when George Washington ran for the Virginia legislature in 1758, over 50% of his recorded expenses were for booze.
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.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

"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.

Oh, I forgot! When I got to the polls, there was a group of about 10 people waving signs for the Democratic candidates. They shouted "Vote Democrat!" as I walked by. I shouted back "Not a problem." Then I saw this lone guy with an Ehrlich shirt and signs. All by his lonesome. But it made me happy, seeing someone making an effort in such a blue precinct. Someone who gave a damned enough to stand out there, all alone, as wrongheaded as I might think he was. When I left, I walked by him and thanked him for being there. I swear to god, democracy in action makes me a mushy sap. Mr. Smith indoctrinated me well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good one, amych. About fucking time.

From CQ Politics [link] :
Democrat John Yarmuth has defeated Republican Rep. Anne M. Northup in Kentucky's 3rd District. This is a big one: Other Democratic pickups tonight have been expected, but we had this race ranked Leans Republican. This is also the first of our bellwether races to be decided.
