N.L. just kicked in. If you have no idea what N.L. means, email me. I'm tryin' to keep it a little cleaner around here nowadays.
I knew something was wrong when I went to the barbershop and Negroes were in there Harlem Shakin' like the Redskins just won the Superbowl (as if).
My Negro Intuition told me: "Somethin' somethin', somethin' somethin' just won't riiiiight!"
We celebrated too soon, too loudly, and too long.
Instead of laying around my hotel tonight after work watching election returns, I decided to venture into the mean streets of the Twin Cities to watch that botched abortion of an NBA team, the post-K.G. Minnesota Timberwolves, beat the Miami Heat in a snoozefest. While in the quiet as-a-library Target Center (seriously, I.L.L., they should pay me to go to these games), I watched the out-of-town scoreboard and kept an eye on my Washington Wizards, who seemed to be just a few points behind the Houston Rockets all game long.

Question: After the jubilation about a "New America" Thursday night, has Iowa proven that the "New America" is pretty much just like the old one?
