Good news. My friends Mr. and Mrs. Noz have succeeded on appeal and will be bringing home a wonderful baby boy from Kazakhstan. Another couple (friends of ours) finally saw a heartbeat on their ultrasound today after many sad setbacks and frustrations. So, this day may not turn out so badly after all. That ABC News decided not to use Andrew Breitbart as an “analyst” is another piece of good news.
We really only have one hope today and that is that we have really high turnout that was not anticipated in the polls. I am getting mixed signals on turnout. It appears to be higher than expected in most places, but what is crucial is where it’s higher. The polls close in twenty-five minutes in Kentucky and Indiana. Look for the results in Rep. Ben Chandler’s (D-KY) and Baron Hill’s (D-IN) races to give you a clue about how the House is going. Obviously, we’ll be interested to see the early returns in the Rand Paul/Jack Conway race. The Indiana Senate race is a lost cause, but we’ll have that confirmed for us.
From the headline I was expecting: I just switched to Geico and saved a load of cash on car insurance.
Congrats to the Noz’s
Congrats to the happy family!
That is good news.
Just heard Louisville Courier-Journal on Sirius/XM POTUS channel basically say Conway’s fucked thanks to the Aqua Buddha ad.
We’ll see.
He might be, but it’s not because of that ad.
He was the underdog to begin with.
I kept hoping that the $2000 deductable would do Conway some good, but apparently all the old morons in KY want to pay more money for Medicare coverage.
Congrats to both families!
Your whole political world implodes and all you have to say is “Good news. My friends Mr. and Mrs. Noz have succeeded on appeal and will be bringing home a wonderful baby boy from Kazakhstan.”
That “wonderful baby boy” will grow up in a RatPub lynching culture if we are not very lucky.
Mr. + Mrs. Noz better hope he’s a blonde Kazakh or else Sarah Palin will have him in concentration camps before he’s 12.
Bet on it.

First, I wrote that before the polls closed.
Second, where’s your humanity?
Third, thanks for improving my mood.
as I watch the beginnings of fascism raise their ugly head in this country.
Watch.
Humanity?
You have a young son?
Put some money away for flight if it gets much worse.
I got yer “humanity.” Right there.
Watch, brother.
It’s coming if we do not get our shit together.
Watch.

Still, don’t act like a child and bitch at me for being happy for my friends. That’s lame.
Look away at your own peril, Booman. You have been looking away for almost the entire time that I have been involved in this blog. I have said “Wake the fuck up” over and over again. And you continue to fool yourself.
Sorry, brother.
You, you friends, your son, your wife, me, my son and everybody fucking else is at total risk here.
Look away at all of our risks.
I will not be silenced.

Still no reason to be a dick. And I think I am one of the few progressive bloggers to spend the last year asking my brethren to WTFU about the threat we were facing. I assume that’s why you read this blog. So save the lectures.
Over and over again I read you parsing between unacceptable and totally unacceptable candidates, landing on the side of the least unacceptable every time.
Now we reap the whirlwind. And you blame me for pointing this out!!!???
WTFU.

No, I blame you for criticizing me for celebrating some good news in my personal life on a dismal day. Read slower and you might understand.

Ditto here:
People actually listen to this kind of music in a healthy society.
Not necessarily a rich one. Just one that is connected to a certain kind of reality.
Heart music.
Time music.
Mind music.
Soul music.
Is your friend’s adopted Kazahk child going to have the opportunity to listen to God sounding through man? Man playing to the Universe?
Or is he/she going to live in society where the so-called culture is dictated by vultures like Sarah Palin and Warner Brothers Inc?
Listen slower and you might understand, goddamnit!!!
