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

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Senate - I think that 57 seats is likely, but 60 is a possibility. I am very curious to see how the Alaskan Senate race goes - Uncle Ted might still be able to squeak by, but he might not. That's quite possibly where the 60th Dem seat will come from.
Not matter what, AK will go for McCain. Of course.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just had a meeting with someone who was talking about what we can expect if McCain wins. I was like, but he won't!! She was like, we don't know that...
Eek!!!

The children in my office--some of whom wouldn't be able to vote if they hadn't lowered the voting age to 18--are complaining, "They're only voting for Obama so they can have free welfare." I don't want to engage with that much silliness, so I ignore them. If Obama wins, I'm getting a picture to put up in my cubicle.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
"They're only voting for Obama so they can have free welfare."
I take it they don't know about the existing welfare program (which is already free)?
Facepunch.

My dad got a call from the Dems in DE reminding him to vote for Biden for his senate seat as well as for VP. I guess they assume people may get confused and think they can only vote for him for one or the other.

If Stevens wins and so does Obama, isn't the prevailing thought that he will step down and Palin will take the seat?
Where's the crazy lady who called for an un-American committee from? how's her race looking?
