Her career has legs. I see an Apprentice appearance, a guest spot on Bill Maher's show, several viral videos of speeches in which she rails against premarital heavy petting... She's got 24 more months in the spotlight.

She's not unattractive, but apparently, whatever sweater puppies she's packing left the voters of Pittsfield less than enthused.

ETA: I think her hypocrisy was the real issue. Giving speeches topped sends a "do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do" message. In debates, all she had was, "But it's October!" Alas, this was not a pragmatic voting cycle.

POTM. For Willie Brown's ass alone.

And don't listen to the haters, Atticus. Having a "life" is overrated compared to a truly good bit on the PB.

With WA's mail-in only ballot process you will probably need to wait a few weeks, if not more, for the results here. I really appreciate them maximizing 20th century technologies to achieve the least timely election results in the country. Of course, our moron governor got elected on fraudulent ballots discovered days and weeks after the election, so I guess in that context it makes sense. I'm sure it will work to Patty Murray's benefit.

The Defeat of Prop. 19. They needed Timmy to endorse it publicly.

Too many people watched the World Series instead?

I thought it really humanized W to admit that the worst moment of his presidency came when a black guy told him he wasn't cool. I mean, we all fear that, right?

NEW GAME!

let's all post a sentence that mentions one thing Ty was wrong about in the last cycle, BUT each new sentence must start with the last word from the prior one.

So first sentence: "Health care reform won't cost the Dems any seats in the House."

"House: 40 will go D to R; 2 will go R to D; Net of 38"

eta: oops. that was GGG being wrong, not Ty. Sorry, I get them confused sometimes.

I have a theory that Ty and GGG are one. Ty is the "copy some hi-brow blogger" vehicle while the GGG sock is reserved for making dull-normal zings. the real question is what is the primary. I have some proof that it's the long silent Mr. Ebola.

I think I did pretty well in the office pool. The only race I know I missed was in Alaska, where I had Miller winning. And I had Whitman losing by only 6 points.

Prop 25

Not sure how I missed that it was on the ballot, but this is awesome news. A majority can pass a budget, and take responsibility for it.
