Oh thank GOD for Jon Stewart. I really needed this show...

Ha! I just posted the same thing. :)

I am laughing SO hard and I don't know if it's because

1) it's genuinely that funny
2) I'm a little drunk
3) I'm slightly hysterical

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

I'm dying over here. Too Funneh!

[evil-erato.livejournal.com]

No kidding. I'm biting my nails over here when I'm not laughing at the Daily Show...

[musikologie.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. I think I would have gone insane if I had to watch another straight hour of network election coverage.

2) I'm a little drunk

I'm watching Jon Stewart, and this sounds like a good idea!

*Goes to get beer.* Perhaps the Gnomes of Zurich will join me!

Jon on Obama 88%, Keyes 10%: Clearly, 10% of the people in Illinois wear tinfoil hats and diapers.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SO TRUE!!!!!!!1!111!!!!!!!!

Oh gosh, Al Sharpton is a gift to comedy news! So is William Weld for that matter. "Gnomes of Zurich?" Did he really say that?

[zorb]

*waits for gnome icons to appear*

I HATE that I don't have Comedy Central.

*writhes in agony*

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

Someone please explain the gnomes of Zurich to me?

[longtimegone]

Dude, Jon Stewart OWNZ me. I am trying to wind down to go to bed, and that's just what I needed.

It helps, particularly the ending. Seriously, I want to weep here. I want to leave Ohio and huddle in one of the blue states. This is just...I really thought Kerry had a chance.

It's knowing that I have to face my aunt and uncle, both rabidly pro-Bush, both who think that homosexuality is an abomination. Ohio will get their stupid marriage amendment and I can't do a damned thing about it. And the next time I see them, they will smirk and there is nothing I will be able to say without looking childish and stupid.

This is so very, very disappointing.

Honestly, I don't think there is any explanation.:-)

Oh, God. YES. He totally relieved tension when it came to this election. Too bad it didn't last longer.

But now it's back to regular network coverage. :x
Their continual reporting makes me more nervous than I already am.

I don't have it either. No cable at all. I get two networks, pbs and a local fox affiliate. I never should have left Florida.

love him almost as much as this bottle of wine by my side...

My thought: For the 2008 election...instead of spending $3 billion to get elected...pay Democrats in CA, NY, IL, PA to move to FL, maybe OH (it's still too close to call), AZ, NV, CO... :-)

Yes, I do think that the hurricanes and Jeb Bush's response to it hurt Kerry in Florida. Unfortunately, GWB is no Jeb.

Finally, I am embarassed that fear (of terrorists - even though NY has the most to fear went overwhelming for Kerry) and bigotry (yes, I understand, but religious intolerance is why we're fighting against Islamic Fundamentalists and religous bigotry is still bigotry - i.e. the social conservative turnout thinking they can deny another American's Civil Right's and we allowing it) has decided a Presidential Election. I don't see George being the type of individual who can heal this.

Floridian relocation

[redina]

Actually, I was thinking leaving Florida and moving back to Illinois (where I was born) might be a good idea. {g}

Re: Floridian relocation

[plaidphoenix.livejournal.com]

A word of advice, don't. I did that and I think I was better off where I was. Just a general thing that I think I was happier there. But that's me.

I visited Chicago again back in... 2002? I liked it there because it helped overcome some of my current handicaps in transportation... and I actually went somewhere other than work, supply shopping, and home.

YMMV, indeed.

Plus, even though I lose feeling in my fingers and toes in the cold, my skin's complexion does better in the dry air because I have oily skin and Florida's heat and humidity doesn't help. Not having to worry about powdering your face every half hour (save money on make-up) or washing your face 5-6 times a day (or else I start resembling Tom Felton's face =:-o ) is an added bonus. :-) Fourteen years of going through 'puberty' is getting a tad bit... old for me.

I *totally* sympathize with Snape's 'greasy git' status when you spend 1/5 of your day wondering if you look like an Exxon disaster.

Heidi... I don't have the money to emigrate. [bites lip]

Odd Electronic Voting

[redina]

I voted but there was this one odd thing... I pressed the option for Kerry and Bush was selected. I had to keep on pressing the Kerry option for it to be electronically selected, which none of the other choices did that.

I thought... okay, whatever, my final listing showed Kerry anyway.

Then I watched the news and someone else in a nearby city reported the same problem.

Maybe we can flee to cuba?

I watched Jon's show and didn't watch any more election coverage because I knew in my gut it was over. I knew my daughter would call me first thing in the morning either way. He is still so funny, even when he is obviously as devastated as the rest of us.
