Hearing all the figures for money spent on elections, I wonder how that breaks down in the economy. printing? ad buys? consultants? what gets the most money? And how have these long election cycles helped those industries?

Oil companies for fuel for the planes, etc?

Msbelle the biggest expense is television air time.

Also, $6 billion for the election. $8billion spent on Halloween this year. It's all perspective.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dammit, I can't get ElectoralVote.com to load. Anyone have a good site to follow updates?

I think I just threw up in my mouth a lot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Someone I know on Twitter is watching the election returns with her 3 year old, who is hopped up on candy:

flea, I follow that same person. Her tweets tonight are giving me a much needed happy.
