We amuse ourselves.
We sent the following to our friends as an invitation to come over and watch election results:
Fellow armchair pundits-
Change is coming. Change you can believe in. A celebration to mark the end of the election season will take place at [Ourname] Election Headquarters, home to the best news junkies watching television. We will be monitoring election results as they come in, and listening to expert analysis from the liberal 'gotcha' media. We welcome anyone, whether you're a plumber or an elitist snob, Muslim terrorist or Christian nutjob, maverick or messiah, Caribou Barbie or blowhard who has foot-in-mouth disease. We won't look into your past, so don't worry if you've asked God to damn America, or if you've harbored thoughts of secession. We'll even welcome you if you're a jack-ass who always refuses to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
When: The end of days, Tuesday November 4th. First polls close at 5:00PM CST (portions of Indiana and Kentucky). First full-state poll closings start at 6:00PM CST. Feel free to stop in anytime throughout the night (though we may not stay up waiting for Alaska and Hawaii).
We'll supply: television, green chili, 4 varieties of homebrew, Oldstyle beer, and wine.
You'll supply: small munchies to share.
Location: (our address). We are in a condo community, but there are no gates (bitter, trooper, or otherwise). We're near (local college) main campus. If you reach the Bridge to Nowhere, you've gone too far.
Preferred attire: Palin-casual
We look forward to meeting with you, though unlike Obama, we have a precondition. People who have not voted will not be allowed to enter. Polls close in (our state) at 9 pm, so you have plenty of time.

I wish I could come, but alas I'll be on a flight to Denver. (And wouldn't be in Iowa in Tuesday either, but that's a small thing.)
Also, if you are an NPR/ipod junkie, you might want to check out Radio Lab. It's an interesting series that we get here on the NPR station. It might be a PRI program.
