They both ride AMTRAK! We are back from DC and happily have lots of photos to share from the event - everything from ACELA train rides to the Netroots Nation Party and of course, the big day itself. Photos below! Enjoy (but be prepared for anything)

He is one of thousands of US soldiers who will continue fighting the "war on terror" while the rest of us enjoy a happy new year here at home under the hopeful gaze of an Obama administration.

The electricty that is. We live in southern Maine and our power has been out for the past 2 days, the cable was restored late this afternoon and the phone service is not expected to be back on until next week. Now this was nothing compared to the ice storm of 1998, but we did have some significant icing, so I wanted to share some pictures of how pretty it was when all was said and done. There are still about 65000 people without power here in Maine, but CMP is working around the clock to restore it.

It's a beautiful, cold Monday morning here in New England. As I was walking the dogs this morning, inhaling that nice, fresh ocean air, I ruminated on that damnable Yahoo story about the smoking habit of the President Elect. He has, according to Tom Brokaw, fallen off the wagon a few times. So, being a reformed smoker myself, I'd like to offer some tips to the President Elect, and will welcome yours below!

So okay, we've been out of the loop for a couple of weeks - but we're back and better than ever. Tonight, a topic near and dear to my heart: Sondheim. All Sondheim...All the time!

To break the monotony of a Friday afternoon, and unable to participate fully in the joy that is Mojo Friday, I ask you to join me in discussing your inaugural plans.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled Show Tunes Tuesdays to join the legion of liveblogging with many thanks to Fleet AdmiralJ. Please join us below for stats on the following races: ME President; ME Senate; ME House District 01. If this diary gets too overloaded with comments, we would welcome you to take over a new diary for additional coverage and comments after we reach, oh, say 1500 comments (as if!)

UPDATE: I'm so lame, I deleted some serious code earlier tonight and think that this diary sucks. Oh Well. Maine has been called for Obama and the senate race seems to have gone to Susan Collins (R-Incumbent) but District 1 is still not determined. More later.

Since we will all be a little distracted tomorrow night, and since I have committed my Tuesday diary to Liveblogging Election Results for the State of Maine, I wanted to get our Showtunes in a day early! There have been many great shows with political themes including the three I have chosen for tonight's discussion. But I'm sure you have your own personal favorites. So join us for a wonderful discussion and then get some sleep! You're going to need it!

Well, now we know what Santa earns! At $175 per hour, he's really living large, and since we know that he lives in Virginia, could it mean "red state" status for the Old Dominion?
