Pixy Misa, who makes this whole joint swing, tips that there are in fact merely 76,000 or so provisional ballots at large in Ohio. [SEE CORRECTION.]

Now, actually, I think the Dems are using the 250,000 uncounted votes term to include both provisional ballots, and maybe absentees, and the hundred thousand Double Secret Probation Votes coming out of Cleveland, any moment now.

But, given that Bush's lead in Ohio is growing, not shrinking, as the last precincts check in, I think we'll soon be able to just talk about the provisionals and the absentees. And the absentees, of course, usually go pretty Republican.

PS: Bush now has a lead of over 160,000 votes in Ohio with 99% of precincts reporting and ABC and CBS still won't project him the winner (I think).

Alarming News notes that the media were perfectly willing to call Michigan for Kerry with a similar margin.

But there's no media bias, you know. It's a figment of your lunatic imagining.

Correction: Tipped by Pixy and "someone" that those numbers listed are as of yet uncomplete, and they're still counting, and adding to the number.

The Guardian blares that "political websites" predict a Kerry win.

Hmmm... which websites? Why, which else? Wonkette and Slate, of course! Are there any others?

I guess not.

Here's the difference between liberals and conservatives.

Liberals so dominate the academy and the media that conservatives are forced to listen to, analyze, and respond to their arguments and claims, even if, let's face it, we'd rather just ignore them. Maybe it would be easier to ignore them, but we don't have that option.

We can't. Liberals are omnipresent in the world of ideas. Mostly bad ideas, yes, but still, they're wherever you are.

Liberals, on the other hand, can easily avoid all interaction with conservatives if they so choose-- and they do so choose, most of the time. While conservatives read the New York Times or Washington Post, liberals would never be caught reading the Washington Times or New York Post, unless as NIMH-funded research into political pathology.

They're like the ghosts in The Sixth Sense -- the only see what they want to see. If a fact or argument conflicts with their preferred vision of the world, they just ignore it. And they can ignore it, too, at least most of the time, since conservatives don't control the media or academy. We can't force them to listen, they way their media/university domination forces us to listen.

Except, you know, every two or four years.

Then they have to listen. And they're perpetually shocked by their unpleasant brushes with non-liberal reality.

So, there you go. The Guardian casts about for websites predicting the outcome of the election, and it comes across Wonkette and Slate. Not, say, NRO or anything like that.

And they're just baffled that reality didn't come out the way they'd hoped.

And so it goes. And so it will always go.

"We're telling the world that we endorse the last four years, and give thumbs up to more evil." -- a Filet-O-Fish sandwich that has somehow mastered the aspects of human communication (well, the not-funny aspects, leastaways)

"This is just the beginning, not the end. Regardless of who takes that oath next January we still have a war to wage." -- a Daily Waste of Time

I should note that this idiot caveats his statement with, "We won't wage it with violence, but by building a solid foundation for a new progressive movement." But I'm a little sick of these douchebags denying that the fight against psychopathic Islamism is a "war" and then using that same term to describe political struggles within what is supposed to be a peaceful, civil democratic society.

Congratulations, Re-Elected President Bush!

137,000 ahead in Ohio with 97% in. That's quite enough for me.

Let's say it together: John Kerry couldn't get elected warden in monkey-prison with a wheelbarrow full of bananas and a lenient policy on flinging feces.

A little revealing Kim Richards past the jump. Be warned: it's not completely work safe. Or spouse-safe. No nudity, but not the kind of picture you want your wife or boss seeing, unless your wife or boss is pretty damn cool.
more...

Kerry camp ready to litigate Ohio.

Meanwhile, with 96% of precincts in, Bush's lead has now grown again to a respectable 114,000 121,000 and growing.

It's not quite over. But it's looking good.

Not Good: Ted Kennedy is now "counselling" Kerry on his "options."

Psst, John-- Don't let him drive you anywhere, especially over bodies of water.

Kerry camp now arguing that the numbers haven't been fully counted and are about to shift massively; also argues that two hundred thousand "provisional ballots" may alter outcome.

She wasn't blogging all day because she, like, was working for Bush's re-election all day.

Deserves a big, big thank you, I think.

Invade her comments and tell her she done good.

Bush's lead is dwindling there as we tick closer to 90% of precincts reporting.

Simply to avoid a jinx, I've taken down the previous Ohio posts.

They will go back up when I don't feel so much like vomiting.

And if Iowa, Wisconsin, and New Mexico go for Bush, they will be very outstanding states indeed.

Knock, knock, spit, spit.
