t's still less than Americans spent on Halloween this year ($8 billion).
Yes, and 60% of that was me: buying and having all this candy for no trick or treaters.
Happy Election day everyone. Our fresh hell will be over soon.

Happy Election Day everyone! I plan on checking in here often, elsewhere not so often. Esp as the day wears on. At least we already voted absentee, and yes, neurotically checked to make sure our ballots were in.

I'm so glad I voted last week! Thank goodness for the permanent absentee ballot option.
Lemme see, if the polls in Ohio close at 7:30PM, that's 5:30PM PST, and if I go climbing from 7-9PM, I might still make it home in time to hear them call the election.
I was planning to stay in and watch Stewart & Colbert, but my climbing partner's schedule changed, and maybe the gym will be half-empty with everyone at home watching the results.

I appear to be choosing my City Treasurer based on the candidates' favorite books. Masters of Rome vs the Bible.
-t, that makes perfect sense to me! Although I shouldn't want the City Treasurer to use Roman politicking as a go-by, if you catch my drift...

A CNN editorial: America's voting system is a disgrace
You did not say that it was written by David Frum! It's shocking to me how many voices on the Right have been purged from the party, and then once purged suddenly they develop a much more nuanced analysis.

I think it has to be that tunnel-vision, one-issue thing. People are willing to pretend that he doesn't really mean what he says about women or birth control or Planned Parenthood, because they like what he's promising about ... something else.
I honestly have no idea which way Romney would flip-flop on any given issue, except tax breaks for the wealthy and less government-subsidized help for the needy. THOSE issues he has rock solid positions on.
My dad says global warming isn't a problem because it's happened before.
And I'm sure the shrew-like mammals hiding under roots to escape the dinosaurs were really happy about it!
