I liked the Wyatt Cenac analysis of the election on TDS last night.
That was HILARIOUS!
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm googling too, but thanks Typo.

Ah, I just answered my main question by looking more closely at the ballot. The Constitutional Convention is a separate question from the recall process question. Doh.

The status is NOT quo.
Jumping to the end to see if Kat's around--Kat, your class is all set on Brave New World and Handmaid's Tale, right? You just need 1984 and Lord of the Flies?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh, thanks for the reminder Pix. My students wanted to donate their old copies to Kat's classes too.

Tracking info tells me that the copies of 1984 I sent reached Rancho Cucamonga yesterday. Maybe they'll be delivered today or tomorrow!

OK, this is disturbing. Granted, he was interrupted in typing, but this is not the greeting I want to see with a new customer in a chat:
"Hi, this is Frank. We want to share"

What an annoying story.
Dole's 'Godless' ad causes stir
The already-contentious North Carolina Senate race took a brutal turn Wednesday after incumbent Sen. Elizabeth Dole released a television ad suggesting challenger Kay Hagan is "Godless."
“A leader of the Godless Americans PAC recently held a secret fundraiser for Kay Hagan,” the 30-second ad says before showing clips from members of the group declaring God and Jesus do not exist.
“Godless Americans and Kay Hagan. She hid from cameras. Took godless money,” the ad's narrator also says. “What did Kay Hagan promise in return?”
I'm bothered by the implication that nonbelievers are so reprehensible that just getting campaign money from them is some sort of despicable act. Sort of like the Muslim charge on Barrack implies there is something inherently wrong with being a Muslim.
