Palin would not be my first choice for 2012, but she certainly would be the best blogging-wise.
Still haven’t gotten to watch Walking Dead. Maybe tonight, but I know SarahK will want to watch the Rangers – the batting dead.
So what will be your favorite blogs to watch for meltdowns tonight? Daily Kos? LGF? Someone should do a meltdown roundup.
You can lie about Morgan Freeman doing your voicemail message, but if you lie about you campaign ad people are going to find out.
Is rent too damn high? Hasn’t the drop in the housing market driven it down most places?
Can someone explain to me why Palin’s joke is controversial? Or was she dead serious in her statement on Politico?
Bloggers are rising as news sources because people prefer journalists honest about their biases over those who pretend they don’t have them.
Conservatives benefit most from the new media, because they’re more likely to be journalists if they can do it part time.
Once a year, the same hour repeats. Do you know how many lines of code are written to handle that idiotic exception?
It’s not that FOX News isn’t biased and isn’t stupid, it’s just that it’s less so than all the other TV news options. Also, it has RedEye!
I remember when The Soup kept making fun of the stupid things said on RedEye; you think one of the interns would have gotten the point.
I don’t think my generation watches much cable news. If anything interesting happens there, it will show up as a clip online. Of course, gives you a very skewed version of the personalities when you only ever see their most outrageous moments.
I’m not a serial killer who kills other serial killers. I’m you.
Keith Olbermann: “I just want the popular kids to think I’m cool.”
If Olbermann wants Daily Show audience, he should claim he’s been doing a really silly Edward R. Murrow satire this whole time. Get it?
Keith Olbermann, responding to Jon Stewart criticism, committed murder-suicide at MSNBC.
Hope I remember to vote today or I’ll feel pretty stupid.
I’m in Idaho, but my congressional district actually has a competitive race as through some freak occurrence it’s currently held by a Democrat.
No, perversely, rent has increased due to foreclosures. People who were forced out of the homes they never should have been in are now seeking rental units. But, due to the formerly artificially low cost of housing, there are fewer rental units available. The market will adjust (if left alone) – but at least in the short-term there is more demand than supply.
I’m in Pennsylvania. My representative is Todd Platts, who is Republican and has glasses and a nerdy smile. I like him.
Random thought: Ever notice how it’s impossible to find any snack food product from Pepsi to the artificial maple syrup at Wal-Mart that uses the good stuff – sugar – as the sweetener? Instead, it’s always “High Fructose Corn Syrup”. The stuff is junk. It’s actually an inferior sweetener, plus it has chemicals that are thought to impede weight loss (I have anecdotes on that matter) and encourage feelings of hunger. The greatest crime it hath commited is butchery of soda. Once one drinks soda with real sugar and real quality like Boylan’s, I don’t know how one can go back to the syrupy crap you find in most machines. And why has an inferior product replaced a superior one? Long story short, High Fructose Corn Syrup has stolen sugar’s righful place because of high government tariffs on imported sugar and high government subsidies to corn farmers. Remember this, my friends, when guys like Obama and his wife attack the American people for their weight. Note to Obama, maybe your people shouldn’t subsidize bull crap! Note to Boylan’s Bottleworks, please sell your product in Pennsylvania! You’re only in New Jersey and New York, for cying out loud!
Marko,
A few months ago in MD Pepsi sold a limited edition of it’s soda with real sugar. I usually don’t drink soda (unless it’s cut with scotch) but I had to have one. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Not only that, but once a year, an entire hour disappears! I figure if I could slip into that missing hour, I could stop time.
My election day random thoughts:
I wonder how long it will take for Washington State’s “vote by mail” system to be declared “mail fraud?”
Note to Democrats: We’re not “in this together.” You’re on the way out.
Note to Democrats: Hope the door hits you in the butt on the way out.
The best election outcome is gridlock and a Federal shutdown.
The best outcome for stupid people is to die. Get busy, 52%.
There is no safety in numbers. Millions of people can be wrong and usually are.
If you think democracy gives you the right to my wallet, tell me how it feels when your arm comes back a bloody stump, Ok?
Greetings all… just wanted to share that I’m an avid IMAO reader and Nevada voter and have done my part to get rid of Harry Reid!!!!
Ok, so where are the predictions? It’s 10:30AM for god’s sake! Let’s call some winners! They have the exit poll data and should know by now who is winning this thing! I can’t wait to turn on CNN and MSNBC tonight around 5:00 CST. They will all know but won’t be able to say. Let’s just say they will have their dobbers down a bit, possibly?
You joke us not, Frank. I think the Soup people don’t wanna get it (i.e. they are liberals):

Don’t fall for the rumor that conservatives are supposed to vote on Wednesday. A liberal already tried that one on me, but I investigated it and found out that I vote today. When I vote, I plan to write in a vote against blue football fields. It is my understanding that Marko is voting for Nuke the Moon T-shirts even though I tried to explain to him that IMAO is not a democracy.
Burma, the red color scheme of this site just told me the truth. Frank is the Motherland and we are his NKVD.
Quick review of the lib sites: We are winning, er, we will take the house and senate and kremilin, er, ah, Sarah Palin is secretly running each polling place, er, ah, never mind, let’s get drunk. Blame it on Booosh. IIIEEE Teabaggers are coming to get us !!!!
They are in stampede. Or is that STAMPede?
The Walking Dead in on tonignt on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNn, PMSNBC, and NPR.
I would suggest that you only watch MSNBC in small doses tonight.
You really can OD on schadenfreude.
I’m not sure that’s a ‘freak occurrence’. I’ve recently been paying attention to the supposedly ‘good’ states up there in your neighborhood because they keep getting recommended as good places to move to to get away from the loony left. But, often, I find that you and your neighbors actually have loony left politicians telling you how to live. That (surprisingly, perhaps) disqualifies you as a good place to live. Sorry. I would have thought you knew that.
“Bloggers are rising as news sources because people prefer journalists honest about their biases over those who pretend they don’t have them.”
CNN just called. They’re confused by your statement.
Eaxctly, it’s completely retarded. That’s why I don’t observe daylight savings time. Nobody around here used to observe it, but a few years back Indiana joined in the idiocy, so I may be the only person in the state who still is on Eastern Standard Time all year round.
I’m looking forward to next week when all my football games, church services, regularly scheduled meetings, etc will all be an hour later in the day.
MarkoMancuso, do you have any Jewish communities near you? Every year, starting about three weeks before Passover, kosher food stores sell Kosher Coke, which is made of sucrose instead of the normal HFCS.
Dude, you still write code that processes time in the local zone instead of keeping it all in UTC internally? Now you know why we all do that. For most uses, just keep time in the UNIX epoch for all processing and use the existing libraries to convert, letting them track changes in the timezone file as governments around the world continue to jack around with the clocks. It is the rare platform that can’t quickly and simply import or export the UNIX epoch, closest thing to a universal standard out there.
One warning, make sure your system and libraries keep the timestamp in a 64bit int lest the impending 2038 barrier bit ya in a few more years.
