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

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

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

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.

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.

Our wings are not tired.
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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
moving to Italy
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! Oh wait, they're serious. They do realize the unemployment rate is in double digits (10.8%), and it will take them 10 years to become a citizen, but first they have to be a legal resident AND have to prove sufficient financial resources and no criminal record. And if they move anywhere south of Rome, the unemployment rate jumps to 15-20%.
That may be OK though, because unemployment benefits are GUARANTEED by the constitution.
Tom, he was convicted, but he still has a mandatory two appeals left. The sentence won't become final until they're done. He'll probably never serve a day in jail, because there's only 1 year left on the statute of limitations and his lawyers will tie up the system for far longer than that. The Italian justice system is barely functioning at the best of times. This isn't unusual.

Wow. That is...a LOT of racism.
Yeah. Also, I want to know what the guy ranting about the government poisoning us with chemicals was on about. I assume not about protecting the Clean Water Act. Is this a flouride thing?
