I have a familiar feeling right now, same feeling from ~30 minutes before the debates. A perfect mix of excitement and fright.

I'm arguing with this 12 year old over Xbox Live and he's saying Obama's a terrorist because his middle name is HUSSEIN and his FATHER is Saddam Hussein.

If McCain takes Florida, that Vader "noooooo" you hear across the nation will probably be me... us Floridians can't be THAT retarded, can we?

He's not saying that he will bankrupt anyone. He doesn't have a magic bankrupt gun that he's planning to zap coal plants with. He's saying that with the cap-and-trade system in place, economic incentives will not favor the building of coal plants, because they'll constantly be scrambling to acquire enough emissions credits. They'll do a lot better in the market if they throw more money at reducing their emissions, or finding lower-emission sources of energy. Basically, they'll have to start paying for their externalities, so the free market (woo!) will find more efficient solutions.

Here's McCain saying basically the exact same thing, also on video (and getting slammed by the senator of Ohio from it):

Oh and if you're too lazy to watch... it's McCain's own amendment and he basically says , "yes lots of jobs will be lost, but what about the cost of having 4 hurricanes a year."

Yeah, I was playing fable 2 the other day, I have an Obama gamer pic...and I was in the main market in Bowerstone buying something from the jeweller and I see this Mccain Palin gamer pic come up beside me and this little kid starts yelling 'Muslim Lover!' and 'Muslim Bitch'. I had to change the game options so I couldnt see every other player's orb.

Do you know what's even funnier? I asked Joe if I were to change my middle name to Hussein, would I be a terrorist?
His response:
"Yeah, you would be a terrorist who sucks penis!"

It isn't so much me arguing as it is me telling him he's an idiot.Substance said:

:lol @ "Joe the bomb, er Plumber" slip.
The posts today at 538 on Virginia and Georgia are an amazing way to close out their season. I can't even begin to say how thrilled I would be two see those two states go blue. At the very least, Obama has proven that the south coast has just as much battleground potential for Democrats as the southwest and rust belt.
Also, while I never supported Kaine as a VP choice, my respect for him is growing on a near daily basis. I hope there is room for him in an Obama administration, because frankly it sucks to seem term limited and stunted on upwards mobility.
We spoke a while earlier about what Nate plans on doing after the election, and of course even ignoring baseball there is a lot of potential. The volume of data he'll have now is amazing. But I have to wonder about what brought him and Sean together to begin with. I'll bet Nate is trying to isolate key variables for voter turnout. Which would be amazing.

I just asked him two more questions.RubxQub said:
Me: Hey Joe, what do you think of Sarah Palin?
Joe: Who the fuck is that?
Me: *laughs*
Me: Hey Joe, what do you think of John McCain?
Joe: That bitch needs to have a heart attack and die!
:lol :lol
Edit: He just said Obama's economic plan is better than John McCain. lulz.
I just checked my email and got this: http://obeygiant.com/voteforchange/saul-williams/

That's better than the moron fellow teacher who walked into my classroom one day to borrow something while I was teaching and then proclaimed to my algebra 2 class that Obama's real middle name was "bin Laden."
I wanted to throw him out of the classroom like Uncle Phil did to Jazz on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Speaking of, somebody needs to make a gif like that but replace Uncle Phil with Obama and Jazz with President Bush.

+1 Obama in Arizona, mailed my absentee ballot over a week ago. I can also vouch for an additional +2 for Obama from my older brother and pops. Unfortunately, we could not convince my mother, a staunch Hillary supporter ever since Hill's visit to the reservation in the mid-90s. While she won't vote for Obama, she said she'd never vote for McCain. I have accepted this as a victory since she voted for Bush in 2000 and now regrets it (I think, we'll see how close AZ gets).
All our votes were placed in Apache County, perhaps the most reliable Democrat-voting county in the state due to the majority of residents being from the Navajo Reservation. We overwhelmingly supported such candidates as Mondale, McGovern and Dukakis regardless of the national consensus. Recent years have shown massive turnout and support for Gore and Kerry. Given our winning ways, we have turned our attention and nearly-unified support to Obama as seen through our council endorsement and the lone Obama fieldoffice trailer in our capital.
