IT'S A NEW RECORD!

Just a few minutes minutes ago I celebrated my 12th straight hour at work, the first time I've done this since election night 2004 at the Hotline. So, chances are I'll fall somewhere short of that all-night marathon, which makes this not an all-time record, but it's certainly a record here, outdistancing my previous record by two hours. And I didn't really win anything, except maybe the adventure of finding out what happens if I try to exit the front doors hours after the place locks up.

And I should say, depending on how one looks at it, November '04 wasn't really a record either, as long as we're counting my unpaid editorship of the Oregon Commentator as work. Back in those days, sometimes I wouldn't leave the office for the better part of a week.

Speaking of the OC, ex-editor-in-chief/senior hanger-on (hey, I did it, too) Tyler Graf performed admirably on the "The O'Reilly Factor" this evening, discussing the absurd Insurgent/Jesus cartoon controversy. TV interviews aren't easy, much less when you're talking into a camera, and less still when your host is none other than His O'Reillyness. Extra points for attempting to plug the website.

All right, back to work. It'll be difficult enough to hail a cab this late as it is.

Update — Well, I didn't make it home by midnight as I'd planned (my original target was 10pm) but close enough.
