Election Night
A tip of the hat to the Grauniad, whose excellent Election Blog has been continually entertaining in the run-up to election day, and is proving to be a considerably more informative and entertaining resource than the Beeb’s (thus-far sneaked-Mars-Bar-free) election night TV show.
And talking of the Beeb, ya boo and sucks to BBC America who this year aren’t bothering to show any election results. And why would they, when they’ve got this fine and highly up-to-date line-up for the night:

The BBC's coverage was scheduled to be broadcast on C-SPAN 2, that well-known top tier channel, until 11 Eastern. In practice, they broadcast it on C-SPAN 2 until 10 Eastern, then they unexpectedly cut to a documentary about the 60th anniversary of the Holocaust. At least, according to my girlfriend, who was watching it in Somerville, MA while I was watching it here in Middlesbrough.
