The liberal Democratic meltdown continues: the whining, the weeping, the blaming of Hillary Clinton, the gnashing of teeth and those heartbreaking, sighing questions about whether life is worth living anymore.
And that's not just in America's newsrooms, either, but in many other places too.
Outside newsrooms, half the country is in political mourning, the other half is still relishing the election.
And if they don't relish the elevation of Donald Trump to the presidency exactly, they're at least celebrating those videos shared on social media, of precious TV talking heads and pundits laughing hysterically while mocking the "uneducated" and the "deplorables" who didn't have the wits to deny Hillary her Restoration.
But they did, and it's over. So what to look at now?
•Democrats pushing for an end to the Electoral College, reminding me of the story of those two wolves and the lamb voting on what's for dinner.
•The fight over whether Clinton should be charged with a crime, and if she is, should she expect a pardon?
•And what about those safety pins?
The safety pins are becoming symbols of solidarity for the young on the left who oppose Trump. And they're quite the fashion accessory. But don't criticize the kids. I've realized that those who criticize the young anti-Trump protesters are just as blind as liberal pundits, unable to see through their partisanship.
The anti-Trump protests aren't exactly spontaneous, are they? They're organized, perhaps with George Soros' cash.
My only complaints are those primal scream parties on campus and students who asked for postelection counseling. These are the signs of weak children born to a diseased establishment that's been overturned.
In every age, history is full of such poignant teeth gnashing.
Yet whatever their politics, and as a dad with college tuition bills, skipping midterms for the sake of political tribalism is foolish. That's where the safety pins come in.
A safety pin on your clothing demonstrates solidarity with the anti-Trumpsters, and a shield from shaming. But there's a problem with the pins. The irony of it all.
I thought irony died decades ago, but it insists on reanimating itself.
They're safety pins! S-a-f-e-t-y Pins.
Safe space, safe pins, get it? Safety pins were once used to secure cloth diapers so baby bottoms wouldn't get pricked.
I had hoped they'd wear something a bit tougher, like a needle, or a bloody "Game of Thrones" spike. Can't they find some symbolism just a tad less baby-bottomish?
