For the past eight years, Jon Stewart, Tina Fey and other comedians have had us laughing through our tears. If Obama wins, will the laughter die?

    What do you think is about to flower: The Golden Age of Democracy?

    Yeah, right. not.

    Let's not forget about whom we're talking. The Republicans have been such egregious assholes it's been tough to top, but face it, the Democrats en masse are easily as big a circus and corporate shills as the Republicans, they just aren't as authoritarian and shrill.

    But they're just as dunderheaded, vain and corrupt. PLENTY of fodder for good humor, you won't be disappointed.
