I don't know how long it's going to be there but Late Night with Seth Meyers is running a YouTube marathon of all his "A Closer Look" segments since Donald J. Trump was sworn in. It runs more than 35 hours (!) and I think it's in a loop until such time as they take it down. You can catch some of it at this link and after it's over, you may be able to access the videos individually at this link. And then again, you may not. In any case, I think this is some of the sharpest political comedy/commentary ever done for television.
I may change my mind in five minutes but I've decided not to watch the coverage of Election Day today, either online or on TV, until we have some real results…like candidates conceding races. I not only think this will be a roller coaster ride but a much longer roller coaster ride than most people expect. If the news is disappointing or even inconclusive, I'd like to go to bed tonight thinking, "At least I got a lot of work done today."
Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers are apparently doing their shows tonight live but that means Colbert does his at 8:35 Pacific Time when the polls won't even have closed in some parts of the country. And not much more may be known when Meyers goes up at 9:35. Whatever they do know, it'll be way outta date by the time we get those shows out here on the Left Coast.
I assume I don't have to tell anyone who's smart enough to read this blog that they have to go out and vote today. My vote-by-mail ballot is long since in and I didn't even have to walk anywhere or stand in line to do that. If your polling place today looks like a ticket booth handing out free passes to see Springsteen, you might want to consider going the "by mail" route next election. That's assuming there is a next election. These days, you can't take things like that for granted.
