Lucero bender

Yeah, Illinois ain't going for Mittens. Ohio, perhaps. Really depends on turnout at this point.

yeah, that was about as bad as it gets.

The fed is responsible for it amirite, Sparky?

adios, NYC.

Holy fucking a -- what a game! Giants sweep, awesome!

Developing a huge man crush on Sergio Romo the more I read about him... the interview during game 2 didn't hurt, either. Seems like a real fun guy to hang out with; really laid back and relaxed.

Well, yeah the pro/con arguments are certainly biased. But the independent analysis is very neutral and fact-based. Just realized they have it online; you can see what I'm talking about: http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/propositions/ I just don't see why this isn't the norm everywhere. A well-informed electorate is the backbone of democracy, no?

Living in a state that "doesn't matter" for the pres race (CA, in my case) is disappointing, but I still vote. There's always big crap going on in Sacramento and dozens of props to consider. Speaking of which, I'm curious... in the state where you reside, do they offer voter information pamphlets? In CA, we get a sample ballot and voter information packet that's probably 30-40 pages long where every state and local initiative is explained w/ the pro argument, the con argument, and rebuttals to each. And you get to see who's supporting each side. It's really useful. I've always taken it

Just trust him. It'll all work out in the end. But rest assured that nothing you care about will be cut.

Along those lines, I've always been creeped out by the subject matter of this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsRP_RiuqMY

^ wrong thread or a delightfully random commentary on this one?

Econ 101

very, very cool. I don't have the time to put that much into Halloween decorations, but I definitely enjoy a nicely spooked out house. now my kids on the other hand...

It was actually quite entertaining. Not very presidential at times, but good theater.

[the sound of everyone off to ignore Sparky now]

Agree. He launched himself over the base and should have been called for it. It's one thing to go in hard, but you need to at least make contact with the dirt in front of the bag.

Cool pictures. We had company in town and completely forgot that this was the weekend of the move. I guess we'll just have to see it at the museum exhibit.

some dreadfully bad photoshop there.

91% Obama, 10% Romney. Shocker.
