If that's the one about requiring a 3/5 vote on pensions, please vote no.
That's the one, and I was planning to vote OH HELL NO.

Our wings are not tired.
Our schools are closed tomorrow. Which means Bobby can prepare my house for the party!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita,
it has been brought up before, but I really do think you need to speak to a hospital ombudsperson.
you need a hospital sanctioned conclusion to this bullshit since they don't seem to respect your own physicians.
and may I just say: you have insurance. god forbid you didn't. everyone thinks insurance is a panacea and it isn't even that.
sorry for typos and missing words. I am in a 60 hour period of rage-typing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh thanks! I hadn't seen that one.
I think it's actually more statistically sound than 538 (which is nice, because it predicts a minuscule chance of a Romney win). However, Nate Silver's model has two advantages. It's less jittery where individual states are closer to a tipping point, and because he includes a wider array of variables in his model, it's much better for generating commentary.

And in my favorite bit of non-statistically rigorous polling: our local bakery's cookie poll still has Obama ahead (and has for the whole poll, IIRC): [link] The cookie poll has picked the winner correctly of every election they've been doing it.
I BELIEVE THE COOKIES.
(No, seriously, y'all: every day I check 538, the Princeton site, and the cookie poll site. For realsies.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm with Steph--Five Thirty eight has been my happy place for a while, and then when billytea linked to the Princeton site I had two happy places.
