You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

I am super mad that our polling place does not give out "I voted" stickers.

Mine didn't either! it never does for some reason. Although I've seen other people in town sporting them.

The CBC is having special election coverage tonight. I think they're way more excited about this election than they were about our own election a few weeks ago.

The subtext of this message: The world is watching America, don't screw this one up!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

When I early voted last week - they had run out of the "I voted" stickers. As annoyed as I was, I took that as a good sign.

It is very strange living in a swing state that actually seems to be swinging in the right direction. Come on Colorado - you can do it!!!!

Aw, otters holding hands. I hadn't seen that in a while. Thanks, lisah!

I am going out to vote around noon, so I don't want to watch any coverage until after I've voted. It's a vaguely superstitious thing that I can't quite put my finger on, but I'm going with it. I do have the day off, though, so I've decided to go out somewhere and pull some combination of running errands and watching coverage. I'm taking Hal with me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Thanks Sue - No pressure or anything.

My friend in Wales is saying the same btw - she's all "Tell me this is going to go the right way" - dude, I cannot control the whole damn country.

I do feel a bit neutured not having volunteered at all. I was more active last election. All my effort this year has been posting things on FaceBook and sending a few emails to folks in TX about early voting.

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

CNN Election Coverage Through The Years

I love this caption for the 1980 picture:

Back in 1980 this was probably considered futuristic. Lou Dobbs and Bella Abzug host CNN's first US election coverage, five months after the news network's launch. Any similarity between the central section of the set behind them and the interior of Doctor Who's Tardis is entirely coincidental

I'm in line at my wee elementary school auditorium, and we haven't started voting yet. I got here at 6:41a and am 20th in line.
