1. The Good: The SF Gate banners read: "Orange Crush." Ok. But, hey, that slogan is alive and well in Denver. It's San Francisco. Where weirdness resides. How about the autumn of love fest? Today, fans in droves lined the streets of the city to celebrate the World Series coming home for the first time in the Giants west coast franchise history. The young pitcher's Bumgarner and Cain have their caps enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Lincecum, the flower power gunslinger, has had 2 jersey's retired to Cooperstown. On a magical fall day that brought out the best in humanity, San Francisco grooved like it was well, circa 1967. Free love and adulation poured out in waves of cheering, roaring fans. Brian Wilson, the mohawk, bearded all world closer, got down from his cable car and walked amongst the masses. Dave Righetti, the pitching coach, choked up and near tears said the win was for everyone in SF, especially the residents of the San Bruno fire. And the Oakland Athletics, the baseball team across the Bay took out a full page ad in the SF Chronicle congratulating the Giants. It doesn't get any better than this.
2. The shellacked: Manning up and not dodging the press, El Presidente used that term to describe the Republican victories across the country last night. Humbled and somber, team Obama is regrouping and sifting through Plan B which will cover the next 2 years. Is the sky falling? Not exactly. But as President Obama said, "I feel bad for the Democrats who supported my agendas and went down to defeat over them."
3. On the horizon and with the moon in some sort of post-Halloween retro melt-down, these e'phant stars are rising: Marco Rubio, Susana Martinez and Scott Walker.
4. The Ugly: Hmmmm. 60 new e'phant seats in the House or Randy Moss. Randy Moss. After shouting profanities at a caterer who was bringing in lunch to the Vikings facility, saying the food was unfit even for his dog, and for publicly ranting how much he missed his ex team the Patriots, and his ex Coach Belichick, Moss was shown the front door by the Vikings who took their magic marker and made an indelible X out of him.
