Cheers, Tim Russert!

We miss you, no day more than today, election day.  I hope you are looking down upon the ridiculous CNN and it’s click ‘n play graphics that they’re so awed with, they stand in front of the map preventing viewers from even seeing it.

You always made it real.  Nothing was on NBC when I first checked results so I was stuck with CNN for a bit, but it was amateur hour.  Your friends at NBC were scheduled to toast you and your white boards after the election was called.

Hopefully you were sitting with my Mom over a beer (she’s recently joined your community) and perhaps discussing the Blizzard of ’77.  She never made Buffalo Wings but was a great cook.

Here’s to a new America.  I know you would have wanted to be here to see this.  People came out to vote in droves, democracy in action, instead of inaction.  Thank you, Tim.
