'Potential'
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.
Fingers crossed on the senate flip.
And really, if Congress does what McCain and McConnell are threatening and refuses to consider a Hillary-nominated SCOTUS candidate, shit will get real.
No shit. This BS "oh but it's an ELECTION YEAR" is one thing...but if Hilary is elected I hope Obama pulls the current nom and says "Oh just you wait...she's nominating someone SUPER LEFTY"
It is not out of the realm of possibility that both chambers flip, especially if DJT continues his slash and burn campaigning. That would be amazing; flip side, no one has any excuses as to why shit doesn't get done. I'm side-eyeing Congress in particular.
I just saw an interview with some people in Pennsylvania. One person for HRC, 2 for Stein, and one guy who's Trump all the way but he's not gonna bother voting because the whole thing's rigged.
Sounds like you might end up meeting them sooner, Maria!
What a shock -- my coworker is no longer interested in the boring task we were doing this morning, so she's dumping it all on me, while also telling me how to do my job.
Have I mentioned how super-sad I am not to be in the office? Soooooper sad.

I'd like to see HRC appoint Obama to the SC. Hey, it was good enough for William Taft.
I am in New Orleans and stuck in all-day meeting that started at 7:30AM, yay!
Welcome! Personally, I think that wandering around New Orleans is a perfectly valid use of time in lieu of boring symposia.
I miss my MIT health plan like whoa. no copays, cheap prescriptions, flex account, off site referrals didn't come with any major money - even for my sleep study and various cat scans and ultrasounds and MRIs to try and figure out my weird stomach issues. Got hammered for crazy MRI cost (around $750) a couple years ago with my shoulder issues.
I wonder if things are still as awesome there, or if they've been moving up the scale of suck with the passage of time too.
What Plei said/asked above. I've recently read some very reassuring things about quality of health care in Canada.
You can always find people with complaints, especially coming off a conservative government that's been trying to slash funding and stir up discontent. No Canadian I've ever met would get within a mile of the US system.
I have voted! Now I'm on my way to a salon for a Madam President mani-pedi and a glass of champagne. (Was going to do it the other way around but time was tight and I didn't want to risk missing voting today.)
