In short, America will soon look like godless Europe. It's that simple.
Wow, you mean we might have a stronger economy, better health care, longer life expectancies, and a near-total lack of violent crime? Someone stop them before it's too late!
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I came home and fixed myself a screwdriver. I almost never have a drink the moment I get home.

Huh. Some Ohio polling places in the Cleveland are staying open an extra 90 minutes b/c, apparently, of fuck-ups that happened early today.
Which means that the goddamn election returns for Ohio won't be reported for ANOTHER 90 MINUTES.
Though CNN is calling the OH governor's race for Strickland, the Dem. candidate. So I tentatively say woo. And hoo.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
This a good thing, Tep -- there are a whole bunch of places (various counties in FL, VA, Utah, Illinois) where they had the fuckups and refused to hold the polls open any later.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I have voted. My polling place is mac's school's cafeteria. There were 2 sets of polling observers!! 2 SETS!!
And now watching PBS people talk about whether or not the federal government should take over monitoring polling places. I think someone was actually arguing that they should so that it will be uniform. I wonder if this person has flown in the last few years. Cause the TSA? NOT UNIFORM PRACTICES!
ION, I just sold a piece of furniture. $50 and ROOOMMMM in my living room. YAY!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Internet good. I'm keeping track of results on CNN. Well, 'results' might be a bit strong. But they're calling the Ohio governorship for Strickland. And I'm learning that the Michigan governor is facing the former head of Amway, of all people (I bet he's got a great door-to-door campaign network). I like your elections, they understand the notion of spectacle. And tasering 7-year-old moppets.

I voted this morning at around 7:30. Well over 200 people got there before me, and I had to stand in line. Apparently turnout's been pretty intense, for midterms.

That's one thing I don't like about the ebooks. I used to be able to watch as they signed me in, and that showed me what voter # I was.
