So has anyone waited longer than 90 minutes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
At least 4,000 foreign journalists to cover election
The whole planet is obsessed with the U.S. presidential election - and the world's news media is poised to deliver the goods, subject to interpretation in more ways than one. It is one big cultural moment.
As of Monday more than 4,000 foreign journalists have been granted credentials to cover the campaign finale, according to State Department spokesman Keith Peterson.
"Interest is unprecedented," he said. "And every journalist is looking for their local angle. It's huge in Bangladesh. In France, 'Le Figaro' devoted five pages to the election. The Russians and Nigerians want to know how foreign policy will affect them, the Irish want to talk about the Irish ancestry of Sen. Barack Obama on his mother's side."
The Vietnamese, on the other hand, want to hear about Sen. John McCain, a prisoner of war in Hanoi four decades ago, while the Kenyan audience is keen for insight about Mr. Obama's father, a native of the country.

While Brazilian journalists will venture out on Route 66 in search of the great American voting experience, Al Jazeera will send 50 reporters to towns in Virginia, Florida, Ohio and other swing states. More than 50 French journalists also will offer their take on the election from Chicago, Phoenix and Manhattan, N.Y., according to Agence France-Presse .

One day, Jen, you and me.
You betcha!
I got a little teary as I poked around the site sumi linked with Obama voting - the thousand kids in line at Penn State (or was it U Penn? Either way - teary).
Although, I remember distinctly having to go off campus to vote when I was in college. Voting for Dukakis. A hundred years ago.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The whole "It was just a joke" thing pisses me off too.
Making one copy to prank a friend is a joke, as long as you make clear to friend long before Election Day that you were only joking. Sending copies to complete strangers is NOT a joke.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Holy Crap!
My big! Boss's position has just been eliminated. The Dean is telling everyone herself and assures us that no other positions will be eliminated.
I am a little nauseaous, but I really disliked Big!Boss and thought she lacked integrity, so I hope this is a good thing!
ETA- I am so shocked that I signed my post!!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Your Big!Boss was loathesome, but I hope for you that they're being honest about no further shakeups.
