I'm watching the election returns. The anchors and correspondents all seem to have this fantasy-driven, wide-eyed look in their eyes. They're approaching something that, one way or the other, is going to be ecstasy. It's like watching someone who's watching porn. Has the term news-gasm been coined yet?
I voted before work, so I guess it’s been counted by now. I don’t feel like I was properly courted for it, though. I should have written in Pedro, or Manny, or Bono, or Bjork. They earned it this year. There are the soccer moms and NASCAR dads—what about iPod dudes? Was there any one gunning for us? Are we merely a disenfranchised chasm? Or did I not hear them because I had my headphones on?

I can't watch this crap on TV. Bad enough I am hitting refresh on my handy AOL election returns map every 30 minutes or so. All this political brewhaha has me so tired this year.
ur vote was a given. jersey is the ignored toxic dump.home of the governors tutu...sopranos and mall rats... we have no credibility eventhough some of us r brilliant...densely populated and what? something like 3 electoral votes? when will those bastions of freakism rid this country of the electoral outdated crap.
well as a patriot who lost too much in 9-11, and many of us did directly or indirectly, i say watch out for clouds that seem like cumulous at first......we r in for a ride that will cost us way more than the bible belt, NRA supporting evangelists bargained for. god bless america and save those of us that dont believe in preemptive strikes against the enemy that wasnt the enemy who we all know is the self professed enemy.
Don't look at me! I'm still stuck on the day after the November 1992 election.
