Obama's said repeatedly that he'd probably have some Republicans in his cabinet. Hagel & Lugar are likely candidates.

I'm interested in seeing whether anyone who supported the bailout got spanked for it.

Tinklenberg

I read this as Tinkleberg and laughed and laughed.

If any of you were here in person right now, I would be sputtering and shrieking about the Annenberg Challenge, and how it could not be more mainstream, but I will refrain.

You guys have all seen how cute Google is today, yes?

I am leaving to have a drink with one of the friends I missed last night due to dumb brain. YAY for re-scheduling. And that means I'll get a drink in me before watching the returns - also good.

Timelies all!

Left work a little early to vote, since one of the post-docs said she waited three hours to vote. No lines at all at my polling place.

I take it they don't know about the existing welfare program (which is already free)?

Oh, but Obama is going to make it even easier for lazy poor people to do nothing but sit on their butts and take hard working people's money away from them.

Such fun to talk to such people and ask them if they think my disabled husband wouldn't much rather be working for a living. But I only do that to people I don't have to see every day.

I'm going to make zucchini bread tonight while the returns come in.

And then drink the champagne* that I did, in fact, buy at lunchtime. (I bought a split of Mumm Napa brut. The Boy doesn't drink alcohol, and I could never drink a whole bottle of champagne myself, and it's anathema to waste good wine, so I bought a split instead of a bottle.)

*(I'm aware that it's only supposed to be called "champagne" if it's from the Champagne region of France, and everything else is "sparkling wine." But, much like the Kleenex-ification of facial tissues of all brands, I just call all sparkling wine "champagne."

Except Asti. That shit is nasty.)

I'm working from home now, which is good because the puppycam is down.

Huh. ObamaImpeachment.org is already up.
