Join us as we check in with the likes of Cher, George Takei, Lady Gaga, and Andy Cohen as they reel from the horrible news in 140 characters or less. Chuckle to yourself, and then begin to cry, and then perhaps try to stand up but collapse to the floor and hit your head on the coffee table, and then there’s probably some light vomiting and additional guttural sobs.

Did we just elect a snake oil salesman and his wicked court of terror, or is my ambien kicking in? Or both? ??
