Post-Election Stress Disorder: A condition in which campaign staffers in overwhelming and uncontrollable electoral experiences are subsequently psychologically affected by feelings of intense fear, anger, loss of control, helplessness, and extreme vulnerability.

The new Congress was sworn in this week, and wow, what a bunch of winners they are. It's not just that they're Republicans (which really is bad enough) -- what we've got here is an insidious pack of Karl Rove neocons who have somehow managed to use "values" as a smokescreen for racism, sexism, homophobia, massive greed and various other forms of backward thinking. But you already knew that.

RAPID CITY, S.D. -- As a result of some kind of bizarro time-warp situation, today is both my first day at work AND election day. Now normally election day would be the LAST day of a campaign job, but this is my life we're talking about, and when you throw South Dakota into the mix, well then things just get crazy. Actually, I am spending today volunteering for Stephanie Herseth, a candidate for

A really good day. One of those days where you're just busy enough and everything in your schedule is something you want to do. Let's recap: 8:30 a.m.: Wake up. Brew coffee. Flip through The Denver Post (real news! pages of it!) and eat a bearclaw. Shower leisurely. 9:30 a.m.: Laundry. Loads of it. For free. Noon: Meet up with Greg at the Air Force Academy. See Greg in uniform for the first

DENVER -- Drove from CoMo to CO yesterday. Nice drive. Right. However, am always impressed with the intellegent signage along I-70. Some highlights: "Goodland, Kansas: We're waiting FOR YOU" (scary) "Abiline, Kansas: Your trails end tonight" (scarier) "Abortion is forever" (Uh, yeah) "Pornography destroys families" (Maybe if they're starring in it) "Happiness is a bowl of beans" (I don't even

So I'm graduating tomorrow. Naturally I've been getting pretty nostalgic about the whole college thing, but last night as I watched a guy I don't know pee out my living room window, I realized that maybe it's time to move on. Some things about college I won't miss: The J-School Moving every eight or nine months The Maneater listserv Day two of a hangover Greeks Drinking alcohol that comes in a

So apparently our beloved vice president was in Fulton yesterday giving a speech about freedom, democracy and other things he pretends to believe in, which is all well and good except that his motorcade happened to pass the Bob Evans right at the beginning of what was shaping up to be a pretty profitable lunch rush.

Just returned from Ernie's, a nice little independent diner that serves some of the best pancakes I've ever had. If you live in Columbia and have never eaten at Ernie's, well, there's no excuse for people like you. Anyway, Ernie's was a good experience as usual -- the pancakes were tasty, the eggs were well cooked, and there was coffee and hot sauce aplenty -- except for one thing. Our waiter

***Warning: The following is a serious post. There is no humor involved. At all.*** They say that the real tragedies and disasters you encounter in your life aren't the ones you spend time worrying about and anticipating, they're the ones that blindside you "at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday." I couldn't agree more. Five years ago today two boys walked into Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo.

I live in a war zone This morning I woke up to the all-too-familiar sound of jackhammering at 5 in the goddam morning. No, that's not a crude reference to my neighbors' sexual activities -- there were actual men with actual jackhammers just outside my window pounding away at some kind of rock or metal or something at precisely 5:04 a.m. Which is something I'm really happy about. ***************

Yes indeedie. Today I accepted a job as a field person with the Tom Daschle for South Dakota campaign. Starts June 1. I'm going to be working for Mitch, my region director from Iowa and the best boss ever. And Christina, the Edwards research director and my awesome boss from this summer, is going to be there too. So, can we just skip ahead to graduation now?

So I am a waitress now. At Bob Evans. Was kind of nervous about it at first, which was in no way helped by the first five or six people I told I'd been hired (including my mother and sister) all of whom responded with some variation of "Well I bet you'll be terrible at it." Thanks guys.* It is not bad though. Memorizing what goes in all the different omelets and what dinners come with rolls vs.

I think I might have given myself pneumonia. Last night around 11 I decided that I really wanted to go running. I did not let the fact that it was 9 degrees outside stop me. Or the fact that I never, ever, ever go running. Now it hurts to breathe. So I'll just stick that in the Things To Never Do Again file.
