I Got Nothin'

Nothin' at all.

Just letting you know. I'm drier than a mummy with psoriasis.

Updates to follow.

So... what else is going on? What do you guys think of Raj from The Apprentice? I started out thinking he was going to be an embarassment to Republicans -- he's one of those guys who's just too damn eager to tell you he's Republican -- then I sorta liked him when he hit on Anna Kournikova (the balls!), now I'm leaning towards "embarassment" again, since he hits on everything and is apparently under the misimpression that the Apprentice is a dating show and that he'll soon spend some Alone Time in the jacuzzi with Bachelorette Carolyn.*

Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with being horny. But, you know, time and place, dude.

So, you know, that's the five o'clock update.

* She both intrigues and frightens me, by the way. Ice Princess defined.

Update! Why did they cancel Manimal? The show was just, ahem, getting its legs.

Do you realize that this close election probably gives you the greatest chance of casting THE DECIDING VOTE in any of the battleground states? Your vote is more likely than ever to swing the election.

So cast it!

So I've seen a couple of Apprentice episodes... But never saw the episode that Raj revealed he was a Republican..

Interesting though -- because he's my favorite.

So....... anyhooo

I pegged him as an archconservative right away. Bowtie, cane.

He's ludicrously republican. When he was hitting on AK, for example, he kept accusing her of putting a "Bill Clinton Slick Willy" spin on the ball, and said she was as tricky as a Democrat, etc.

He's also big on the military, and wanted to call his group "Empire," which is what a Republican guy would want to call it.

My hope is that after a day of panicking among those on the plugged-in right, the election is revealed to be a rout when NJ is called for Bush. If they're not doing exit polls in "safe" blue states there could be some surprises, I still think.

Carolyn? Ick.

But Pamela was hot.

Posted by: someone on November 2, 2004 05:21 PM

Pamela? The tall, um, woman of indeterminate sexual preference?

Carolyn's smokin' hot. Plus, you just know she'd be bossy, which I kinda dig.

Raj was unfairly blamed for an add campaign that was good, but didn't win. I didn't see anyone else on that team coming up with anything or taking any action, then they all blamed him later on...wait a second. Was I talking about the Apprentice?

Never watched it- so can't comment. I went into major TV-depression at the end of Buffy,and then Angel (which appeared just in time to assuage my pain for the loss X-Files ... which had replaced Next Generation ...) Now I just troll Foxnews ... AMC or TNT for some old movie. "Lost" has somewhat piqued my interest ... but it's too early to tell. And, really, what kind of long-term storyline could it have???

*snort*

Kerry getting 311 EV?

Clearly, Zogby has been smoking crack.

On Tuesday afternoons, when Zogby was conducting the poll, the Republicans were all out working and chauffering the kids around. Totally bogus sample.

Posted by: Scout on November 2, 2004 05:50 PM

Besides, the latest exit polls have the candidates separated by 1 pt in several of the key battleground states. None of those exit polls include early and absentee voters, both of which skew wildly to Bush. Good news for Bush. Bad news for Zogby's Bush-hating brother.

Posted by: Scout on November 2, 2004 05:51 PM

Somehow I picture that "Zogby!" being said like, uh, "Matt Damon!"

Posted by: someone on November 2, 2004 05:54 PM

No, it's said more like "Mars, my bitches!"

Posted by: TAL on November 2, 2004 06:00 PM

From the Kerry Spot's source (the so-called "obiwan," proof that Generation X has now succesfully infiltrated the power center, despite our own apathy) over on NRO:

"What you're hearing about the unreliability of exit polls is accurate. They are focused on urban areas. The exit polls need to be conducted in person, and obviously the media, even with their combined resources, have to pick and choose which polling places to conduct those exit polls. They under-poll rural and suburban areas.
They also do not count early and absentee votes, which traditionally benefit Republicans.

In the 1990s, the CNN exit polls were considered so skewed and so bad that GOP campaign strategists regulary added at least two or three points to the Republican candidate's total.

He also noticed that the earlier garbage polls, with their 59-41 women/men breakdown, were equalized to the more likely proportional turnout, Bush would win several key states like Ohio in a rout.

Before anyone loses their optimism, wait until someone's reputation is on the line in making these calls on the swing states."

Yeah. Manimal and Airwolf. Shows that died before their time. Think of the effects they could do now with Manimal.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.

Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.

One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:
