Tonight I scanned everywhere from new york times to cnn to npr to fox news to twitter for my election news. The picture is the tv on the right and the laptop on the left. It’s a little different from how things have gone in the past, it seems to me. Anyway, Barack Obama is the president elect, so congrats! Yay!
