Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Now tagless for your comfort.

According to Talking Head Toobin on CNN, Virginia's potential recount won't help Allen. He said most of the votes are electronic and therefore not "recountable" per se. They're canvassing the electronic counts but he said it's unheard of for a candidate to pick up several thousand votes in this situation.

I have no Latin or Math ability to speak of.

Mostly lurking...

Me, apparently, since I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, then, me too. This weighted voting stuff is crazy.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Actually, just spoke with major election geek at the office. According to him, the VA AG race last year had a recount because the original count showed a 300 vote difference. The recount changed the margin by about 27.

BTW, according to the same EG, apparently 3 precincts, total of about 1500 residents, still haven't reported in VA.

Shrift, are you done with the craxy? I think we need it back. Like, say you sent your BigBoss a letter giving notice, and he responded that he "does not accept." Um, okay?

Not really quite sure what comes next in this little drama. Nor when we veered away from Steve Carrell towards Costanzaland.

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

I think those are ones that tend Democrat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The first time I quit my boss objected to the letter, so I had to write him another one that he liked better.

So much for Bush's moment of sanity. He's using 9/11 to justify Iraq and continuing the war. I'm slowly backing away from my teevee.

Um, reply "I'm going away where you can't find me, so just deal"?

I don't understand what "does not accept" means here. Unless he wants something specific changed in the letter....

Shrift, are you done with the craxy?

Yes, I am. Have it back, with an extra helping of, "I reject your reality and substitute my own!"
