Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Just watched this and am ready to breathe fire. I can't!!!!!! [link]
I just need someone to bait Trump into saying something stupid, preferably today. It shouldn't be that hard!
What's disheartening is how many stupid things he's already said that his supporters just blithely ignore. Or embrace!

True, true. But I do think the Alicia Machado stuff (for example) did hurt him.
ION, I gave blood after work yesterday and forgot to take the band-aid off my finger until this morning, and the skin is still a little weird and wrinkly, three hours later!
I am not liking what I'm seeing on Five Thirty Eight.
Nate Silver has kind of lost it. This is a good piece about why his predictions are so wildly different from other places like Princeton: [link]

I do have the jitters that something HUGE is going to be dropped today. It's the last weekend before the election, so if there's going to be the bombshell to end all bombshells, it's going to be today. I'm just hoping it's about Trump.
More importantly, I'm going to make election cake this weekend, and was going to use dark rum to soak the fruit in, because I have it around and also it's American. That will still be delicious, right? Even though the recipes call for whisky or other?

Yes, this. It's so scary.
My coodinator just emailed all the freelancers to tell us that the AMA is giving the employees an extra hour of paid time off today to attend the Cubs parade. That's awesome.
I have a dentist appointment and yet another Comcast appointment today, so no parade for me.
I have never drunk rum. I want to buy a bottle of rum. (Mostly so, some day, in 15 years, I can say, "Why is the rum gone?") What kind of rum should I buy, and how should I drink it? (I am serious about the 15 years thing. Last week I finished a bottle of Chivas we inherited when mr. flea's grandparents died in 2001. Note that it was not full when we inherited it.)
