Hey, I get the big square states mixed up -- we're even!
Anyway, Lieberman is indeed an incumbent, and loathesome. The fact that he's getting the vast, vast majority of the R votes in CT says a lot about his true colors, I think.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hey, what's the deal with the Vermont Senate race? Is there a reason why the Dems aren't running a candidate? I gather the Independent (who's looking good to replace Jeffords) is closer to the Dems than Republicans, but I was wondering what the story was.
Bernie Sanders is Vermont's incredibly popular only Representative, and a Socialist.
He actually secured the Democratic nomination for Senator, but once he got it, he renounced it, just to make sure that no Democrat would run against him. He's a Democrat in every way except in name.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ok, I find that very entertaining. I like Vermont more and more.
In another 'V' state (startiing with V, not overrun with human-devouring lizard-creatures), I bring the news that when George Washington ran for the Virginia legislature in 1758, over 50% of his recorded expenses were for booze. Oh, and in the early 1900s, X-ray glasses (bogus) were offered for sale, prompting a London clothing shop to offer lead-lined women's undergarments in response.

That's funny. I was good with the western states. Could tell you what notches identified what absent of other comparisons. But those weird wiggly ones... that took a bit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love that about Bernie.

When I lived in Pennsylvania, bars were closed on election day, so the parties couldn't just round up the drunks and buy their votes for the cost of a drink.

When he was General of the US Army, he didn't draw a salary. But he did submit an infamous expense account to Congress afterwards.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The guest house we're in has only an ancient little tv (with a dozen or so channel buttons with fixed channel numbers on them!) so I fiddled with the rabbit ears and managed to come up with some NBC coverage. So no TDS for me, bummer.
But I'm happy, 'cause at least I have sporadic broadband. Yay for internets in rural areas.
