Now tagless for your comfort.

We've got Charter, too, and they really fucked up. We're already pissed they sent us a notice they were increasing our already GINORMOUS cable bill. We're cutting some features.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Comedy Central and Charter Cable are on my shit list. Charter decided not to air the Jon Stewart special live but time delayed it until 10 Pacific time...and then Charter's feed was all screwed up, so at 10 it was halfway through a Scrubs episode that went into Futurama at 10:12. Seriously??? Comedy Central, in the meantime, did not provide the live feed it had promised, and the video is still not available on their site. I really, really wanted to watch Jon Stewart tonight, especially given the way things fell out, and I'm genuinely bummed that I couldn't do that.

Add Comcast to that list of fuckups.

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

And Time Warner. Same thing. Kristen and I went apeshit.

I'm biting my nails on 8.

Did Comedy Central really screw up *all* of the West Coast?

I really wanted to watch them too. My tv says that it reairs at the top of the hour but it also says it's showing now, so...

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

With all due respect to the results, which I'm so damn happy about, I'd wish the local news here would give more information about this.

I'm beginning to be really worried.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I looked at the exit poll stuff on Prop 8 on Cnn.com. It seems...um...crazy. And antithetical, for the most part. Young people? More likely to be against than older? BWHAHUH? College-educated vs. non, too? Am I reading it wrong?

I don't GET it. Why are people so threatened by this?

Compassionately intolerant

Oh wait. One last thought before I really, truly go to bed.

That lovely photo of the Obama family pinged something that might seem inconsequential but really struck me hard.

They eschewed the tacky redwhiteblue of fake patriotism in their outfits that I've seen on every single winning politician I think I've ever watched.

Clothes don't make the man, to be sure. But refusing to bow to prescribed traditions is so refreshing, I can't adequately describe how I felt when I realized it.

It's as if there is no curtain to look behind anymore. Wow. Does that even make sense?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Why, on earth, half of the comments in Israel about the results seems to think Obama is Muslim? Still? Seriously?

People...

Where do they say that?

Art Crawl!!!

So, Blago gets to pick a Senator AND a congressman. Rahm Emmanual has accepted the position as uh Chief of Staff (I think, I was only halfway paying attention.)
