Sinden.org continues to observe the Octave of the American Election. Normal programming, if there is such a thing, will resume eventually.

Major kudos to Miss Wombat of in time of daffodils for providing us with a keen election night musical analysis.

After his concession speech, the McCain camp piped in music from the film Crimson Tide: "a movie about an old white guy submarine captain, and the upstart young, black XO who have to deal with Russia attacking their sub."

This is, as Miss Wombat notes "an almost hilarious topical reference about black vs. white and experience vs. inexperience."

But more than that, isn't it a pointed reference a certain vice presidential candidate who was a threat to both campaigns? And to the ever present Russia, a country in close proximity to said vice presidential candidate's house?

Not to mention that the site of all of this drama is an electorally significant Ohio-class submarine?
