Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

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 can't get that website to come up yet - so maybe it's not really a working thing yet or maybe everyone is trying to visit it.

Oof, now that the election is over, I have to go back to focusing on my own life. I am pretty sure I am going to have to cut my cable, to save money. I also anticipate a very cold winter, as I will try not to run up my heating bill too much.
I highly recommend getting a space heater. Mine keeps me toasty warm in the winter without having to heat the 8500 cubic feet I'm not currently occupying.
nytimes.com has a great graphic on the front page that goes through several screens showing how things changed from 2004. What is going on in Arkansas that they are the biggest shift to voting more Republican?
I'd say a combo of Mike Huckabee energizing the Republican base even if he didn't get nominated, a better Republican candidate than in 2000 or 2004, racial prejudice, and a big raised middle finger to people in the coastal states that all-too-frequently act like everything in between is a wasteland populated by extras from Deliverance. Bill Clinton was the last Democrat on the national scene that treated Arkansas residents with respect, and he's from here.

Timelies all!
Happy Birthday CaBil!
Stayed up hear Obama's speech last night, and I'm paying for it today.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
change.gov is still in development -- I think it may have been visible for a bit earlier, but they've password-protected it since it got to be huge news everywhere. (btw, your link in your post is broken; you left off the http-colon-slash-slash part.)

Walter Dean Burnham, the philosopher who coined realignment theory and a liberal through and through, was writing before the 2000 election that he thought the nation was realigning left. Barnes was right that Burnham's heart was broken after 2000 and in 2004, but Burnham's been predicting a realignment this year: [link]

I just got TV Tracker's "Movers & Shakers" email, which lists who has been promoted or moved to a new company. This listing made me laugh:
Barack Obama
Now: President-Elect, United States of America
Was: Senator, United States of America

OK, anyone from Maine familiar with a Moonpie/marshmallow/chocolate-cookie-and-whipped-cream-death-bomb thing called the Wicked Whoopie? One of the techs here just received a box of them in thanks for fixing his system, and I had one. My blood sugar is telling me I'm not allowed to eat for the rest of the week.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Why on earth did I think coming back to work was a reasonable idea?
