nothing looks bad on sara.

I have read some RIdiculous and easily as vile things on liberal blogs over the past 6 years.

No kidding. Neither republican nor democrat has a monopoly on the crazy. I try not to froth. It's hard sometimes, but really, it's just messy and looks bad on me.

I would agree, but I'd argue that there's more of the crazy, the hate, on Republican blogs.

I saw Carville say that if he were in Allen's place he would use his legal right to demand a recount. He doubts it will do him any good; recounts tend to produce Democratic gains - but when it is that close you won't know until you try.

But I'm with you on the investigation and indictments. I also wonder if we can have some investigation of Lieberman's nearly $400,000 "petty cash" slush fund.

mmmm, now I want frites and beer.

To be fair, I was saying this in 2004. :)

This is sadly true. Including launching bile at those on the left who are NOT LIKE THEM (moderates howling for Naders head six years later; Naderites still trying to sell the "there's no difference between 'em" meme).

My favorite snarky comment in the blogosphere so far (from a gleeful poster on Glenn Greenwald's excellent blog) is:

Why does America hate America so much?

And, oh, man, heaven bless Jesus' General for wading into the swamp of Little Green Footballs so nobody else has to. This comment curdled the contents of my stomach:

Bush is losing precisely because he has took the high road after 9/11 instead of Zyclon B-ing most of the muslim world after attacking our shores as they have been doing to our shipping since 1800.

This is a world war and not a tea party for the Yale/Harvard clique...

Islam must have a boot smashing into its face forever until it becomes a grown up religion not bent on murdering everyone on the planet...

Off now to soak up the bitterness of the Freepers and read the Salon article tommyrot linked. I'm being petty and heartless and, just for now, I absolutely don't care. It's a beautiful morning!

Naderites still trying to sell the "there's no difference between 'em" meme

Are there any of those left? (Besides Nader, I mean.)

I'm trying not to gloat. I just want to be happy for a while and anticipate an overall return to national sanity.

I got Owen to say "good for democracy" this morning.

Now it's time to get us around and dressed (we celebrated in our jammies) and get to the park.

The American public deserves what it voted for -- Tax & Spend

What Tom said, about "Isn't tax & spend better than not-tax & spend?" Cause, I mean, if you're gonna have money going out, isn't it necessary for money to be coming in, at some point?

I know this is the nation of credit card debt, but holy moley.

Ehrlich has conceded. Governor Martin O'Malley. Huh.

Sign of the times (and too damned many ads!) this cracked me up:

In downtown Annapolis, as a light evening rain fell, hairstylist Tarsha Beavers, 23, arrived to vote with her young daughter, Jaylin, in tow. Beavers said she liked Martin O'Malley and Ben Cardin as Democratic candidates for governor and senator.

"Everything's so close and I had to make sure I vote," she said. "My friends ask me why."

Jaylin, 4, looked up from the water fountain and said, "I approved this message."
