I was pleasantly surprised on Election Eve to crack open a Magic Hat beer and discover some words of wisdom under the cap:
RAISE HOPES, NOT FEARS
I can drink to that.
And now I’m doing my patriotic duty by dancing around the house while listening to Huey Lewis and the News.
Please elect these people to the White House! Pretty please, with sugar on top.
Tomorrow night I’m going to have a big ole party. It will hopefully be a raucous celebration, and if so don’t be surprised if I drunk dial you at one in the morning.
Another reason to love The Wire. But where’s Bunk and Senator Davis?
Can’t you just imagine Clay Davis coming in at the end with a nice long, “SHEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT. You better vote Obama.”
Thanks AmyW for the tip!
I just can’t believe that any newspaper editorial board can look at this presidential election and come out thinking that McCain is its man. I mean, seriously, what the fuck?
Obama is up 112-39 in newspaper endorsements, and here is a smattering of the papers backing McCain: San Diego Union-Tribune, San Francisco Examiner, Tampa Tribune, Boston Herald, New York Post, Columbus Dispatch, and Dallas Morning News. Of the papers backing McCain, only the Newport News (Va.) Daily Press and Jackson (Tenn.) Sun backed Kerry in 2004. There are at least 25 papers backing Obama that supported Bush last time around, including notables like the Chicago Tribune (maybe not a big surprise), the Denver Post, New York Daily News, Austin American-Statesman, Houston Chronicle, Salt Lake Tribune, The Charleston (WV) Gazette, and Wisconsin State Journal.
I’m not sure this is precisely what they had in mind when the first amendment was authored. (Watch the videos.)
