or maybe more like a cakewalk, but all the cakes are frosted with spoiled mayonnaise

That actually sounds like the kind of party I expect you to throw, John.

or like a shit sandwich, but one that wants to talk to you about the issues that are important to you

IT HAS BEGUN. 11 MONTHS OF ENDLESS SUFFERING.

Aaaargh, my heart really isn't in giving you a hard time today. Austin was in a car accident (HE IS FINE - so much so that he was going to WALK THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK but some sane person gave him a ride). I think I'm a little shaken up, actually.

WTF WANTING TO WALK TO WORK AFTER AN ACCIDENT SRSLY

This is really conjuring up some disturbing images

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together,
Brighter than a lucky penny,
When you're near the rain cloud disappears, dear,
And I feel so fine just to know that you are mine.

My life is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
That's how this refrain goes, so come on, join in everybody!

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way
When you're in love to stay.

John dear, I want you to GO LIE DOWN IMMEDIATELY. And cut back on whatever you've ingested.

I am such a lucky sillywig that all I ever need to eat is marshmallow fluff and rainbow sprinkles!

Who is John dear?

Do I have a secret cousin, or an imaginary uncle?

Yay!!

Yeah, so I missed a comma.

I know it's confusing when I say nice things to my good friend John from high school, but it's that kind of day.

Wait, maybe you DO have a secret uncle...

doesn't JOHN DEAR make tractors? maybe you have a secret RICH uncle.

also, src, i'm glad your crazy walking-to-work person is OKAY.

Tractors are on farms...farms have lambies and bunnies on them...I think you are right and I like this uncle very much!

ban^^

Que knows the score

Thanks lxy. I married a CRAZY PERSON, but I'm sure it will all be fine.

Well, except that something is very wrong with John, but if he's happy in his fantasy land with bunnies, who am I to judge.

Going to go be blinded so that eye doctor can admire my beautiful retina up close. Looking forward to an evening of listening to the tv blather on about Iowa. The upside is that I won't have a clear view of Tucker Carlson.

Also, how sick is it that I'm more interested in the Republican results this year. It just seems so up in the air. (but please please a good D result, Iowa)

IA caucus reporting is kind of boring until a majority of the caucus doors open up later tonight.

Although the report that entry polls indicate that 60% of the Rep. caucus goers were willing to specifically identify as "evangelical christian" is pretty exciting.

I am blind as a freaking bat you guys

Wish you were here so I could ply you with booze and we could all perform Zell Miller impersonations.

Although Zell could probably see, so maybe I'd have to pretend to be Strom Thurmond.

AP says Huckabee has won Iowa, Romney has conceded.

virginia tech could probably go ahead and concede the orange bowl, as well

OH SNAP! a picture thread

also true however

U can't figure out if Huckabee is comic relief or a serious threat to, uh, everything.

Also, god do I wish there was no writer's strike going on right now. Or that I was really close friends with Darrell Hammond.

Obama with Clinton in third behind Edwards. Clinton's position going into NH, relative to Edwards, could change, but I'm OK with the results so far.

I genuinely don't think any of the republicans in the running pose much of a threat this go-round. then again, I couldn't have imagined that bush could "win" against gore until it actually happened

Obama called as winner with 37% by AP 84% reporting

Sorry to go all politico info on the bump thread, but that ILE presidential thread is scary and full of nutjob wonks.

Well, plus it moves too fast and I don't know those people! (suddenly I'm shy?!)

I'm happy with these results. I don't have a personal problem with HRC, but here's the deal: REALLY want to end the Bush/Clinton/Hatfield/McCoy b.s.

Plus Hillary is just nowhere near as talented as her husband, who is so flawed, but sooooo talented. I just don't want to go back to the 90s all that much.

Oh, and anything that makes Dick Morris look stupid makes me happy.

Obama called as winner with 37% by AP 84% reporting

THIS IS AWESOME

Who knows where the primary relults will go from here, but this is good for Dems. Fricking Thompson is pulling third behind Huckabee and Romney.

lxy, it IS really exciting. I just can't let myself get too excited about it. I don't know if that is cynicism or what, but I don't let myself get too invested or hopeful anymore.

Hi Australians, we're electing a new douchebag next year to run our country into the ground next year, and the first step in that process is seeing what a bunch of crazed bible-chewing rednecks think is the path to the future, in case you were wondering.

haha xpost yes perhaps cynicism on my part too.

FB OTM

Also, next time I cry for a week after an election, FB has my permission to roundly mock me, and then make me a strong cocktail.

John hearts Iowa.

FB, in a world where evangelicals are a major mobilizing force on the Republican side, in what possible way is a crushing Huckabee victory good for the Democrats?
