Every year for a while now, my father has sent a case of wine to Tiffany at the end of the year/for Christmas. He picks the twelve bottles himself, though sometimes some of them are multiples (if he really likes the wine, I suppose). This year’s case arrived today, and here is the haul: Year […]
Last week, when I was sick, I came to discover something I had not before had the chance to test, empirically. When you delete the last show off of the Now Playing section of your TiVo, it does not implode. There was so much I wanted to do while I was home sick for two […]
Yes, according to a county-by-county red-vs-blue map I have seen, there were three states where no single county voted for Kerry. Those states? Utah. Oklahoma. And yes, Nebraska. Of all the people I voted for on Tuesday, only one actually won the race she was in. My choice for Register of Deeds, Diane Battiato, will […]
And so it begins. In his comments today, George W. Bush said: “We’ve worked hard and gained many new friends, and the result is now clear — a record voter turnout and a broad, nationwide victory.” With 51% of the vote, GWB sees a “broad victory” handing him a mandate to tackle all the planks […]
Here’s something we can all support. One of the barriers to people voting has always been the amount of time it takes to go, wait, vote, and come back to work. While your employer must give you three hours in which to do so, yesterday there were people waiting upwards of five hours in lines […]
Now, I wouldn’t be an American if I didn’t enjoy another’s misfortune, and in the wake of this election, I need a little enjoyment. Especially at the expense of the President Elect. Several people have been pointing out that a Kerry administration would have been a largly frustrated and hopeless cause. The war in Iraq […]
This morning, as I picked my son up from his crib, and he sleepily cuddled into the crook of my neck, I had a thought. In the wake of the election, I’d been musing about my responsibility to him, my responsibility to give him a decent world to live in. I found myself trying to […]
The states where I have family (New York, Pennsylvania, California) all went for Kerry. The states where I have friends (Iowa, Minnesota, Massachussetts, Washington) are mostly good, though Iowa seems like it will ultimately fall for Bush. I’m not sure what kind of influence I could have had though, all my friends there were pretty […]
I do not understand how Bush could win this election. It is simply incomprehensible to me. Actually, I guess it isn’t. Reading around the web (so much more information on the web than on the networks) it appears that the youth vote did not turn out. It appears that lawsuits and delays are discouraging voters […]
Your duty. Your right. And if W wins and I find out you didn’t go vote, I will personally hunt you down and… well, I’ll make you feel really bad about it. So there.
