Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I wonder what will come of it.
Bush is a lame duck for two years and basically none of his agenda moves forward. Probably some indictments. Lots of pressure to get an exit plan for Iraq but nothing will happen until after the next Presidential election.
My hands are raw. Why? Democracy! Took a temp gig helping sort ballots. From 7 to 10pm tonight I did nothing except hang out in a warehouse filled with city owned parade floats and Red Cross emergency vehicles. From 10 to Midnight we sorted a thousand 90 lb bags. And by sort I mean dragged those fuckers all over a warehouse to their appropriate polling place number. I probably dragged about sixty of them in the two hours, so that's a few tons of democracy. You're welcome America.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
that's a few tons of democracy. You're welcome America.You exist!
I heart democracy but I kinda thought it was like unicorns and myth-y. Also dependent of being a virgin.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Mmmmm, these are some nice numbers to wake up to. A year or so ago a number of Dem. politicos lambasted Howard Dean because he insisted on putting money into races in all 50 states, instead of concentrating on just the then-likely Democratic wins. Betcha he's being hailed as a genius by a lot of the same folks this morning.

Ooooh, it's like waking up on Christmas morning! What a difference from 2004!
I went to bed before TDS/Colbert came on, so I have that to look forward to.

Our wings are not tired.
Well, I gave up and went to bed at 1:24 my time. Having sweet dreams of leading in all the outstanding races. After 5 wonderful hours, still leading in all the outstanding races. Finish counting already!
Blue skies!

This has been my best election in countless years. 6 of the 9 people I voted for won. Apparently the people of Florida only think Yes is an option on amendments so didn't do so great there. Still feeling so much better.
And no political ads on the teevee today!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Tennesse has just become a blue state, I think. While I'm not sure how such things are quantified, we elected a Democratic governor (yes!) and six of our ten districts turned from Republican to Democrat, when before all but Nashville's district, really, was Republic. We elected a Republican to the Senate. But everything else went Democratic-way. That's so awesome I can't even begin to say.
Also, it was really funny to check the percentages on the NYT this morning and see that Blackwell in Ohio only got 39% of the vote. Awesome.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
We became a blue state that helped Senate Republicans hold on to their majority, and if my ears didn't deceive me the marriage amendment passed by something like 81%. So more purplish, i guess.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Webb is leading in Virginia and Tester is leading in Montana for the Senate. But both races are still close and haven't been called yet.
I have no fingernails left to chew.
