PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!!!! If I see one more lying, full-of-shit negative campaign add, or get one more recorded phone call full of lame-ass allegations, I am going to lose it! And I'm talking to all of you politicians on both sides, and even moreso to you assholes running the ads about all the crap on the Colorado ballot!
On a more civilized note, how about those Rays! You would have had to be a real baseball junkie to know much about these guys before the playoffs (other than their third baseman is one letter away from being a really hot chick!), but these guys can play.
Meanwhile, a sabremetrician (that's a baseball stats geek, for those of you who are normal) named Nate Silver is getting a lot of press for his work with political polling. He is pretty much trying to apply the same statistical analysis methods he used to predict at the beginning of the season that the Rays would play the Dodgers in the World Series to the election. His web site is called FiveThirtyEight.
Silver currently has the likelihood that Obama wins at 95.8%. Meanwhile, the traders over at Intrade have Obama at 80% (a contact that will pay $10 if he wins now costs $8). All of which might make tomorrow's debate interesting, in that McCain has to pull some really amazing rabbits out of his hat. His "Obama is a terrorist" smear campaign doesn't seem to be working.
And in Canada, it's looking good for the Conservatives, but they will still have a minority Government. I bet you didn't even know they were having an election, you ethnocentric bastard!
And speaking of Canada, it's hockey season!!! WOO HOO! Hockey would probably be the only thing the Sarah Palin and I have in common. And Sarah, remember, Philly fans also booed Santa.
