Answer: “Who the heck is that on the recliner?”

Q: What were the first words out of my wife mouth this morning to my son when she saw Dan Collins (who she has never met or heard of) sleeping on the recliner when she came downstairs this morning?

I was dead asleep upstairs and Stacy on the couch, she and I thought I would be crashing in Boston and was at work when Dan arrived and left.

I hope to have Dan (now on his way home) over again. I hope you checked out his coverage last night as he gave much more color of the place itself than I did.

Oh and buy his book!

Update: Fisherville Mike links (thanks) but doesn’t know the end of the story. When my wife got home she mentioned that Dan had his feet on the chair in front of the computer so she couldn’t get online either.

I will have several post of round up on things over the next few days but I have to take Stacy to Boston for a 6 a.m. train so I have one more short sleep night left.

Update: Fishersville Mike has a better title for this post.

I spent all yesterday asking if the Democrats …

…would take the right lesson or the wrong lesson from yesterday’s vote:

As I was driving home with Stacy after an errand I heard Rush reading this column in the Globe and I had my answer.

The sheer contempt for the electorate that the column and those who commented with approval of it drips of the bigotry I heard at the Obama rally combined with the arrogance of the Coakley campaign.

If the GOP doesn’t take advantage of this foolishness it’s only because they are not trying or in the word of Phil Sheridan:

Ride right through them, they’re demoralized as hell

If we don’t ride through them it’s because we are not trying.

Update: Camp of the Saints links and has pictures!

…who was so kind to listen to an old man pontificate. I’m actually at a 2nd computer so I will be linking to your blog as soon as my laptop is back up and unpacked. I will include said link in this post. and other.

And to the rest who are reading this, she may not think she has things to add to the conversation but after talking to her, I think she does.

Everyone has something to offer and that little bit can make a big difference. In yesterdays election everyone who voted for Scott Brown contributed a single vote, but together it made history.

Oh and check out her blog, a young woman of such intelligence and gifts, who has been quietly applying them to the cause of life, should be heard.

And to the nice young man who was with her, my complements sir!

And Stacy introduced me, for that alone you should hit his tip jar.

I drove into the Driveway at 3:48 a.m. this morning

…with a groggy Dan Collins and an even more groggy Stacy McCain.

Stacy sleeps with the TV on so I put MSNBC on the tube and almost declined to go to be as I watched the re-run with such a sense of guilty pleasure that I might need confession to handle it.

The fact that I managed not to fall asleep at the wheel is a matter of some surprise to me. The most glorious part was I was able to actually sleep till 9 a.m.

I’m sure my wife was shocked to see an extra person crashed in the den so it will be an interesting time when she gets home tonight.

Meanwhile I’ve got to take care of my guests, so I’ll get some blogging done in a little bit.
