Onion Soup
Following an election night tradition she learned from Arthur Goldhammer, Pica made and brought onion soup to an election party we had over at Mary’s this evening. We’re all verklempt at the result.

I think the whole world is verklempt by this result. Truly inspiring. Here in Australia we have had blanket media coverage of your election. Congratulations.
Go Obama! While I am ecstatic at the election result, I’m in a state of shock that Prop 8 passed. How is this possible? In California?
Verklempt is exactly the right word. (And I have a blurry low-res camera-phone picture that captured the moment in the ballot booth, too.)
Richard: It has made me sick to my stomach ever since. How it happened is that a lot of money was poured into California by people who are a) bigots b) morons. I’m sick about it.
