Isn’t it amazing what good old-fashioned conservative misogyny can do? Congrats to Mia Love: we feel a strong affection, for which we lack a word, toward you.

    The War on Women continues. It should be 101. Why isn’t it? Check your privilege and meet me in Red Square, Moscow.

    I assume the VA senate race has triggered an automatic recount?

    When I went to bed, Mia Love was running slightly behind.

    Damn it!

    When I woke up, she had won!

    AWESOME!

    Apparently Tom Brokaw want’s to know if Republican will stop raping and pillaging now that they’ve won a mandate to pass Obama’s entire agenda.

    Mia love WON? Hot damn!

    I had to go to bed before those results came in. This is definitely a good morning.

    Now hold their feet to the fire and make them fix what has been broken! No more crying boner would be a good start.

    new majority’s feet to a very, very hot fire…

    Chris Hayes was hoping some Republican rapists would stop by his place after watching Election Returns.

    According to RCP, which might not be updating, Warner only leads by .6%. I don’t know how many votes that represents, but in Alaska they’re referencing absentee ballots that haven’t been counted and are still eligible until Nov.19.

    Sullivan is up by 4 points in Alaska.

    In VA, Warner is up about 12000 votes last I heard. Close for Ed, but probably too much to over come.

    So .6% is 12,000 votes in Virginia. So the question is how many absentee ballots are out there. 12,000 votes sounds like a lot but it’s relative. The combined vote total of Brown and Shaheen is in the neighborhood of Hagan’s margin of loss.

    I would not concede it, it just looks like Warner squeaked it out. Which sucks, because it would be pudding all around if Warner lost.

    For what we’re paying them they need to work 5 weeks a month. One week legislating and four weeks doing low profile over-site.

    It may be just a Texas thing, but we managed to dump D Pete Gallegos, an Obama sock puppet who screwed the veterans over on the VA mess.

    Greg Abbott managed to win a majority of Hispanic males and over 40% of Hispanic females. Tell me again why we need to pander on immigration?

    Heh. Sorry. Anyone who is familiar with a regular rehearsal space for bands knows that most of the beer cans have a disturbing amount of liquid remaining, much of which is spitback. Cleanup after a few weeks can be a fairly nasty event.

    I would not blame Rule 5…

    I would praise it.

    It remains one of the best damn rules ever made.

    No, I was the slowest one to respond. The rest left me standing here in their dust.
