I think they killed my dog

How lame are the Coleman team’s ballot challenges? This lame:

The problem? They’re insisting that all ballots marked for McCain-Palin and Franken are suspect because who the hell would vote that way?

I’m starting to believe that Franken just might win this thing. Latest counts range from Coleman up by 115-120 votes. We’re about half way through, but the second half will drag into December.

Enjoy. 

Phoenix Woman: Is That Toast I Smell?

Norman channels Stuart Smalley: “I’m a winner”

Norman: I was tired and didn’t know the numbers when I said Franken should concede

Doug Grow: Counting through the weekend

Barkley: Fitting end to the worst campaign in Minnesota history (sour grapes from the loser who couldn’t gain traction despite the two worst candidates in Minnesota history being his opponents)

In keeping with national trends, things aren’t going well for Saxby Chambliss either. He grabbed a camera when a reporter asked him about his shady dealings with Imperial Sugar. 

Not cool dude, not cool. Then again it must have chafed when reporters started digging into Chambliss’s first and very suspicious win. Not to mention the Imperial Sugar shit.

I think Martin’s chances are looking pretty damned good, assuming Diebold doesn’t install any more special patches.

If Saturday Night Live doesn’t do a skit on this they should be replaced by Korean animators. I love that dude killing the turkeys.

How badly are Republicans behaving? Justice Thomas just gave cert to Leo Donofrio’s bullshit challenge to both McCain and Obama’s citizenship/eligibility to be President.

I like Maha’s take on Obama’s personnel decisions.

 

 It’s going to be the Clinton Administration all over again, one [person] said, gloomily.

I let that comment swish around in my mind awhile, wondering if this individual has noticed that the past eight years have been a lot worse than the Clinton Administration. But since then I’ve heard a couple of bobbleheads on television say the same thing. Tweety Matthews in particular seems certain that alleged Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will take over the administration and run the world from her office in the State Department.

I doubt this will happen. I think if there’s one thing we’ve seen about Barack Obama during his campaign, is that he’s the guy in charge. And Obama appears to be a guy who can get everyone on his team moving as a team toward a common goal. No hotdogging. I think he’s picking strong people for cabinet positions with the expectation that they will be effective agents of his policies. Secretary of State Clinton will not be a free agent.

I could be wrong, but I’m betting that by June no one will be talking about a rerun of the Clinton Administration. 

 

There’s a huge difference between politics and administration, politicking and policy. I’m confident that Obama knows what he’s doing. He will get things done, and unlike the past 40 years, we won’t cringe when he does.

Besides, Hillary will make a great Secretary of State.

Another blog fortune telling site. This one purports to analyze your site in an effort to tell you more about yourself. Here’s what they told me:

 

ISTP – The Mechanics

The independent and problem-solving type. They are especially attuned to the demands of the moment are masters of responding to challenges that arise spontaneously. They generally prefer to think things out for themselves and often avoid inter-personal conflicts.

The Mechanics enjoy working together with other independent and highly skilled people and often like seek fun and action both in their work and personal life. They enjoy adventure and risk such as in driving race cars or working as policemen and firefighters. 

 

I betcha you didn’t know I used to be a cop. I’d forgotten myself but then when I read this it all came back to me. The medical experiments to suppress my memories, the space aliens who assisted with the surgeries, my wife and children from a previous life. 

My god. I think they killed my dog. 

Bastards.

[Note to self: rent Steven Seagal's Hard to Kill and this time take notes.]
