Some local elections are non-party here (or at least they are in Somerville). I think historically everyone is a Democrat, but some are really more conservative than others.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

I really liked "Bottle Shock", though it wasn't brilliant. It might have made a cute pilot,although you probably couldn't get Alan Rickman for a dramedy pilot.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sophia asked about voting in NYC. There is a list of poll changes. If you have someone to spread it to, please do!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I keep trying to force myself to do something other than play games on my ipad all day, but so far it is only working for about 25 minutes at a time.
At least very small sections of my house are getting neatened.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's the only way I can get anything done, Lee. Small bits at a time.

Let me say, from the great state of Ohio, that Jon Stewart's piece on Swing State HELL is right on the goddamn money. I am about to shoot my telephone. I may not turn the TV on until Tuesday night. Except the Simpsons and Bob's Burgers are on FOX tonight. What a dilemma.

I have been wondering if Netflix and iTunes have been seeing a sharp increase in customers from Ohio and Florida over the past couple of months.

We're not a swing state but we've got a ton of competitive House races so its been pretty ghastly.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
OMG, tommmyrot and aurelia. I can't believe it took that long to vote yesterday! I early voted last Sunday (yes, my place was open on Sunday morning). I walked in, voted, and walked out in less than 10 minutes.
I think if I'd managed to get my ass over there early in the day it wouldn't have taken as long. I don't like that early voting is only on the touch screen machines with no option for a paper ballot. Touch screen takes longer for me just because my fingers are too cold to register. I have to keep rubbing my fingers on my jeans before each selection. That plus 3 pages of judges makes voting the ballot take some time.
So what's up with Florida? Aside from pushback on voter suppression what is leading to 7 hour lines? I know the ballot is long. Are they using the touchscreens? Do they have too few in each location? With paper ballots it's pretty easy to set up a folding table with chairs and cardboard box screens if you need to add stations.
And why is Romney deploying dirigibles in Ohio? [link]
