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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. Many Republican commentators are complaining of voter fraud. Are they making excuses for their losses? Or is this an attempt to head-off Democratic complaints of voter fraud?

They're teasing us for the inevitable spinoff(s) of Decision 2006...Recount 2006 and Litigation 2006.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Huh. Many Republican commentators are complaining of voter fraud.
Oh, thank heaven Emmett has commandeered the TV for Airbender. I already spent too much time throwing up in my mouth over a report on MSNBC that former Senator Frothy Mix's office had already filed a preemptive fraud complaint in anticipation of his loss.
Joe Scarborough didn't help with the throwing up, either, with all his yipping about how conservative all the winning Democrats are and how, when the dust settles, it'll be almost like the Republicans have maintained or even increased their majority with all the conservative, conservative, so-not-left DINOs running around. (I didn't mean to spend so much time watching him, but -- it was MSNBC! erika's sooper seekrit pundit husband is co-anchoring! I thought maybe somebody'd let him get a word in edgewise! But, apparently, not.)

Our wings are not tired.
Poop, the other guy won for Governor of Florida. I kinda figured it would go that way, but always hopeful me.

Chris Matthews on MSNBC was just wondering, "Why do people in the Northeast hate Bush so much? The rest of the country doesn't, so why do they?" Ummm, I don't think so, otherwise the Repubs would be winning more seats in Congress in "the rest of the country".

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Tivo/DVR alert -- you have to manually record TDS/Colbert tonight, because it's a special.
I was just coming in to post that!
Darn it, now I have to think of something else to say.

What is even happening?
We have to have something to say, now?

Mmm, yeah, voter fraud. When Diebold loves Bush and in my state there are all sorts of underhanded (but not necessarily legally challengeable) things.
Frankly, if republican campaigner are tying up dem voter complaint lines, or producing voter-confusing lit that people might follow, or importing out of staters to campaign...well, I hate it, it's tacky and shitty, but any voter who is stymied by that...um. I have little sympathy. Sucks if it wins, for me, but hey, by the people, even if they are terminally stupid. Which is how I am not ruler of the world.
If I were ruler, terminally stupid would not be an option. And yet, I'm pro-compulsory voting, provided there is a N/A option.
