    Apparently IA, WI, and OH is all Obama needs to clinch victory, assuming all the non-swing states vote the norm.
    Yeah, I agree. But there were rumblings that MN was in swing state territory, so I figured I better take it seriously, just in case it was true.

        Was tempting, but I did select between Turd Sandwich and Giant ******.

        I think what really kind of irked me was that for a lot of the offices, there was only one person running for those positions. You would think that one of the other Minor Parties would be smart and at least have somebody else to challenge whoever else is running for reelection. Even if it's just county dogcatcher.

                    mookie got five votes from me at 940a this morning. of the six options there was only one contested (scott brown vs pocohantas) on my ballot.

                        I know there's no math in here, but rules are only made to be broken.

                        I bought a bottle of Delsym (the cough suppressant found in Dayquil and generics of the like, but removing all the other functions), and I open the package for dosing instructions and such. The bottle is 89mL. The dosing instructions are for 10mL. What the hell?

                          Forces you to a) overpay for 80ml or b) buy 9 more 89ml bottles.
