Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People  

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.

Yeah, I gotta stop watching the ever changing numbers for a little while.

I don't understand projections. For example, CNN projected Lieberman to win. But now, 30 minutes later, it's Lieberman 45% and Lamont 45% with 11% of the precincts reporting.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Theodosia, I'm actually trying to avoid election results. Hubs insists on watching. So I'm holed up with the computer, which isn't helping.

I may just insist on the TV with the TiVo, so I can watch one of the previously recorded movies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

For example, CNN projected Lieberman to win. But now, 30 minutes later, it's Lieberman 45% and Lamont 45% with 11% of the precincts reporting.

I think it's based on what they expect to see versus what they saw. Like, in New York, if upstate was leaning toward a Democrat state-wide, it would be a good bet that they'd win, since the city is so Democratic.

Maybe it's the cheap pinot grigio, but I could swear MSNBC's showing Steele(R) losing with 57% of the vote.

I'm basing off of what is running on the bottom of my screen during The Unit. So.....

CNN is calling Whitehouse over Chafee.

CNN was showing that too. Madness! Now if only some 30,000 votes would magically swing toward Jim Webb in Virginia...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have woken up from nap. Hmmm - I took a nap in 2004 too and woke up really depressed.

Oh, I don't know if folks have posted this, but TDS and Colbert are going to be combined into one freakish monster of a show. Oh, and live too.

Yet another job I could never do. I'd need to be medicated.

Also, it cracks me up everytime I hear someone on CNN use the word "blogosphere."

Tivo/DVR alert -- you have to manually record TDS/Colbert tonight, because it's a special.
