I have seen Nate Silver interviewed multiple times and seen his growth. He was kind of bad at it around 2008, but he has come to his own up to this year. He has been great over the past month or so. Classic geek - which is the kind of thing I find endearing.

tommy,

I'm not sure I have the heart to quote the vileness of RL, but check out tom tomorrow's twitter feed. He's covering it.

Dooo eeet, msbelle. That's a nice one--has a bit of an art deco feel to it.

Thanks Maria, I think I will - AND use the b.org affiliate link so $$ for the board.

Nate Silver talking about statistics and polls reminds me of Owen talking about Legos and movies.

I love this page [link] of reactions--they would not have been happy with Romney much either--Obama just makes us a bit closer to the end times, but we're up a creek no matter which of the major parties is in it with us. So crazy there's no requirement to react.

Wow. That is...a LOT of racism.

Hahahahaha! My conservative cousins are now talking about moving to Italy--where their sister is living with her husband stationed in the Navy. I was quick to point out that they have universal health care and strict gun control. And that their last prime minister was indicted for tax fraud and bribery.

Convicted!

oh, can someone look up stock prices on US gun manufactures and/or ammunition manufacturers. Are there any fully made in US anymore?

I'd bet on a rise in stock for the next year. I wanna get in on the wakkaloon paranoia.

Stayed home from work today because I worked until 3AM. Seemed like working in my jammies was the best plan. Wish I could actually sleep during the day, but no.

Anyway, since I have been working in front of the tube it has been lovely to be overloaded with political news, but super concerning to watch the weather issues in the NE. My heart just breaks for those displaced by Sandy. What a continuing mess.
