How many kids do you think will be named Barack in the next year?




My Obama victory celebration took place on Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The people took it to the streets and it was belly-warming, especially considering this is a crowd of people constantly derided for their feigned apathy and supposed ironic distance from genuine enthusiasm. I figured similar celebrations were going on all over the country and the rest of the world. But being isolated in a young, drunk and very liberal neighborhood of NYC, I wondered aloud what the scene was like in Lawrence, Kansas.

Lawrence, KS celebrates Obama victory


Granted, Lawrence is young, drunk, and (relatively) liberal too, but still, it's like a belly full of flapjacks. No word yet on Topekans taking to the street.

Barack Babies
