Calli: I get ads saying not to vote for the House incumbent because he went to college where he learned to hate America. Just like Obama. Hand to Gaia, the ad literally says that.
billytea: It's a surprisingly popular major!
And still more about the silly season:
Teppy: I DEEPLY resent seeing both political ads AND Christmas commercials. I'd like to get through politician-buying season before I start buying Christmas presents.
In Natter:
Dana: Nothing quite like getting a collect call from a jail. No, I don't know who it was, and no, I didn't accept the charges.
Tom Scola: Scratches Dana off the list.
Dana: Well, Tom, next time you have to enunciate. Being arrested is no excuse.
In Natter:
Steph L.: I'm going to get up early tomorrow and vote before work, in the hopes the lines aren't too long. I'll take a book and food.
tommyrot: Also, bring:
(You beat me to it, Tom!) Heh!!
Hec outlines the penalty for a "wrong" vote, in Natter. and there are also lots of people with different priorities who are making different choices based on the best information they have.
Well their priorities are wrong and they should feel bad. They should wake up the day after they voted, and think, "What the fuck was I thinking? I don't hate women. Why did I do that? Jesus, I suck." And then they should feel queasy all day and have a restless sleep for two weeks, getting haggard and red-eyed. And when they try to tell their friends that they were sorry they should face scorn! "Too fucking late now, man! Too fucking late." And they should not be invited to parties and sit alone at home trying to play Halo but nobody wants to play with them. Because of the shunning and the scorn.
Deena in Bitches:
Quick funny before I go to bed. We were talking about the election over dinner, and we had this conversation:
Kara: I don't want Mitt Romney to win because he won't let me have children.
Me: Why wouldn't Mitt Romney let you have children?
Kara: I heard it on his ads. He's going to end planned parenthood!
Me: um....I do not think this means what you think this means...explain, explain, explain
Kara: Oooooh. I still don't like Mitt Romney.
tommyrot: Someone on Kos suggested he's being petty--he wants to delay Obama's victory speech until 3 AM or something.
Matt the Bruins fan: Yeah, not gonna work too well since Obama's not the one who can't drink caffeine.
Hec: hope Obama enters like James Brown.
Billytea:I hope he enters like Omar.
