all the people walking around with their thumbs up their asses thinking voting doesn't make any difference.

Time to wake up, all of you.

If people in the halls of power don't wake up, we'll get another Trump and the next one will win. If the people don't wake up, he'll get in by a landslide.

It's definitely pull your head out time in this country.

Its strange because 2008 was never close and never looked like it was and right now hillary is probably at least on equal footing to obama in 2012. Maybe i wasnt overly concerned that romney was both really dumb and extremely unstable. If trump somehow wins i will just be waiting for the nuclear Armageddon

But I was really worried throughout most of October.

2008 was mostly just concern that maybe the polls were wrong and people were too afraid to admit they weren't going to vote for Obama because he was black.

in response to a query about whether or not Ambien was available in a 60-hour time release tablet:

With my 12 bottles of wine
on the grocery store conveyor (it's a 20% discount at New Seasons if you buy a case), I looked sheepishly at the checker and said, "I've got to make it through the rest of the election season somehow." He just nodded sagely and reminded me to not forget my 3 stalks of celery, which he cleverly stuffed into one of the six-packs.

I'm also pretty confident, but the alternative is so scary it's impossible not to be even a little unsettled.
