It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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.

Random weird observation: O'Malley and Cardin threw their election night at the Hippodrome Theater and the American Visionary Art Museum, respectively. Ehrlich and Steele? A Hyatt.

Doesn't really mean anything. Except maybe the Maryland Dems pick better venues.

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

Joe Scarborough and Col. Jack Jacobs were discussing the departure of Rumsfeld, when Scarborough started recalling his days in the House:

Scarborough: "I remember about 6 months into the Bush administration and I was on the Armed Services Committee, when a fellow Republican turned to me and said 'I thought no body would make me miss Bill Clinton, but that is exactly what this guy is doing'"

This is just the start of the Rumsfeld fallout. Scarborough has been critical of him, but I expect to see more people who supported Rumsfeld to quickly turn on him.

Let's hope so.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Creative and (at least a bit) daring vs. traditional and boring.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

b) find the quote.

The....quote?

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.

Gee, WHOEVER could have forseen that as a problem? (rolls eyes forever)

Please tell me they're Diebold machines, and I might just lose my soul from achieving perfect happiness.

Unless he wants something specific changed in the letter....

No, that's not it at all. What he is thinking though, I can't say. Not being craxy myself and all.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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.

Wow, the schadenfreude is flying thick and fast today. Be wary if there are any unscheduled software "upgrades" from Diebold in the near future.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Can I just say that Britney's people are really smart? We're so busy looking at election results that no one even cares about her divorce from Cheeto Federline.
