Just a question.

I voted in NY and the Supreme Court Justices were on the ballot. I thought the President picked them, not voters.

Please forgive my ignorance...

@Blank-Blank: That's for your state supreme court only, not the federal supreme court.

God, people are acting like children. Grow up, learn to deal, and move on with your lives.

People who clearly know little about politics seem to assume that the president has far more power then he/she actually do. Since Congress still exist, you can stop your crying and act like rational adults.

@Valhawk: Yeah, electing supreme court justices...pffft!!! WHAT DOES THAT DO?!?!?!

You're right, determining the judicial branch and controlling the executive branch is nothin'.

Cry. Start looking for academic positions out of the US, since biological research here is going to hell with Ms. Dinosaurs-died-in-the-flood-and-evilution-is-fake-and-zygotes-are-hoomins-Palin.

Keep on fighting the good fight for Puerto Rico's independence- if you guys choose morons to preside over you, we shouldn't have to fucking deal with them.

Also, feel my uterus shrink, give thanks for my contraceptive implant, volunteer even more doing science outreach in schools, and tell myself I will never have kids within the US mainland.

...selling my "virginity", taking the money, fleeing to a foreign land and getting knocked up thus forcing a marriage....wait, no, no....

....will refrain from being a half assed Revolutionary, don a military-esque uniform and do my best as wreaking rebellious havoc regardless of jail time possibilities

(wouldn't actually living in jail be the same as theoretically living in a Palin-run jail aka USofA?)

Someone should tell Pareene that the American way to count liquor is in Fifths of Gallons, i.e. "a fifth of whiskey/bourbon." Or, Joe Fiftho'whiskey. (A fifth is roughly 750mL.)

This cannot happen, see. I am already in debt from moving across the country to the Elitist Liberal City known colloquially as New York, and cannot afford to flee to Scotland. :(

@soloeddy: I don't know why I'm bothering, but I strongly doubt prominent Republicans would be endorsing a Marxist, socialist, near-terrorist, so please share the evidence that you have and they don't.

Also, please explain how being a war hero qualifies one to be President and how a woman who was pranked into speaking to a fake Nicolas Sarkosy with a less convincing accent than Pepe LePew is smart?

Thanks.

If McCain wins, I'm either quitting my job to help organize the resistance full-time or going, on foot, illegally across the Canadian border and figuring shit out. I mean it.

@robot ninja spy voted!: Me too! ROAD TRIP!

Seriously though, I will only apply to international grad schools and will get out as fast as I can. And not come back for a while, because my parents will have disowned me and therefore I do not need to come home for holidays.

A little something to momentarily relieve your election anxieties ... just think of who we're about to get rid of!

And a funny little nothing to read which will remind you of how happy we are to be just about rid of the curse, as I fervently pray that something worse isn't about to happen - [www.defectiveyeti.com]

I'd console myself by thinking maybe McCain's 45 nucular power plants he wanted to build would take longer to do and get more bogged down in paperwork and opposition than the 'more troops' Obama wanted to send into Afghanistan, which could be done easily in secret without anyone noticing except the unfortunate families of those people who would be involved. What was the question again? If Sarah got to be President? Hey, think about it. What difference would it make. Politicians are, underneath the labels, very much alike. They all have flaws, they all have crazy ideas, and they all disappoint.

Start exploring the possibility of a move to either Vancouver, London or Strasbourg. For serious, this time.

Get an IUD and stock up on Plan B for friends. Spend the next 4 years as a functional alcoholic. Donate all excess funds to turning the Senate and House as blue as Lake Tahoe and protecting Planned Parenthood, the World Wildlife Fund, and the Sierra Club.

Or I'll just move to Northern California, go off grid and open an illegal 24-hr bar on private property.

No matter what, there will be alcohol and lots of it.

@shewar: GOD, THREE AND A HALF HOURS until I'm out of the office, stocking up on wine, putting on my Obama shirt and heading to PS's. CANNOT WAIT.

I'm more caffeinated than I've been in months, and now I cannot sit still AT ALL.
