With the Guv's race tight here, things like this can throw the election to Rauner. It never ceases to amaze me the lengths these assholes will go to in getting the results they desire.

CBS 2’s Pam Zekman reports Neal blamed the shortage of election judges on “malicious” robocalls made to election judges over the weekend, falsely informing them they had to report for training, or they would not be able to serve on Election Day.

Dick Cheney before he dicks you

Imagine my concern when I read that Dick Cheney's surgery a few years ago was life threatening. According to this article, he has a heart!

“I believed I was approaching the end of my days, but that didn’t frighten me. I was pain free and at peace, and I had led a remarkable life.”

Yep, a remarkable life indeed. I'm sure he was focusing on the role he played in Desert Storm and maybe some other pleasant moments in his life. But I sincerely don't understand his being at peace. He has to know that if there's an afterlife, he's burning in hell forever. I don't think there's any need to list out all the reasons here, it's obvious. His best chance after death is if there honestly isn't a God.

In any case, I couldn't let this opportunity pass to say, just one more time, perhaps only this last time... Fuck you Dick Cheney, fuck you!

Boehner Crybaby Ad - OUCH!!!

Not a lot to say to add to this but I haven't seen it posted yet. Apparently this is going to be shown on national TV during the Sunday Night Football Game. Well deserved, but Ouch!

And, of course, win the Electoral College!

Let me explain, below the Orange Squiggle of doom...

I guess it's good to have him aboard. His post seems genuine and he makes a number of good points. But damn if it doesn't feel forced.

The pictures of long lines at the polls tend to dishearten us. We think this means our side is more likely to lose votes on election day because people show up to vote and leave when they see the line.

Not. This. TIME.

When I saw the lines in Florida wrapping around the block for early voting, the message to me was clear. We're not walkng away this time.

Here's the link and OMFG!

My favorite part is his closing paragraph.

This is what the Republican Party has done to us this year: It has placed within reach of the Oval Office a woman who is a religious fanatic and a proud, boastful ignoramus. Those who despise science and learning are not anti-elitist. They are morally and intellectually slothful people who are secretly envious of the educated and the cultured. And those who prate of spiritual warfare and demons are not just "people of faith" but theocratic bullies. On Nov. 4, anyone who cares for the Constitution has a clear duty to repudiate this wickedness and stupidity.

But there's more!

OK, on the Pro side:

* It's Stone: He'll clearly rip W a new one.

* It looks funny and the reviews are pretty good thus far.

* The dude playing Rove is his spitting image!

* In a way... Aren't the commercials they're running RIGHT NOW a constant reminder that we don't need 4 more years of Republican leadership?

Wow... 8 years ago my Republican friends said "Don't worry man, trust us, things are going to be OK." They said the economy would be strong and they'd bring back ethics in government. George W. Bush was on record as opposing "Nation Building" and as being a guy who supported the troops. We already had a surplus and the cold war was over... Everyone was talking about how to spend the "Peace Dividend". Hard to believe that was only 8 years ago.

About 9 months into George W. Bush's term we were hit by the worst terrorist attack in our history. The country rallied behind him. The Republicans used the surge in fear and support to strengthen their control of Congress. They used their 100% control over our Government to cut taxes... Not much else. They were unwavering in their support for this President and his war. On their watch nobody put on the brakes until we had a crisis.

I don't know if there are many football fans here. I'm a huge Chicago Bears fan. Tough sledding last year but maybe we'll be back this season! Maybe not. I love the sport.

During the NFL draft this year, there was a sidebar human interest story. A guy named Caleb Campbell played at Army last year. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions this season, an NFL football team.

As USA Today said today:

Tweety kicking some ass last night got me thinking. Have we seen a real change in the media and how they handle wingnuts? Olbermann is now tied in the ratings with O'Reilly and the Republican brand is in the toilet. Is this giving the traditional media more backbone?

Or is it that this Presidency is coming to an end. Did the media treat this President differently because we're at war? Maybe they don't feel the same reverence to McCain because he isn't the standing Commander in Chief? Or maybe some of the blush came off the rose when Rumsfled was exposed as totally incompetent. The one thing most of the media thought the Republicans could do effectively was run the military. These days, I'm hearing them report the facts, that our military is being systematically destroyed by this administration.

Is it that Karl Rove is gone and they aren't as afraid to tell the truth these days? They don't fear the retribution he would typically unleash on their "un-American" behavior.
