Open Thread–11/2/2010

Yesterday I caught up with comments after I returned from the doctor.  I could not sleep.  My mind is just racing with today’s possibilities, good and bad.  My plan for the day is to get as much rest as I can, because I expect to be busy the next couple days just analyzing what happens today.

I can’t believe that I actually won in all three of my leagues!!

Short Takes:

From Christian Science Monitor: The Democratic National Committee has put up a slightly more useful polling locator they call Raise Your Vote. This site still needs your address and zip code, but then displays your assigned polling station as well as the best route to get there from your home.

If you don’t know where to vote, click the ‘Raise Your Vote’ link.

From San Francisco Chronicle: As the fandom of Texas baseball fell numb Monday night, the Giants celebrated in the middle of Rangers Ballpark, alone in their ecstasy over San Francisco’s first-ever World Series title.

Tuesday night I felt utter disgust, as the Rangers honored GW Bush.  After that, I loved seeing them get their butts kicked.

From Me: Republican voting has been switched to Wednesday.  Republicans, do not go to the polls until then.

Since Republicans are robo-calling into minority neighborhoods saying that to vote, they have to report to the polling places on Wednesday with their voter registration cards and proof of home ownership, I figure it’s my turn.  I’ve been honest in my commentary all year.  If Republicans get a million lies, I get one.
