Always Anti-fascist!

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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]

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Governor limited early voting hours, that coupled with a long ballot produces this situation.

Scott (governor) also wanted thousands of voters purged from the list and Republican SOS in counties refused to comply and they quit rather than go against what they thought was right.

Scott is evil.
