You will write a thoughtful post on anti-intellectualism tonight? I will not write anything thoughtful tonight. I will be dancing on the streets tonight, hugging strangers and cheering. Apparently I will also be doing push-ups.
Anand: Let’s at least make this interesting – one push-up for each EV of Obama’s margin of victory?
Megan: Oooof. That's a lot of push-ups. If we can do them in bunches, through the weekend.
Anand: I believe the phrase is ‘The Fierce Urgency of Now’, not ‘The Moderate Urgency of Sometime this Week’. But maybe I mis-understood.
Megan: How many push-ups is it likely to be?
Anand: 538 says 170, but that includes NC going for Obama. Take that away, are we’re below 150. Barely a double-dose! We could tag-team, if that suits you better. Count me in for 100 of those 150.
Megan: If you're doing push-ups, I'm doing push-ups. At the party?
Anand: Hmmmm . . . . sorta depends on the venue. Not all parties easily lend themselves to doing pushups, unfortunately. Maybe I’ll just do ‘em when I get home, in a solemn moment of post-election reflection.
My Mommy is canvassing in North Carolina this very minute. I bet I'm doing seventy push-ups tonight.
