Happy birthday, Trudy!
In Mississippi, there's a special election for an open Senate seat. The Republican governor is doing everything he can to fix the vote for his guy, from combining the election with the general one to moving the seat's position on the ballot from near the top, under the other national offices, to burying it at the bottom, and now he's trying to get the party designations removed. All of those things are legal other than moving it to the bottom of the ballot, so the Dems have sued and a judge is holding printing of the ballots until the issue is resolved in court.
And the scene we saw? Had Waldorf and Statler!
AWESOME.
I can't get juliana and her facial injury out of my mind. Mine's so trivial in comparison, but I look at the furniture I hit and wonder how I missed losing teeth or an eye or something more than just cosmetic, although this scar will probably hang around for a while--needless to say I heal like ass.
a) Get thee some arnica gel, that worked wonders on my facial scars.
b) Jeez, ita. I'm so sorry, doll.

How can you be an evangelist Episcopalian? I mean, I'm sure there are such things, but it's... SUCH a different version of Episcopalian than I'm used to!
CNN's electoral map has 8 tossup states. If the two that went to Kerry in 2004 (MI and NH) go to Obama, he still needs 6 electoral votes.
Remaining toss-up states:
CO
FL
OH
MO
VA
NV (only 5 electoral votes)
How much would I love Virginia to go Democrat? Very much.
Mostly, I'm really tired of elections coming down to Florida and Ohio.
I think this one will come down to Ohio.
I have to say, living where I do (in Virginia, no less, although I'll grant you it's the most rural white hunting part of Virginia), I'm feeling less-than-optimistic about this election. I really wish that at some point we'd managed to break the Republican we're-just-like-you-and-they're-not aura, because it's going to be a huge issue this time. I think.

Amen.
Ohio, REPRESENT!!!
Er, which is to say, I live here, and I agree totally with you.
I *think* Ohio will go Obama, but that doesn't guarantee that the results won't be fucked up by Diebold or whatever their new name is.
I know this makes me sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist, but I totally believe that Kerry took Ohio in 2004 but Diebold and goddamn evil-ass Ken Blackwell threw it for BushCo.
ION, McDonald's iced vanilla latte tastes like ass. I'm not sure if I'm disappointed in the taste or the fact that I expected it NOT to.
And I saw Jessica Simpson on the View this morning. She tried singing some torchy country song a la Faith Hill or Leann Rimes. Jess just doesn't have the pipes. It was cringe worthy.
