ELECTION NIGHT

Posted on | by Ed

No morning post, because I'll be devoting the vast majority of Election Night to liveblogging. So, you know, if you get tired of listening to Wolf Blitzer or you need to see some election discussion peppered with dick jokes and profanity, make G&T your election night home. You're probably going to need to swear.

    I'll look forward to it. I'm not sure what bb was talking about in the last post. Shit I don't want to have Republicans win… I do concur with whoever it was in the last posts who commented about the lurching of different ideologies/parties every 2 years. See you tomorrow at some point.

    One of my professors said, "I used to invite all my grad students over to watch the election, but I tend to get so angry that it's best I'm not around other people".

  • eau says:

    @Neal – Is there anything left to say after the headline "Dick Unloads in Hunting Buddy's Face"?

    Can't remember where I read that, but i do remember that I very nearly soiled myself.

  • anotherbozo says:

    Oh goodie, I'll be here. Something about Wolf Blitzer gets me swearing before I've even heard what he wants to say…

  • marismae says:

    Since my daughter will not allow us to watch anything other then Nick Jr… I'll be here. Lurking, probably :)

  • Expatriesse says:

    I'll be over here…weeping for my country. I haven't felt this depressed before an election since 2004.

  • Chris says:

    I would just like to state that I voted against Mike Pence a.k.a. giant douche today: it was one of the greatest moments in my life.

    @Parrotlover77: checked out the website. It was great to have it all listed in one place. Now I know why the republicans/teabaggers hate Obama so much – look at all the things he's done for the most vulnerable and needy. Compared to all that "socialism", guess he's done very little (other than the bailouts) to enrich those who are already rich or the wannabe rich.

    A little ray of hope and sunshine. What the hell? Those who enjoy the movie Idiocracy should perhaps take a moment to realize that, fortunately for us, IQ is only partially determined by genetics. Otherwise, we'd still be banging rocks together and catching our fur on fire.

    If you want to see real Idiocracy in action, go read a history book. Just one fucking psychotic after another. Just an undending parade of massive dipshittery as far as the eye can encompass. Sargon, Alexander the Great, Xerxes, Caesar, Charlemagne, Napolean, Hitler, Stalin, Douggie MacArthur, Bush, jr, Evil Cyborg Killbot Cheney etc.etc. you name it.

    As the youngsters say, not only epic fail, but stupendous colossal galactic fail. On the part of not only them, but the glorified chimp stooges and cronies and all the gappy-toothed, squinch-brained, narrow-pated populi that put up with their shit.

    Old Jimmy Madison may not quite have been Wile. E. Coyote supergenius smart, but he was at least savvy enough to realize that the greatest enemy of democracy is the people. tha tis why things are set up to avoid, if possible, not the tyranny of government (they were the govt) but the tyranny of the majority.

    The cool thing is, since the universe itself changes from day to day, and so is automatically Liberal, the majority also changes.

    that is our only hope. Things change. Whether you want them to or not. It is inevitable. I do not count on youngsters for change. I count on them to keep their balance.

    Now stay the fuck off my lawn!

    What he said.

  • John says:

    I dunno about the swearing so much, Ed. I already know Republicans are going to win a number of seats because they've waged a successful campaign of "Democrats didn't fix the problems we caused in two years, therefore they are bad". That doesn't surprise me.

    The only races that would make me swear would be cases like Delaware and Nevada. And in those cases, it's not so much swearing as leaving a country that is clearly doomed with no hope of salvage.

  • J. Dryden says:

    I did my part. My in-laws and I don't…get along. Yet they live in Nevada. And so I phoned up and begged and cajoled them into voting for, as I was forced to put it, "the much, much lesser of two evils." Seriously, watch what happens to the hairs on the back of your neck when you read this:

    Senator Sharon Angle

    Spooky, wasn't it?

  • comrade x says:

    Apparently swing voters are going to throw the dems out… like they threw out the Republicans two years earlier.
    The more people are stupid, the more things stay the same.

  • Hobbes says:

    Voted for Russ Feingold this morning. Here's hoping many of my fellow Wisconsinites did the same, or that bottle of wine on my kitchen counter is going to be gone come tomorrow morning.

  • anotherbozo says:

    Maybe the special session here tonight deserves a name. ("The Ed Show' is taken) How about one of the following?

    "Ship of Fools" – no lifeboats, might as well enjoy the ride down
    "Confederacy of Dunces" – the US of A
    "Parliament of Whores" – Congress, more specifically

    OK, I'm not a wit. other suggestions?

  • Fifth Dentist says:

    Fuck, I think I'll just start that fucking swearing shit now. (I'm working so I can't start drinking and yelling at the TV yet).
