Well, there are other places where you may feel constrained from expressing last minute doubts that our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over.
Not here!
New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Indiana- McCain runs the table. Heck, even Stars Hollow turns to the experienced maverick and his oh so cute and smart successor, our very own Caribou Barbie!
Sackcloth and ashes for progressive hopes and dreams.
Ah well, it’s the fight I’ve always hoped for- to the death against impossible odds.

Seriously, it’s ok to worry.
Doesn’t excuse you from fighting though.
think your soul is trapped in another century.
Ah well, it’s the fight I’ve always hoped for- to the death against impossible odds.
Sometimes however I leave my soul in the washing machine and forget to take it out and then it gets a moldy air.
Are you doing a Stars tonight?
I admonish those I deem concern trolls, I rail against the pundits who explain how victory can be snatched from the jaws… And yet and yet hope prevails. Will we won’t we.. join the dance. I have never done well at dances. Always ended up in agony and over passed kinda like my voting record.
Hopes are dashed aren’t they? Even spell check dashes my hope. My doubts do not lie with the candidate or Democrats but with the freakin altered reality we have experienced day after day for the last decade. The decades before only the building crescendo to the last the final enactment of total insanity. Will we let let go? Snark and reality meet in superstition you gotta freak no?
All of those states are ???????
To make you sick stuff!
(P.S. Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, in Hawaii, passed away Monday. How sad and ironic! Both had hoped that she would see her way through until, at least, the election results!)
Has the GOP decided he’s not worth spending another cent on?
When you’re hot you’re hot. Or something…
It’s important!
A Quick One Re Election Voting — Important!
There is cause for anxiety, ek, plenty of it.
Not trying to put a damper on our spirits (mine are high, too), but I’m afraid, too!
All of this anxiety is because these depraved scum in this Administration have not been brought to justice — all other criminals are brought to justice, if caught! These criminals have been caught over and over and still not been brought to justice! Makes me ill!
As my favorite Zen teacher used to tell me (repeatedly, because sometimes I’m slow on the uptake), “Worrying is not preparation. Thinking is not preparation and is not reliable.” By this he meant that worrying didn’t get anything done, and it wasn’t even a preparation for getting anything done. Similarly, thinking about what could go wrong. The task, so to speak, was to be focused on right action and to do that.
There are parts of this we absolutely cannot control. We can vote. We can call others and ask them to vote. We can go for a walk and breathe deeply. We can visualize a favorable outcome. If we are skilled, we can control our anxiety. We can smile and be thankful. If we aren’t skilled, we can find something to occupy ourselves so that our anxiety and worry don’t make us have a bad day.
…all that worryin’ is what leads liberals to needin’ big government programs to cover their butts.
“Oooohhhh, what happens if my heart gives out and we don’t have socialized medicine? Whatever will I do?”
Walk it off! That’s what a real maverick would do!
