How will this election change you and your life?

Let's hear the good and the bad. But not from Tarlam, because he doesn't count.

Good:
I'm going to take Partial out for dinner and learn how to be a bad tipper. I've always been a 20%+ tipper unless the service was bad. I'm thinking 12% now. I can't afford to have my wealth spread around and tip well.

Bad:
I'm going to have to stay at the table at the strip club. I can't afford to have my wealth spread around and tip well.

really when it comes to politics today its same shit different color

a democratic president with large majorities in both houses in scary - but it was also scary when the republicans had it earlier in the decade as well - it really is power unchecked

i firmly believe that's why we were so successful in the 90s - we had a good balance of power and both sides / both branches worked together to get shit done

until of course the impeachment thing

It will not change my life much, but I may not get to listen to talk radio much longer once The Fraud brings back the Fairness Doctrine and starts censoring people. I agree with Skin on tipping. There is not need to be generous anymore since The Fraud will take care of spreading the wealth. I will also treat The Fraud with the same respect that the liberal left treated Bush, McCain, and Palin.

At least for about 3 years. She'll likely try to make a run at the Presidency but she'll get beat down by the other Republicans pretty quickly in the primaries. Then she'll just fade away from the collective memory of Americans.

It's just a terrible terrible turn of phrase and he always delivered it in the worst tone. More than any of his actual policies or positions, it made him come across as old, limp, and disingenuous IMO.


Bad:
Biden will have more opportunities to sound like an idiot in front of recording machines.

Good:
The media will refuse to report it.

Because I am a simpleminded bourgeois technocrat of the capitalist war machine, I will have to re-stock my library with books that describe this new country in which I live. Also, I will buy a big box of crayons, the one with all the really cool colors.

It's embarrasing to this state that Al Franken, possibly the worst candidate I've ever seen, is taking Norm Coleman to a recount.

He's good enough, he's smart enough, and God Damnit people like him.

MINNYSODA is progressive though. They opted for a Wrestler Governor who wore tights and died his hair pink, now they could have Stuart Smalley reppin' them in the Senate.

Just what do they put in the beer they serve at Chuck's Bait Shop?

Ah, I've never tried that stuff, but now I can understand why people in Minnesota vote the way they do.

Are you celebrating? What beer could you closely pair Grain Belt with? I have a close group of beers that I only drink, and Spotted Cow was just admitted into my close circle. But I have cut down drastically on my beer consumption, the fact I'm on here sober is a testament to this.

Is Grain Belt only sold in Minnesota?

How has it changed me?

It's made me more bitter. It's made me more cynical.

For years and years the media and Democrats have gone out of there way to take shots at Dubya and Republicans in general at every chance necessary; either through misrepresenting the truth or just flat out lying. Some were warranted, some were not. Now they call for unity and putting differences aside, for respecting the president and standing behind him. Give me a break. Where was that respect before? Those people can go fuck themselves for all I care.

I don't trust the media. I don't want to hear from the media. Maybe, just maybe, they will go back to investigating rather than cheerleading but I doubt it.
