A Distraction Before E-Day


All sorts of silly little sayings and thoughts have been wriggling around my brain today. I guess it's in nervous anticipation of tomorrow. As much as I want it to be over because my nerves can't take it anymore, I'm looking forward to spending the eve with Tim, our eyeballs glued to CNN.

I feel totally moronic and dumb to even admit it, but I started to think superstitiously too - like when I was driving home today and the setting sun was a huge orange "O" over the horizon. A sign for sure, agreed? Very good.

So whether you identify with them or not, I hope some of my brain children and observations will at least make you crack a smile.

  • I love my Mama, and I love Obama. My Mama, Obama, my Mama, Obama. Everybody in the house put your hands up.

  • I predict that Barack will be a popular boy's name in the next few years. And for girls, Baraccuda.

  • There's a 20% chance that if McCain wins, he won't make it through the first four years. That's a 1 in 5 chance of a Palin presidency. President Palin. That's when I start praying publicly, people. For sure. Gah!

  • Swing state residents will hereby be known as Swingers. Naughty naughty swingers.

  • Just in case things get really really red, moving to Canada is fairly easy. I looked into this in 2004 - apparently so did a lot of my peeps.

  • If things don't go my way tomorrow, I will need a few days. About 1460 days to be more exact. It would be best to not mention the R word to me during this time.

  • A nod to 2004.

  • My favorite electoral map.
