'Get It Done'
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.
I hate these fucking assholes, and I so want them to lose: The Call: Spiritual Warfare in the Field of Martyrs
But I learned something new from this article:
the spirit of Minerva (Roman goddess of warriors, poetry, wisdom and medicine) controls the state of California.
Awesome!
Virginia Tech Students Sent To Vote At Remote Location
More than 5,600 people, mainly Virginia Tech students, are registered to vote at precinct E1 in Blacksburg, Virginia (Montgomery County). That number is nearly double what the state law allows for polling stations and the lack of an additional polling station is causing substantial delays. In addition, the polling place is 6.5 miles away from campus at a tiny church located off the main road. There is no street sign marking the turn off to the one lane road. There are 30 parking spots for the thousands of voters expected to turn up at precinct E1.

Isn't Minerva on our state seal? or something like that?
up on 538: [link] what we will know by 7pm. It may be an early night for those in the know.
Bwah! Republicans are calling for Obama to fill his cabinet with stalwart Republicans.
Where can that even be coming from? (Aside from desperation.)
You lose. You're out. You're out because you fucked up the country.
Bwah! Republicans are calling for Obama to fill his cabinet with stalwart Republicans.
Not just Republicans, sadly. It looks like several of the Democratic Leadership Council folks are also telling Obama he needs to reach out across the aisle for his cabinet. Those would be the same folks who have been driving the Democratic Party rightward for the last several decades. Yo - STFU!!!
Bwah! Republicans are calling for Obama to fill his cabinet with stalwart Republicans.
Yeah, because Republicans put a lot of Democrats into the cabinet, didn't they?
It's like how some Republicans are all of a sudden concerned about increasing the size of government, or the dangers of one party controlling both the presidency and Congress.
I want nothing more than a landslide and control of both houses adn then I will scream from the rooftops - mandate motherfucker mandate!!!
My polling place is at the fairgrounds in Southern Maryland, about 40 minutes from Washington, D.C. This used to be tobacco country, but is slowly being developed, or other crops are grown. We waited until 10:00 to vote, to avoid the lines. When we got there a 97-year-old Black man was being wheeled out of the polls in his wheelchair. It was the first time he had ever voted in his life. When he came outside he asked if anyone could give him an Obama button. There were none left at the Democrat's booth so I gave him mine. He was so proud and I started crying. He looked at me and said, "why are you crying? this is a day for glory." I am still crying.
A voting story of a young person from Virginia (on Sullivan) - here's my favorite part:
The exit had a small huddle of college kids offering terrorist fist-bumps and a thanks to everyone as they left. I'd held the door for an older woman to leave in front of me. Glad I did as I got to watch her reaction to the excitement. She couldn't stop giggling at them as she mastered the bump.
