One of my favorite things about the election is the fact that Florida was such a valuable prize, courted and fussed over, and we didn't even need it to close the deal. Like the prom queen who's still fussing over her hair when it's time to go and when she finally comes down the stairs to greet her adoring public, the limo left already and everyone else is at the afterparty.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hee, and we totally deserved it too.

I've found that the day after the election when someone asks what you think of the results, it's always safe to reply "I'm so glad it's over".
I think one reform that a lot of people could support would be to limit the time candidates can campaign. The way things are now, it's as much a matter of stamina as it is a candidate's position.

They keep talking 2016! Stop it! Please give us a break already.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Absolutely. And how in the name of all things holy do we wrest the power of redistricting out of partisan hands?

NO SHIT, Laura! I am exhausted.
I want to read about vampires and pretty men and women and baby animals for a while. The election sucked up my brains and ramped my anxiety WAY too much.

Ohio had a measure on the ballot this election to try to do just that -- it would have established a commission of citizens, in an even mix of republicans, democrats, and independents, who would have determined how the districts were to be drawn.
It wasn't a perfect proposal -- there were issues with the blank check they'd basically be given, and there was no procedure in place to remove any member of the commission -- but better than what we have now.
So of course it lost.

TCG finally got home from his meeting shortly after I posted, and he took the day off of work today so we are being lazy this morning.
I kinda love the attention and adoration that has been bestowed upon Nate through this process. He certainly was my life raft in moments of doubt.
And once again I agree with Laura. I loved the Keep Calm and Check Nate Silver's Blog meme that was going around right before the election.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I had to come in early this morning to fire someone for the second week in a row. Thank Dog this is the last of these for what I hope is a long while.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, Scrappy. I am so sorry. That sucks all the way around.
