A post-election six pack for your reading pleasure or bile, whichever.

In no particular order.

NOT THAT MORMON WORD, MIND YOU
From the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: "We congratulate President Obama on winning a second term as President of the United States."

REALIGNMENT
Ross Douthat in the New York Times: "When you do it once, it’s just a victory. When you do it twice, it’s a realignment."

MISOGYNY
Bryce Covert in The Nation: "When we look for people to thank for these victories, we have to give blatant Republican misogyny a big round of applause."

ANGER
Michael Barone at National Review: "Those on the losing side will be especially angry with those whose candidate won."

ACHIEVEMENT
Jonathan Freedland in The Guardian: "As election night brought the familiar, intense focus on this or that county in Ohio or Florida, it was easy to lose sight of the scale of Obama's achievement."

HILARITY
In The Onion: "Sources are confirming that the moments leading up to Mitt Romney’s concession speech last nigh ... were all more than likely pretty hilarious."
