Who was the last sexy Republican president? Teddy Roosevelt?
I don't know about sexy, but maybe the most bad-ass president. Dude took a bullet and still delivered a ninety minute speech.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

ita, when my daughter's car got broken into the insurance covered the entire replacement cost of the window. Being broken into is different than having an accident.

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

I'll be out $250 at most. About $250 more than I want to spend. Three ER visits.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
AFL-CIO Mailer Touts Obama On Guns, Jobs
Huh. It's a picture of this big, tough-looking guy, with a caption that says, "I want to protect two things: MY JOB AND MY GUN. That's why I'm supporting Barack Obama."

We have tv commercials here in Colorado "I'm a member of the NRA and I support Barack Obama. McCain wants to send jobs overseas, so he sucks". Or something like that.

Marauding elephants go high-tech: Kenyan Elephants Text Rangers Before Raiding Villages
OL PEJETA, Kenya — The text message from the elephant flashed across Richard Lesowapir's screen: Kimani was heading for neighboring farms.
The huge bull elephant had a long history of raiding villagers' crops during the harvest, sometimes wiping out six months of income at a time. But this time a mobile phone card inserted in his collar sent rangers a text message. Lesowapir, an armed guard and a driver arrived in a jeep bristling with spotlights to frighten Kimani back into the Ol Pejeta conservancy.

This is fuckin' weird - Florida is apparently now strongly for Obama: [link]
I read somewhere that if McCain loses Florida, he has no chance of winning. Is this correct?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
if McCain loses Florida, he has no chance of winning.
He has to win either Florida or Ohio. Five Thirty Eight says that the probability of McCain winning the election without Florida and Ohio is 0.00%, and it has Florida listed as the #1 "tipping point state", but I'm not quite sure exactly what that measures.

It will be really hard for McCain to win if he loses any of Florida, Ohio, Virgina, North Carolina, or Missouri.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am happy to report that the house in our neighborhood with the most Obama signs belongs to Walter Koenig. Go, Chekov!
