« Bad News from Larry Sabato: No Incumbent Has Ever Won After Being Tied in the Polls Before Election Day | Main | Don't Let the Door Hit Ya Where the Good Lord Split Ya »
November 02, 2004

And So This is Christmas (Politically Speaking)

I don't know about you, but I can't believe it's finally here. Whether we win or lose (let's win, though, right?), I'm just sooo happy it's going to be over.

As a blogger, I should want it to continue. But as a human being, I can't take it any more.

Kathryn Jean Lopez was saying (at that event I attended) that all the political consultants and hacks she talks to say that-- they just can't take it; they need it to be over. I imagine most of you feel the same way. Except for a few sickies.

Incidentally, I'll be live-blogging the election tonight, which I guess just means I'll be posting a lot.

Woot for the sickies! I don't know why I didn't get as burned or bummed out about it as everyone else. I guess I had a low bar to start with.

I'm with you Ace. Enough is enough. I'm going to consume several Leinenkugel's (Oktoberfest is outstanding!) tonight, hoot and holler when Bush is announced the winner and then put this whole thing out of mind and enjoy the Kim Richards Pic-O-Rama :)

Good idea. I'm breaking out the Christmas carols early, and who can feel uptight with that musical backdrop?

Kim Richards???? I thought he said Keith Richards. Yeh, okay, now I'll vote for Bush.

Posted by: Master of None on November 2, 2004 11:41 AM

Ditto.

After several years of intense news addiction, I have no more emotional enegy left. I'm voting, but otherwise I'm switched off.

Between Ace, Instapundit, The Corner, and other assorted blogs, I won't be surprised when my modem bursts into flame.

That's all right, though. I'll be far too drunk by 11 PM to care.

Lookin forward to it.

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver.
It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.

I'm frankly surprised the title is 107 Days. I would have thought it would be:

Days Are Important: The Amount of Days Was a Number and That Number Was 100 Plus 7 Which is 107. 107. One Hundred and Seven. It's a Memoir and Memoirs are About Remembering Things Because Remembering Things is Good. Not Bad. Good. Memoir. A Memoir. Like a Reservoir But With Memory. We Have to Let it Flow. We Have to Let It Flow Into the Reservoir of Our Mind and Our Heart. Our Heart Which is the Beating Heart of Not Just Our Blood, But Our Progress. And Our People. And Democracy. The End.

Soft weak poop from the early 80s Mystery Click
I never liked this song, but it is memorable. In a weak, annoying way.
The kid's in shock up and down the block
The folks are home playing beat the clock
Down at the golden cup
They set the young ones up
Under the neon light
Selling day for night
It's alright
Nobody rides for free (nobody, nobody)
Nobody gets it like they want it to be (nobody, nobody)
Nobody hands you any guarantee (nobody, nobody)
Nobody
