On the lighter side of the news...
If you live in a blue state & are unhappy about the election, here's some sites that you may want to read:

http://slate.msn.com/id/2109300/
http://slate.msn.com/id/2109135/
The first one is about blue state secession and the last 2 are about moving to Canada. The secession option doesn't look too promising, but moving to Canada may be for you. Just make sure you look at these sites before packing your bags for a trip up north. Personally, I'm generally skeptical of any country where it snows most of the year and the national sport is hockey.
If you're more of a visual person. Try to download the episode of CNN's Crossfire where Jon Stewart was the guest. It's friggin' hilarious. Also, start watching The Daily Show if you aren't already. It has some of the sharpest writing on all of television and probably has much more useful content than Fox News and CNN combined.

I found this article on the NY Times website. I like how the Candian immigration official referred to the prospect of moving to Canada from the US as "applications for asylum."

Yeah, I've heard a couple of good jokes around the office about moving to Canada. BTW, wasn't there some "he's not our president" rally around UCLA?
Yup, looks like you're right about the rally. More info can be found in this Daily Bruin article.
Snippets:
Organized by the Concerned Students of UCLA – a group of leaders from various student groups created for the purposes of the event – the noontime rally at Meyerhoff Park drew a crowd that grew to about 200 as the sometimes profanity-laden and fiery speeches beckoned passersby on Bruin Walk to stop and listen.
...
According to a Daily Bruin exit poll conducted on Election Day, 82 percent of UCLA students, staff and faculty surveyed voted for Bush's opponent, Sen. John Kerry, who conceded the election Wednesday.
...
Matt Knee, Bruin Republicans president, added he was "offended by the 'Not My President' concept" and said he believes it was "highly inappropriate" for students to claim that Bush is not their president.
Didn't hear about the rally. Kevin, good job on posting the article up. I like the part of the part where the leader of the UCLA Republicans said he was "deeply offended" by the concept. I wonder if he felt the same way when people said that about Bill Clinton.
