4:52 PM: Woo hoo! Florida to Gore! CNN just called it! Bye Bushie!
7:15: That was a total waste of time. 2 hours to go to the dentist, 20 minutes of which were spent at the dentist's office, and the rest stuck in the vast metal herd. I can't believe these people go through that every single night. No wonder they're such jerks when they go out..
OK. So. According to my own little prognostications, if either Gore or Bush won both Pennsylvania and Florida, that was probably the election. If they split it, then it could still go either way. As of about 20 minutes ago, that was a comforting theory, because the networks had called both states for Gore. Now, though, half of them have taken Florida back into "undecided".
Proving once again that, hey, who knows?
8:06: Hil lah REE! Hil lah REE! Hehehehehe, hi Trent Lott, it's a beyoooooooooootiful day today don't you think? Ooh, are you getting a little red in the face there??
Hey, looka that, Gore won California.
9:04: Fuckles, this is too nervous making.
This is the best thing I have seen in this entire election:
Distort the future president
10:37: It's so funny - and so sad - to watch Tim Russert try to keep vamping through the middle of his night, with nothing to say. Holding up his little white board like a speed freak: "See, Bush needs Florida or any of these other states, but Gore needs Florida and one of these other states. Because Florida has 25 electoral votes, and all of these other states combined have 25 votes. Bush has 246 votes, so he only needs 24 votes. Gore has 242 votes, so he needs 28 votes. Which means he needs to carry Florida, and then at least one of these other states. But Bush, who only needs 24, if he wins Florida, that's it, he's President, but if he doesn't, he's not out, because..."
I'm waiting for Tom Brokaw to give him a dollar and tell him to go away.
OK, Bush will win. I'm prepared for this. Honest.
It's funny that I can't find any decent results for the state or local races. Of course I haven't looked yet....
Hey! Matt Gonzalez is kicking Juanita Owens' butt! Neat. Maybe this district election thing is a good idea after all.
I still don't really like the city proposition preventing landlords from passing on the costs of improvements. I want my landlady to ask me to help pay for repairs around here. I want to her to keep renting it, not get so sick of paying for it that she sells the building, because that's when it'll get torn down or turned into condos or office space or a Starbucks or something.
It's winning, though. But the good anti-property proposition, that puts a limit on live-work conversions, that one's losing. Dumb voters! Do as I say!
11:08: Heh. Russert's board just says "FLORIDA" in big scrawly letters. Meanwhile, Brokaw just said in interviewing someone, "But Bush needs to win your state and Florida, doesn't he?" I expected Russert to leap out of his chair and grab him by the throat, screaming "NO NO NO NO NO!!!! BUSH ONLY NEEDS FLORIDA!!! IT'S ALL ABOUT FLORIDA, MAN!!!! ALL ABOUT FLORIDA, MAN!!!!
11:23:
I need a drink.
Willfully blind self-indulgent nebbish or amusingly quirky old coot? And how bout that local sports team? Discuss among yourselves.
