What’s better than an electoral landslide? An Emmy! Last year’s Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert “Rally To Restore Sanity” in DC may have been a total bust as a game-changing political event to counter the Tea Party’s momentum, but who cares? It’s been nominated for Daytime Emmys in the (hitherto unknown to me) fields of “Outstanding Special Class Special” and “Outstanding Achievement in Live & Direct to Tape Sound Mixing”.

Don’t worry if the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Special Class Special sounds vaguely like the telly equivalent of the gongs crumbling dictatorships hand out ever more frantically in their last desperate weeks. I gather it’s a highly sought award for Specials produced by Outstanding members of the Special Class or something. (They’re up against the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. The Libyan War was hoping for a nomination, but it doesn’t qualify, as it’s not on TV.)
