I'm starting to feel sorry for the grass-roots conservatives. They keep getting saddled with embarrassing names. First they were Teabaggers, now they're Guy Fawkers.

In light of Tuesday's elections, one thing is abundantly clear: If you want your boring local election to gain unwarranted national weight and prominence, hold it in an off year. Better yet, don't even hold it in November. Move your deputy county comptroller election to April 2011, and watch it become a bellwether referendum on the future of all carbon-based species.

After the jump, coverage of the election results continues with The Daily Show.

Al Gore was all over the TV last night. The dude was just impossible to avoid. He sat down with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, he debated the economic effects of climate change with Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report, and, perhaps most notably, he could be seen on Fox's broadcast of The World Series, cheering on the Yankees in his startlingly effective Kate Hudson costume.

Last night, blogger and beard aficionado Andrew Sullivan made his fourth appearance on The Colbert Report to make the case that President Obama has accomplished quite a lot in his first year in office. I guess he makes some valid points, but for all we know, he's also part of the Communist Nazi Jihadist conspiracy. I heard he doesn't even have a legal American birth certificate.

By now you've seen California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's letter to the State Assembly that included an expletive-laden secret message. It's been passed all around the internet, and last night it was featured on The Colbert Report. In fact, that letter has now been seen by more people than Collateral Damage and The 6th Day combined.

On last night's Colbert Report, Stephen interviewed singer/songwriter Rosanne Cash about the US government's use of nonstop loud music to torture detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Of course, as the daughter of Johnny Cash, Rosanne surely knows that if the military really wanted to torture those prisoners, they would just have a train drive by the prison with a fancy dining cart.
