Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Ima go put on pants and get coffee and vote. There's no law saying I gotta put on pants though, right?

I got to the school at 8 am. I voted at 9:30. The line was just as long (outside in front of the school) as when I arrived. The lady behind me got all giddy when she saw a girl she knows standing in line. The girl turned 18 two months ago and still had an hour-long drive to school afterwards.
I've never seen so many people there, ever. People were taking the day off, splitting shifts, taking sick leave to be there. There was a kid there with his mom wearing a ballcap with "Yes We Can" and Obama '08 on it.

Thanks Sue - No pressure or anything.
I trust the Buffistas will do the right thing.

I believe the constitution is silent on the issue of pants.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This pisses me off: Phony Virginia Flier Culprit Found
State elections officials have identified the person responsible for a phony election flier that told Republicans to vote on Tuesday and Democrats to vote a day later.
State Board of Elections Secretary Nancy Rodrigues said Monday the flier bearing the Virginia seal and the elections board logo was a joke that got out of control. The flier was distributed early last week across Hampton Roads. State police confirmed it also was distributed by e-mail.
...
While distribution of false information to voters is a misdemeanor, state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller says no charges would be filed.
Why no charges?
Also, when Bush is no longer president, I kinda' hope he says his presidency was a "joke that got out of control." Except then he'll probably get no charges either.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm going to be on a plane from 5:15 EST to 8:35 PST, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be watching CNN the whole time.
My fantasy is that they will have called it for Obama by the time we land, but I'm pretty sure that won't happen.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My first thought this morning was, "I hope America doesn't make Laura cry today."
I'm a big old pile of mush today. Got misty listening to the report about Obama's grandmother. I expect tears to flow before the call tonight.
But I forgot about tears of joy and relief. Also, a few subtle, good humored fist pumps of "I told you so!" in the direction of her good friends and neighbors who've been giving her the needle for her liberal ways.
I am hoping that Nate Silver is freaking awesome at his job.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I am hoping that Nate Silver is freaking awesome at his job.
Since everyone who does that job has been coming to pretty much the same conclusions, I'm hopeful. On the other hand, none of them is as awesome as Nate at being my secret internet boyfriend.
