It's occurred to me that maybe I should have waited until after the election to stop smoking.

Book: He could hurry... a little.

I hear heroin has a calming effect.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Looks like I picked the wrong election cycle to quit sniffing glue.

Only watching TV when it's shows with season passes on my TiVo is an excellent strategy, though

seriously.
my favorite quote on NPR this morning was something like, "there are very few undecided voters at this point, and anyone who is undecuded is unlikely to be watching a foreigh policy debate."
I wish I had more free time so I could volunteer in areas to drive people for early voting and just work on the GOTV in the poorer areas around us. Not that Texas is in play, but it could be a lot more purple that in is.

Good god, I love Charlie Pierce:
My god, Romney actually said that America doesn't install dictators, ignoring the fact that we've had these problems with Iran for 60 years precisely because we overthrew an elected president and installed a friendly dictator whose rule was so bloodthirsty that religious fanatics ran him out, imprisoned our embassy officials, and gave Ben Affleck a chance 30 years later to direct a cool movie. Do we honestly have to count them all off? Somoza? Rios Montt? Pinochet? And, yes, Saddam Hussein. Romney sounded like he was taking history at one of those Jesus-on-a-dinosaur middle schools that "Bobby" Jindal has opened in Louisiana. And yet, this abysmal ignorance may not come to matter a damn.

I am not in pain or anything today, but OMG I just want everyone to STFU and go away. I printed out mandalas to color and I'm buying myself a set of colored pencils at lunch.
Annoying co-worker is loudly talking on the phone. Her work is VERY important. Also she has not slept. Only 1 hour last night and no nore than 5 hours in the last 3 days. There is not that much work in the universe on this stuff, I am pretty confident. IOW, she is annoying. I am starting to lobby to move my desk location.
