obama mia!

That was the lead-off parody in last night's Capitol Steps show at the Schnitz.

When, at the end of the show, they announced from the stage that McCain had conceded, the place went nuts. Everyone poured out onto the street, where drummers were pounding out amazing rhythms and everyone was jumping.

After a while, the drummers moved up Broadway and the crowd followed them to Pioneer Courthouse Square, where the drumming and dancing frenzy continued, while passing drivers honked continuously.

I'd like to officially thank the US voters for this birthday present.
