— Maetenloch Feeling a bit drained by the ups and downs of the election and needing a little inspiration?
Well Mr. J. Wales has a thought for you:
"Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is."
And let Mr. D. Butkus show you how it's done:
Also Blogger Dan Riehl is in the Hospital
Apparently with respiratory failure. Haven't heard any further details. Send him your thoughts and prayers.Not since the days of slavery have there been so many people who feel entitled to what other people have produced as there are in the modern welfare state, whether in Western Europe or on this side of the Atlantic.-- Thomas Sowell
Longtime readers of Jim Geraghty know that he has two sources high up in the GOP circles - Obi-wan and Middle Cheese - who occasionally pass on their view on the state of the election. Here's what Middle Cheese currently says:
As of today, I think Mitt is ahead in Florida and Virginia. Mitt will be in Florida all day on Saturday campaigning with Marco Rubio, with goal of putting Florida away. Virginia leans Romney; the campaign going up with ads blasting ObamaÂ’s comments about the Navy in Tidewater.
Colorado and New Hampshire are looking good, but too close to call. ObamaÂ’s up slightly in Iowa and Nevada, but IÂ’d also characterize those as too close to call. ThereÂ’s a new Rasmussen Pennsylvania poll showing Obama +5 ahead; itÂ’ll take a late surge for Romney to win there. My guess is that Michigan is more likely to go for Mitt than Pennsylvania.
Bottom line: Election comes down to Ohio, I think. Nail-biter.
And here's Michael Barone's take: It's a slow motion 1980 campaign.
My other alternative scenario was based on the 1980 election, when vast numbers of voters switched from Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan after their single debate one week before the election....In the next two debates, Obama was definitely more focused and aggressive. But Romney held his own, and post-Oct. 16 polling showed him improving his standing even though many debate watchers thought Obama won on points. What we may be seeing, as we drink from the firehose of multiple poll results pouring in, is a slow-motion 1980.
If you're a sovereign nation, you can always stiff your foreign creditors and nationalize their property. But this only works as long as you never move any assets around in the rest of the world:
The Libertad, a three-mast tall ship with 330 navy cadets and crew aboard, was seized at Tema, an industrial port east of GhanaÂ’s capital, Accra, on Oct. 2 through a court order obtained by N.M.L. Capital, a holdout creditor from ArgentinaÂ’s default a decade ago that says it is owed more than $370 million. The creditor is among a few remaining holdouts to refuse debt restructuring agreements in 2005 and 2010. It had tracked the vessel through the LibertadÂ’s Web site.Good. There should be consequences for defaulting on your debts.N.M.L., a subsidiary of Elliott Capital, a New York-based hedge fund with $20 billion under management, offered to release the ship if Argentina paid a $20 million security. It also offered to bear the costs of flying the sailors home.
Well I for one welcome our new Japanese Overlords.
Japan on track to become the America's largest creditor. Not great but better to owe money to an ally than to a enemy-rival.Chinese holdings of Treasuries rose 0.1 percent this year through August to $1.15 trillion, Treasury Department data on international capital flows released today show. Japan, a stronger ally of the U.S., raised its stake by 6 percent to $1.12 trillion, on pace to top the list of foreign creditors by January.
Some good news:
U.S. set to overtake Saudi Arabia as world's biggest oil producer
In spite of everything the Obama Administration could do.A US oil boom is set to push America past Saudi Arabia to become the worldÂ’s top producer.Driven by high prices and new drilling methods, the US production of crude oil is on track for the biggest single-year gain for more than 60 years.
Analysts claimed yesterday that, if the growth in domestic drilling continues, America will soon overtake Russia and Saudi Arabia – and possibly become ‘the new Middle East’ in another decade. The boom has surprised even the experts.
‘Five years ago, if I or anyone had predicted today’s production growth, people would have thought we were crazy,’ said Jim Burkhard, head of oil markets research at US energy consulting firm IHS CERA.
Production is expected to rise by 7 per cent to hit an average of 10.9million barrels a day this year. Energy Department officials say it will average 11.4million next year, just below the current Saudi output of 11.6million.
Riding with the Truck Stop Killer
One woman's account of her ride and near death with a serial killer in the 80s:In 1985, Vanessa Veselka was a teenaged hitchhiker who was picked up by a man who would come to be known as the Truck Stop Killer. Nearly three decades later, she returns to the scene of that experience and writes about it for GQ: "I said I wouldn't go to the cops if nothing happened to me, but it was his choice -- until he looked at me and I went still. There was going to be no more talking. I knew in my body that it was over."
I didn't think this story would all that interesting but once I started reading I couldn't stop.

The Romney campaign wants everyone to think Ohio is really close, so energy stays up and people work their butts off. Because the polling simply doesn't support it being "close" there, unless Obama is turning out in 2008 numbers. And we know that isn't true from the absentee return numbers.
Democrats have lost registration differential since 2008. Democrats have lost early voting advantage. Democrats have lost Independent advantage. GOP has the best GOTV operation ever. There is no way the math adds up to it being "a nail biter".

See, I don't get this. Whenever I watch a Butkus clip--and maybe there are different ones out there I haven't seen--he seems super aggressive, hard-hitting, a great tackler, and relentless. But I never see anything to justify this implied reputation he has of playing dirty.
He just sticks people so that they stay stuck.

I think all the "Romney is gonna repeal Roe v. Wade" ads are backfiring. First, as a woman, I find it really insulting that all Obama thinks I care about are my lady parts.
Second, I think even the uninformed voter knows that one guy cannot overturn Roe v. Wade on his own. The scare tactics just aren't terribly scary.

Ohio's numbers will fall in line. There was some pundit back in either 08 or 04 talking about the national polling numbers and that at certain national polling numbers that certain states start to "fall in line". If Mitt is leading by 3, he is ahead in Ohio.

In my reweighting, Ohio is consistently showing .5% better numbers for Romney than the national number using the 2010 turnout model. The polls for Ohio are significantly more skewed than the national polls.

Listened to a FreedomWorks analyst on a Tampa radio station the other day. Vote NO on all of the SC and District Court of Appeal Judges. All were appointed by the communists. Getting them out allows the Republican Governor to appoint new judges. Unfortunately, incumbent judges normally win.
On the amendments I'm going with yes on 1, 6, 9, and 11.

I do not know this Lena chick. But she looks like a cross between a butch lesbian and a boy. Why is she famous? She is repellent, like someone trying to work a come-on on a gender they aren't actually attracted to.
Meanwhile, Hot Air has posted the Russian video that this was probably ripped off from, and, yes, the chick in it is hotter than a fire that can melt steel.
What's wrong with Democrats anyway?

The three states they discuss are Ohio, Iowa, and Nevada. The percentage of Dem voters that early vote that voted in at least 3 previous elections is much higher than the GOP percentage.
Dem's are getting people to the polls to try and run up numbers, without caring if they would have voted on election day or not. GOP is getting voters to early vote that would be less likely to vote on election day.

A couple years ago I was housesitting for the SO while he was serving his country, which meant I'd go to his place a couple days a week. He has a Sunday subscription to the Post, and while he was gone I cancelled it. What did they do? They decided to start weekday delivery for free just for the fun of it. I was not happy, to say the least. What's more, it took 4 days for the weekday cancellation to go through. They must have been trying to boost their weekday circulation numbers. Nothing like telling a circulation rep that I'm cancelling because it's an inconvenience.

Two changes which would REALLY change the dynamics of Elections...
1. Make Election day a National Holiday, but ALL voting except for Active Military MUST be cast that day... with ID.... polls stay open for 24 HOURs... with NO Vote counts early.
2. Proportional Electoral College vote, where each Congressional district is a mini election for its Electoral vote, then whoever wins the State gets the two extras....
Means cheating would be minimized... and EVERYONES vote would matter, not just OHIO's...

I like your proposal in general though the liberals would never go for it. They'd keep it in the courts for a thousand years if they had to.
Also, I think absentee ballots should be allowed, but only for hardship as it was originally intended. This instant register to vote, then vote shit though really has to stop. It's a perfect setup for fraud.

Donald Trump's big nothing $5 million charity offer.
I thought it was interesting. He announced "he had something yuge" before the last debate.
Did he get into Obama's head before the debate at all?
He had people talking about Obama and Obama's drugs, without Trump or Romney saying a word. In fact, the Romney campaign looked honorable in saying, "we won't go there."
He got people talking about the Obama 2000 divorce story. And Mr. Invincible's loss to Bobby Rush.
There was some birther conspiracy stuff too. Which was not good, but made the MSM look bad when they were wrong.
And his charity offer story is no worse, and actually a lot more positive than Gloria Allred's Traveling Grievance Circus.

I'm in the ET zone but record it off the Seattle station at IIRC 1 a.m. here (to not use the PVR recording during prime time) so I'd appreciate no spoilers as well.
I forced myself to sit through the first 10 minutes of the first show, hating it, but I figured I'd carry on watching because I figured the lame descriptions of them were meant for people completely unfamiliar with the Holmes's stories and that's what annoyed me. After it got past that stage I thought it was pretty good. And last week's episode with the child kidnapper was really good.
A friend who hated the beginning so much (like me) that he stopped watching the episode decided to give it a second chance on my recommendation and enjoyed it too.

In a sensible world, default/bankruptcy/whatnot would be punished by an inability to borrow. Because "investors" would grow up and take responsibility for the risk they expose their assets to.
Instead, blowing up your credit rating gets you more offers from Capital One and auto dealerships for financing cars you can't afford because the banksters need something to securitize to keep the Ponsi going.

Remember, shotguns in real life are not like the movies. Even at 10 feet, the shot spread will only be measured in INCHES. You have to aim to be able to hit what you want.
As someone said above, Practice! Spend some money on ammo, even cheap target loads will do for most parctice. But also make sure you shoot the real stuff when practicing, because you want to make sure it feeds in an autoloader.

Trump took the wind out of any Obama schooled romney in the last debate bs and refocused the media cycle before they could get traction on that.
What trump did was genius. People dont give him credit for being able to out bullshit the bullshitter in chief and his bullshitting miniions in the media.

The story dropped, and it was about as impressive as Trump's big announcement. Basically, proof that Obama knew Wright going back to 1987 and was more involved with him than let on. Stuff we all knew, but the other side and the independents don't care about.

For my part, I am not voting this year, beyond the state-level elections. Maybe not even there.
Voting is an act of submission to the notion that my vote is equal to the vote of others. But I don't think that it is. I think that my vote is superior in some ways - inferior in others. So I would feel a hypocrite to cast a vote alongside the complete IDIOTS here in Boulder.
Whatever happens to Colorado, or to the United States overall - I will leave that up to God. (And I do believe in God - the god of the copybook headings.)

258 Trump continued.
So what is next? I think Trump could have some MORE fun with this.
Wait until Nov. 1, announce that he was disappointed in Obama's "Most transparent" schtick, and will be donating $1 million to Trump's charity. Renew his offer for just $4 million, with a noon on Nov. 5 deadline. Maybe add a dig about how much Romney gives to charity.
After Obama ignores this again and loses.... On November 8, after the election, announce he gave another $2 million to Trump's charity. And renew his offer to Barack for $2 million by November 20th. And taunt him for losing, mention this is the last campaign, what are you hiding, what do you have to lose, etc.
It would make some of the news, get Trump some face time and good mentions; and get under the Democrat's skin. Either way some charity gets lots of dollars, and maybe we get some low information, celebutard watching, low intensity voter people asking,
"What is Obama Hiding?"

The seizure of the headquarters of Ansar Al-Shariah — which has been accused of, but denied, involvement in the murder of US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans last week — came after tens of thousands took to the streets on Friday to protest the power of the militias. The group’s members took flight as hundreds of protesters stormed and then torched its compound, and also evicted it from the city’s Al-Jalaa hospital, where they were replaced by military police.
But to the alarm of senior officials, the demonstrators also stormed a raft of other paramilitary bases in the city controlled by former rebel units that had declared their loyalty to the central government.
It was at one such base — the headquarters of the Raf Allah Al-Sahati Brigade, a unit under the authority of the Defense Ministry — that the four people were killed in clashes between its fighters and hundreds of protesters, some of them armed.
Around 70 people were wounded during the overnight violence, medics at Benghazi’s three main hospitals said. Worried Libyan authorities called on the demonstrators to distinguish between “illegitimate” brigades and those who are under state control, warning that the neutralization of loyal units risked “chaos.” The warning highlighted the dilemma facing the Libyan government a year after the overthrow of veteran dictator Muammar Qaddafi — while militias pose the biggest threat to its authority, its fledgling new security forces are dependent on former rebel units that fought in the uprising.
The trigger for the assault on the paramilitaries was a “Save Benghazi” protest after the main weekly Muslim prayers on Friday that was joined by some 30,000 peaceful demonstrators. It drowned out a smaller OFA rally attended by just a few hundred people over a US-made anti-Islam film and blasphemous cartoons published by a French magazine.

Politicians are egomaniacs. So, before running for any term beyond the first, the pol must complete a task; each term, the task would become increasingly humiliating. The first one, for example, would be standing on a crowded street corner in a full Geisha outfit and singing "I'm a Little Teapot."

You are having trouble separating your *opinion* from your *vote*. Your vote is something you receive via society and does not exist with you alone. So to participate in this social transaction you have to accept how society defines it.
Compare buying something at the store. Do you likewise refuse to pay the same price for a Big Mac as everyone else? Should your money be worth more or less based on how you earned it?
By not voting you are refusing to participate in this social activity, but that means your vote is now worth nothing.

Belvidere IL is now making the Alfa-based new Dart, and Chrysler North is supposedly home to a Maserati-named SUV similar to but more expensive than the Grand Cherokee made there now -- can't wait to see that one by the side of the road -- so that would leave Toledo, home of the Wrangler and whatever replaces the Liberty.
That's a multi-billion dollar facility, complete with "supplier mall," and was more-or-less the jewel in Chrysler's crown. The idea that Fiat would walk away might induce an element of sobriety at several union locals.
OK, those of us who aren't interested in polling and have to share how shitty some Jeep was when they were teenagers, go ahead now.
And, we're back.
Time was, Toledo had a pretty broad industrial/commercial base; of course most of that is gone now, and new development has been hopelessly confused by local government's attempts to broker Chinese investment in "co-operative" projects and government largesse to solar-power startups whose solvency no one seems to know. In the absence of other financial activity, the loss of that one plant would hit about the way the Studebaker closing hit South Bend.
This could be masterful timing of a very low blow on behalf of Romney, but you have to ask what an Italian republican would even look like. Could be some outrageous rent-seeking by a company that essentially got all the Chrysler assets for free, and wants to find out how much more is in the kitty.
It may be just the sad upshot of allowing a national icon to fall into foreign hands without any actual value changing hands, or, most dreadful, it may be just like South Bend: the Board had stopped meeting there and moved to NYC to be nearer the finance arm, and was just waiting for an appropriate time to get out of the car business. In the great gnashing of teeth following the Kennedy shooting, somebody figured, what the hell, they can't hurt any worse, and tripped the trigger. Is Marchionne counting on a great national gnashing of teeth soon, or is he bailing on O's second-term deals?
And what will the union steward ward-heelers, the guys who pass out the 4 x 8 signs and knife tires when they're told to, make of their prospects? Would this be hard to blame on Bush? The old party line, no matter the depredation, has always been "Doan sweddit, Mahcy'll take care of yaz." In fact, I met a Studebaker UAW VP who'd done very well by their catastrophe, and ended up a War on Povery administrator. But that's a lot of takin'-care-of. Maybe they'll only close if Romney wins. Yeah. That's the ticket. They'll go with that.

Ace needs a POST election prediction thread.
My predictions. We win big nationally.
We lose some House seats we had, but gain more elsewhere. The Dems lose a few more seats. Boehner gets a chellenge for majority leader.
We win the Senate, but then realize that McRino and Miss Lindsey can mess things up with their "bipartisan B.S." Akin and Mourdock might win, but are butt hurt from when the RNC said Dumb Shits! no $$ for you; they balk at lots of issues for the next 3 years.
The Tea Party starts to flex its muscle more, and alienates more RINOS and statist types.
In the mean time... The Democrats go into full scale meltdown. Knives, guns, and suicide vests are figuratively used. Several of the grievance groups turn on the other grievance groups.
The Clinton DLC crowd tries to rally around Hillary, but further revelations about Benghazi makes her look shockingly bad. Besides there are almost no DLC types left. They were all lost in 2010 and 2012.
The union guys split into the SEIU commie wing, we want our pensions Gov worker, and the we want real jobs wing (Teamsters, UAW, IBEW, Chem and Petro workers, etc).
The blacks and hispanics all ask where are our pet causes and projects? What do we get? The CBC is one of the remaining Democrat strong holds, and demands real power.
Everyone blames Barck Obama and his administration. Some Dems actually support Issa, and a few talk to the republicans about crossing over.
The final democrat party has visible factions and searches for a new message. Maybe they throw out the communist-progressives and invite the RINOS to join them. The commies may start a progressive-green party.
The MSM does not know who, how, what, when or why in their coverage. They are paralyzed when their masters fail to provide a clear message. Several media channels go in different directions. Sheer specualtion follows --- NYT defaults to the power elites and old line dems are right. CNN goes with the radical LGBT crowd. MSNBC goes with the radical left and union communists. But the message discipline is disrupted. Their only uniform view is that conservaives are bastards. And the Republican success drives several personalities to have "medical issues,"and take leaves of absence. Their low ratings cause several corporations to announce layoffs, even during the Holiday Season.

Hello from the swing state of Ohio. It has now been 2 years this week since my dad, Mystry, passed on. My family has never forgotten your kindness and how you helped to make his last days ones of fellowship and laughter. We are still grateful.
This is the first Presidential election since he died. I know he would have been fighting to kick out Obama and I know that the Libya event would have upset him deeply.
I think subconsciously I have been watching for some kind of sign that he's engaged from where he is in the afterlife. When I saw the images of the rally from Red Rocks, I got choked up but really could not figure out why. My family visited there when we kids were little and while I don't really remember it, I recently saw some pictures of all of us together there. For some reason I felt compelled to read and see all I could of the rally.
Those of you who read my eulogy of my dad know that the only time I really heard him speak about God was when we were on a family ride in Colorado when I was a child. He said that God's handiwork was all around him. Yesterday, I saw video of Mitt Romney at Red Rocks looking out at the crowd, obviously very moved, using the very same language.
I do not believe in coincidences.
Thank you again for your kindness.

just that problem preys on my mind and keeps me up at night. i really want to save people, not give up on them, but i think they would fight any help offered to them that they didnt initiate themselves and even then would fall off the wagon and be angry you interfered, just like a chronically drunk brother.
what to do?
this seriously bothers me. i really feel this is what purging the concept of SHAME from the list of healthy things to feel will get you. People who can't be shamed into "getting right" are really hard to convince to redeem themselves.

agreed. but im worried we dont have all that time.
then what do we do? really. Im jewish and i worry about what a country does with great mobs of folks considered "undesirable." I don't even like calling people that. But if you wont TRY to feed yourself honestly and you cant be guilted or shamed into doing it, and other people wont tolerate letting you starve... then what?
i think we could speed up the timetable with orphanages that raise kids with some kind of ethic similar to what you give young men in the Marines (perhaps because my man is a Marine from a desperately poor background) but people would rather abort children than let them be raised by others like that.
what is a moral, non horrifying, constitutionally friendly, life affirming way to solve the problem of this communistic moral rot? its a peculiar ethical problem.

Sweet get of an endorsement:
DEFIANCE, Ohio — Mitt Romney's campaign rally here at a high school football stadium took an unusual turn Thursday night when the Republican nominee received a surprise endorsement from what could only be described as a rather unexpected guest.
Several thousand supporters were listening to a pre-rally performance by country star John Rich, when Rich interrupted his set to invite a "special guest" to the stage.
The surprise visitor: the rock star turned occasional actor Meat Loaf.
Dressed in a baggy black suit accented with multicolor sequins, the singer, who rose to fame from his star turn in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," dramatically stormed the stage to the shock of many of those in the audience, who turned to each other with questioning faces.
'This is the most important election in the history of the United States," Meat Loaf explained. "Because there has storm clouds come over the United States. There is thunderstorms over Europe. There are hail storms--and I mean major hail storms--in the Middle East. There are storms brewing through China, through Asia, through everywhereÂ… I want you to know there is one man who will stand tall in this country and fight the storm and bring the United States back to what it should be. Gov. Mitt Romney!"
But it wasn't just people in the crowd who were surprised to see Meat Loaf. Taking the stage a few moments later, Romney seemed as surprised as anyone to have received the singer's backing.
"Meat Loaf was here," the GOP candidate said. "Can you believe it?"
It never felt so good, it never felt so right...

You mean the one that is just The iPad (actually iPad v3) or the new one that was just announced that is supposed to compete with the smaller tablets?
I figure they're reaching market saturation and you really can't expect people to be buying a new device every one or two years. They are not phones, where people are willing to upgrade that often due to the wear and tear phones get. They'll be a lot closer to computers which I am guessing that for most people have more of a usage life closer 5 years at the minimum.

IMHO, you cannot become linked to a profoundly intellectual forever-failing progressivist cult until you have become disconnected from reality. Which is why Obama and Biden are "math-challenged" and most of their adherents are from inner cities or wealthy enclaves where meat comes in plastic trays from supermarkets -- or in a McDonald's wrapper. Sex doesn't lead to children, bumping along in poverty is because "the man" is keeping you down and not because you're a lazy ass who won't get off the couch, and having a degree in Grievance Studies is just as good as having a degree in Civil Engineering.
And the moral, non-horrifying, constitutionally friendly, life-affirming way to solve this is by exposing reality to all and sundry. Just share. Have a neighbor come along to a slaughterhouse when you pick up a side of beef. Talk about how someone made something of themselves by working. When a household animal goes into heat, make sure to have the local kids notice......but let their parents explain. The more reality they are exposed to, the less likely they can block it out.

The surprise visitor: the rock star turned occasional actor Meat Loaf.
Dressed in a baggy black suit accented with multicolor sequins, the singer, who rose to fame from his star turn in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," dramatically stormed the stage to the shock of many of those in the audience, who turned to each other with questioning faces.
'This is the most important election in the history of the United States," Meat Loaf explained. "Because there has storm clouds come over the United States. There is thunderstorms over Europe. There are hail storms--and I mean major hail storms--in the Middle East. There are storms brewing through China, through Asia, through everywhereÂ… I want you to know there is one man who will stand tall in this country and fight the storm and bring the United States back to what it should be. Gov. Mitt Romney!"
But it wasn't just people in the crowd who were surprised to see Meat Loaf. Taking the stage a few moments later, Romney seemed as surprised as anyone to have received the singer's backing.
"Meat Loaf was here," the GOP candidate said. "Can you believe it?"
It never felt so good, it never felt so right...

smallest box had a note that said look under the couch
i quote: 'holy shit, i think i just had an orgasm"

This seems kinda cryptic. What was under the couch?

A couple of years ago, I interviewed to be a Controller at a company.......that turned out to be owned and controlled by her. While it would have been nice to have a job, that was a frightening moment when I found out.

You can rent a gun at a lot of ranges. People do it all the time to try something before they buy it. Most ranges will offer some sort of classes and basic instruction.
Once you get the basics down and aren't flinching when it goes off, I'd recommend taking couple of tactical pistol courses. That's where you'll learn what works and what doesn't. If you're in south FL, James Bigwood is quite good. I believe he's a retired Brit SAS shooter.

@613 At this hour of the night, most of the posts seem rather cryptic.
My guess is that now most of the posters are drunk or semi-drunk.
I know I am. And to confuse matters there are two competing late night threads, one about a hurricane named Sandy, (no relation to the Fluke chick.)

In my area there are so I would guess yes if you are near a decent sized city. If not Check out a gun/hunting clubs in your area since they are more than happy to share if you pay for a couple extra rounds they can put through free teaching you.

@618 "How does an 11 year old even know what an orgasm is?"
TV and the internet, I would guess.
Also, were you never 11 and rubbed yourself and found that it felt good? You might not have had a word for it, however.

Mine is a wimpy 800W unit, YMMV.
4 pieces on a paper plate configured around the edge - avoid the middle. Nuke on high for ~5min.
Now flip the inner edges to the outer as well as flipping the slice to the other side (ie don't leave the same side up)
Nuke on high for another 2 min.
Result - crispy all the way through.

Thanks! I used to live in south Florida about a decade ago but now I'm in the Seattle area. There is a shooting range near my house, so maybe I will check that place first. To be honest I'm a bit afraid of guns (didn't grow up around them), which is why I think I need to learn how to use them.

I started with paint ball guns when teaching my daughters. No (if you're not stupid) chance of injury. But do put a projectile down range. They are cheap and easy to use.

Blair Witch creeped me out. It probably helped my suspension of disbelief that I didn't see the actors in any other context until well after I had seen the movie.
I was in college and into the Vampire the Masquerade LARP at the time. My costume had several elements, most of which I could wear normally. But the main thing was a huge black cape. As I had no use of it outside the game, it spent most of it's time in a particular spot on what passed for a closet (think cheap hotel room, not the current style of dorm) at the far end of the room.
Anyway, I went to bed the night I saw Blair Witch and woke up during the night. Turning to that corner of the room, I was sure I saw a figure in the cape facing the corner.
I didn't sleep with the lights out for two weeks.

Oldcat,
We need to separate the "State of King" from the State of Washington. Let those hipster-douche-bags go their own way.
The rest of the state will go RED!

i think this is true. i live by the seasons with the horses and other animals and it has had a profound effect on me.

I was a little girl like that. i think it made me more resilliant as a human, but I admit i am more comfortable with horses, cattle, dogs, and cats, than i am with people and perhaps that seems like a shame, but i am content with life.

Sadly, it is not so uncommon. Mostly from the libertarian types from what I have gathered (wiki Agorism). About as out of touch with reality as the folks that embrace the communist utopia.

Seem to be quite a few "get my excuses in first" whines from the Left in the past couple of days.
Sure looks like a campaign that's falling off the rails, doesn't it.

More like a campaign that has fallen off the rails, and can't find a way to punch their way back into the fight. Mixed metaphors as I give up and head to bed.

I early voted yesterday, me. Took only about 20 minutes, and the biggest strain was that the building was not very well air-conditioned on an 85-degree-and-humid afternoon.
The voting machine, at least for early voting, is a stand-alone console with shielding curtains on either side, but open in the back -- some nosy parker could look over your shoulder, I guess. Touch the screen for each choice, touch “Next,” and then at the end you see a summary screen of your selections, which you can go back and change. Only then do you get a button on-screen to “Confirm.”
Your selections are recorded on a card, which you hand to the attending registrar person, and thatÂ’s it. (I suppose if said attendant was a Dim-o-crat, and saw that you chose Romney/Ryan, she could accidentally on purpose lose the card. But IÂ’d rather not think about that right now.)
