Big ass snow flakes silently falling down outside. It's very pretty and I don't have to drive anywhere. I think I'll light some candles and incense.
Maybe I've always been here.

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

Or like the Seattle area transit cards. Of course, since they are ORCA cards as "one regional card for all" I always think of them in my head as "one card to rule them all", even if that would be OCRA instead.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And Obama won Hispanic voters by 44 percent -- 72 percent Obama to 28 percent Romney
Does anyone know what the Hispanic numbers were like in 2008?

Interesting. I'm curious about what might have changed between now and then--obviously people have had a chance to see what Obama's like in office, but I'm also curious about demographics that might have been increasingly alienated over the past year by GOP shenanigans--are Hispanics feeling more uncomfortable? Are women clenching their knees and telling them to get away from their uteruses?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita,
yes. What is interesting too is that in Missouri, Akin was polling below McCaskill, but he lost in a bigger landslide than was anticipated. A polling specialist seemed to think that some women on the phone said they were voting for Akin and changed their minds at the polls.
