I'm so sad to hear about Obama's grandmother. I bet she tried to hang on for as long as she possibly could -- I'm actually just a little teary about it.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My first thought was the same as yours, followed closely by "That can only help him."
This is me. Because it's not like someone (not Mc, not the party officially, but someone) won't sling shit, but it hasn't exactly been a great help to them. (Witness: Dole. Plumber-comma-the. Palin's approval ratings.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh - forgot to say earlier - The Plumber was in my office building earlier today. Happily I did not see him, but I missed him in the lobby by only seconds.

“Not dead yet!”
and for McCain to actually have to lock her in a closet for all of tomorrow.
Only for tomorrow? Damn.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Everybody! Quick, go outside! Look at the sky! See that bright point of light next to the Moon? It's Jupiter!
OK, you don't have to run out this moment - it'll be there for a while. And at the end of the month, Venus is gonna go hang out with Jupiter....

I'm actually just a little teary about it.
Dude, I'm genuinely weepy. If the man wins tomorrow before I get off at 10pm, I fully expect to be sobbing at work.
Query to self: when did you become the kind of sap who cries at political campaigns?

Aww, I'm kinda touched by some of the entries in the Phoenix Mission twitter epitaph contest:

Bush's legacy is not going to be pretty. But them chickens, they do eventually find their way home to roost.
As the curtain falls on the Bush Administration, one set piece of the Administration's policy on torture has finally been ushered offstage. The Bybee Memo, a 2002 opinion authored by the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, was brushed aside last week by a federal judge overseeing the nation's first-ever criminal trial of an American accused of torture abroad. The public defenders representing torture suspect Chucky Taylor, a U.S. citizen and the son of former Liberian military strongman Charles Taylor, submitted it for consideration as part of potential jury instructions. But Federal Judge Cecilia Altonaga rejected the terms laid out in the memo, saying, "I will not give an instruction that relies upon that memorandum as its authority."

Now tagless for your comfort.
msbelle, I've actually stood out with the kids waiting for the bus, and when it didn't come, put them in the van and drove Owen to school on a day he didn't have school. It happens. By the way, the clothes came and Owen was so excited! He tried all the shirts on and said, "Cool new clothes!"
I have a box of clothes I need to put in the mail for Dillo.
I'm actually getting robo calls on call waiting while I'm on the line with other robo calls.
I'm so sorry for Obama's grandmother. It really makes me teary thinking of her trying to hold on until the election.
