Rob's Guide To "What To Watch For On Election Night"

OK, so it's not really MY guide, but Nancy Benac of the Associated Press has written a FABULOUS NON-PARTISAN piece on how to watch election night coverage unfold.  Starting with polls closing in Virginia at 7pm, till Alaska is the last to report at 1am Eastern, the What To Watch On Election Night hour-by-hour breakdown has the Rob Lucas Seal Of Approval, for making a complicated process easy to understand.  It's been published all over, but our link is from the  San Francisco Chronicle.

Rob Lucas "Conflicted" Over Louis CK On SNL
 
I've never quite "gotten" Louis CK. Maybe that's why I thought he was completely UNfunny in the opening monologue. But I did really like him in all the skits.  Is that odd? Am I alone on this?
