the continuance of the 50-state strategy will continue, Dean has in the meantime “won the argument” he initiated in the planning for this year’s midterm.

“There would have been much less for the Democrats to celebrate on Election Night,” concludes Conason, “if Howard Dean hadn’t been so ‘crazy’ — and so persistent.”
