And all of the Obama fans in the neighborhood are chortling in their joy,their signs still out, one house with balloons. We have slain the Jabberwocky who was trying to whiffle his way into our neck of the tulgey woods.
No, I think it is a bit risky to be so celebratory. But we are still carrying our vorpal swords here in Ohio. Lots of mini jubjubs and aspiring bandersnathes did well, thanks to the gerrymandering.
