If you've already voted, go watch it. If you haven't voted, what are you doing reading this? Go vote!

Good stuff. I, too, am watching it. [Big Grin]

And I'm not even American. [Razz]

I feel vaguely offended that you are deriving pleasure from our misery.

But, of course, it's OK when I do it. [Wink]

*sigh* One of the few times I wish I had a TV. And, of course, cable.

Can't you steal both of those?

Ouch, the rolleyes. That hurts me. [Razz]

But re: ethics... well. I have views about what's right and wrong, but my assessment of rightness and wrongess does vary with changing circumstances, so I suppose it isn't unfair to call me a situational ethicist.

Yeah, it's back. Jon Stewart is a funny, funny man. [Big Grin]

(shhhhh, mee too. But it's not as funny that way.)

And with no Jon Stewart, I will just sit here and obsessively hit refresh on the multiple browser windows I've got going...

Indeed.

Also, you're getting dangerously close to the big 1k, there, ElJay.

The snippets are just funny things I've been hearing folks say on The Daily Show.

I was hmmm-ing the 1k comment, actually. So what? [Smile]

I appreciate the snippets, they're funny.

Glaphyra, I'm confused. But that's okay, it's a state I'm comfortable in.

ElJay, I feel your pain. Daily Show just wasn't enough reason for me to get cable, either. Alas, I'm refreshing browser windows just like you. And NPR just isn't that funny. [Frown]

You probably didn't get it because it was a really lame comment twinky. If I weren't feeling sleep deprived it probably wouldn't even have occurred to me.

The gay marriage bans were what I expected. But kudos to Canada.

ElJay, you only think I have accumulated that many votes. These are not my droids.

Ah, okay. Then you can have a sneak preview: Landmark. And that's all I intend to say.

Aw, Anna, you should have come over to our room and watched it! It was great.

And Bernard just asked if I would mind if he started looking into grad colleges out of the country. [Angst]

Good point, MayDay! Go Bush! If he wins maybe all those liberal elite that I hear people complaining about will finally move to Canada. We'll be more than happy to take your doctors, professors, and researchers in all areas. Go Bush Brain Drain! [Razz]
