Luck and Lack Therof

My niece goes down to AC to play the slots. It's her birthday. She plays a game and a light goes off. The thinks she might have busted the machine. Turns out she put in a quarter and won $1800.00 dollars. If she would have splurged for 2 more quarters, it would have been $50,000.00. She did good, took her money she brought down and put it with the winnings.

My luck was not so good. I got to see a late model pick up truck soar through the air. It rolled at least 4 (i think 6) times. A piece of it hit my car. Took out my front grill and bumper and busted a transmission line. So my day was peppered with hunting around for all of this shit i need. Hopefully they will give me a rental.

The kids were here. I took some pics that will be up at some point. Please leave nice comments. And start buying me expensive xmas presents.

that is all...

It had to happen.....

I love this site......this guy analyzes the comics and is usually pretty funny and dead on.

Check it out.

FULL CONTROL

"Macaca" Allen concedes to Webb in Virginia. The Dems now have a working majority in both houses.

I'm sure that gold is gonna fall out of the sky now.

It looks like the fights will start next week. Bush wants Bolton approved for the UN and there are several Dems and at least one Rep that are gonna fight him on it.

In other news. Tom Bradley will coach PSU this weekend. He's the one that's so much fun to watch. Paterno will not be in the stadium. Dr's orders. It's the 3rd game that he's missed in his career.

New pics in the picblog

Say What You Will...

Brittany Spears is a genius.

Any other time of the year and she's front page in 3 news cycles. Say you're getting divorced on Election Day and it gets lost in the shuffle.

Next moves? Stop music career. Get back to fightin' weight. Start porn career.

A New Day......

Frankly? I expected it to start raining money today.

I predicted that Santorum would lose by 7 percent and Swann by 12 percent. The final numbers??

Rendell 60 Swann 40

Casey 59 Santorum 41

That right there was enough to make my night. Rendell's win was a given, but getting rid of that stain on the Senate was worth the price of admission. The scary part was listening to the GOP pundits on CNN say that there will be a "Draft Santorum" movement for President. God help us all.

So, our little corner of the world was taken care of....now what??

NO incumbent Democrat lost.

Let that sink in for a second.

Before I went to bed last night I knew that we got the house. Everyone on the panel said that the Senate wasn't going to happen.

Then, right as I was nodding off, James Carvelle let out a whoop. Turns out that some numbers were coming in that were turning positive for the Dems.

I get up.

We've got the house with a 34 seat margin. And we are 2 seats away from controlling the Senate.

Then, around noon, we gain one more seat. And finally, around 9pm, Virginia goes to the Dems.

Some of these races are close. But all have been called and should hold up. The Dems take the Senate AND the House. Wahoo!!!!

I gotta hold my pockets open and stand outside.....cya!!!

THIS JUST IN........MAJOR

Brittany Spears has filed for divorce from Kevin Federline.

World asks, what took you so long?

Election Night 6:15

First good ray of hope. Rep. pundit Ed Rollins says that large numbers should mean a large Independent turn out. If it does, the Rep's are fucked. Ind's are running against them 2 to 1.

I voted at 6:00 at my rinky dink lil voting area. It was packed and 850 people had already voted.

Election night rocks. I hope to know 95% of what's going on by 11:30

Has anyone been to England? Has anyone seen these slides?

This might actually be words to a song I haven't written yet, but it's a reference to this.

and an accompanying movie....

I just read a letter about one man's experience.

BTW....Cat says that they are talking about getting rid of the football program at Mansfield University. No football program, probably no fall homecoming, she says. I think they will still continue a fall homecoming, but it will be far different. People like colleges in the fall, I guess. I know I do. :)
