Wow, Americans! You’re really showing up. That’s supercool. Those of you who endured long lines and early mornings, way to go.
Those of you who haven’t voted: GETYOURLAZYASSESUPANDOUT. It’s time we stopped taking all of our glorious freedoms and privileges here for granted.
If you’re scared about this race today, we want ya to know that we are too. But we need change and we’re just gonna have to keep the faith that whatever happens, it’s moving us in a different direction.
The country is in dire straights and whomever wins is going to inherit a pile o’ problems. It won’t be easy to fix these either, so we are going to hunker down and try hard to unite around a better way forward for us all.
Of course, we’ll be wearing great shoes and carrying a spectacular handbag as we unite…..but how could we do it any other way. AS IF.
Go vote and feel good that you stepped up and made your feelings known. It’s key to have a say. If you don’t, then please don’t complain about the path we’re on and how it’s all so broken. As we’ve said all along, change begins with you. Inside you. Let your diva light shine and know that democracy is the best system on the planet. And even at our worst, we’re still the freest and most glorious nation on the globe, times 1,000.

We are supersad to learn that Barack Obama’s grandmother passed away today from cancer in Hawaii. We are saddened that she died the day before the big election. How hurt he must be, even though he can’t really let down his guard and he campaigns — too much at stake.
We wish him and his family peace.
We loved John McCain on “Saturday Night Live.” He was more open and funnier than we expected. The bit about a “Republican without money” Sublime. Loved the blank plates. Obama shoulda done the townhalls with him, providing a better contrast.
Supercool that his little blonde wife (LBW) came on as the QVC presenter. Ya know, if she wasn’t already so darned rich, she kinda looks like a QVC presenter. Following along with that note…. why hasn’t she spiked his campaign with the big bucks to make up for the Obama windfall? Just curious.
We think the polls are capturing a close race based on individual voters, but it’s the electoral college that will kill McCain on Tuesday.
Whew…..it’s almost over. Be cooler if it were more of a horserace. Some Senate and House seats will certainly provide that action, tho. November 5th will probably be a tough day to be a Republican, we surmise.
First he kicks reporters off of his plane. Not just any reporters. Three from the New York Post, the Dallas Morning News and The Washington Times. All of them had traveled with the campaign for months. And he gives their seats away frivolously to folks like Jet magazine and documentary filmmakers, as well as broadcast stars. Those publications, by the way, had all endorsed McCain.
Not so transparent, huh? We hate it when candidates behave this way. It’s pathetic and so base. What an incredible turnoff. If you were on the fence before, this is good enough to cause you to flip.
Then, if that stunt wasn’t bad enough, he yells at the media for shooting footage of him escorting his little daughter to a Halloween party near his Chicago home. Dude, any hope of anonymity is over. You wanna be president, your private life is pretty much done for the next four years. Sure, it’s cool that you are hanging with your little girl, but to tell the press to go away and then take off running. How inelegant!
We think your conduct in both these instances has been hardly presidential and very cheesy.
