Time it took to vote in Springfield, VA:  4 minutes
Time it took to get free Starbucks coffee afterwards: 8 minutes

When I see Karl Rove predict that Obama will win in a 338-200 landslide, it makes me think it's all part of a big plot to lull Obama supporters into not voting.

I want to know about the Robin Hood .jpg on your desktop, Junk.

It's research.  Not very interesting:

Now I can start worrying in earnest.

When I saw this, I finally knew what Oppenheimer and the rest of the Manhattan Project must have felt when they watched that atomic bomb go off in Alamogordo. So fascinating, so horrifying. It was like being one of the Nazis at the end of Raiders, staring at the beautiful spirits in wonder, then seeing them turn into the awesome, destructive, face-melting terror of a holographic dude from the Black Eyed Peas.

You said it. After that interview, Anderson Cooper assured his viewers: "Lots more holograms coming up..." Dear god, I hope this becomes the MAIN way they interview people on CNN.

I'm really hoping the holograms spread past the news, although I'm not sure in what capacity.

[Sarah]

Maybe I'll go to the record fair yet.

Although there is much to be happy about today, I'd just like to say BOOO on the Proposition 8 approval. What the fuck.

Here's one for TE:

Palin Once Greeted McCain Staff Wearing Only A Towel

As some already have pointed out, the GOP tries to put a lot of blame on Palin (which is weird if you consider her a future presidential candidate). About her shopping spree:

An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

Let the self-destruction begin!
