@lushalicious: Thanks! And it feels awesome. I am so psyched. I have been terrorising everyone I know - go out and vote! The right to vote is not as easy to come by as some think. I'm 34 and this is the first time I have been able to vote anywhere and I have been wanting to vote since I turned 18.

@50FtQueenie: Thanks! And GOOD! I don't want to be crying alone.

I just voted in Brooklyn today. I became a citizen in 2006 and so this was my first presidential election. That said, I think I would have been emotional, regardless.

@MegSpencer: Yeah, I too had a moment when I thought - Oh no, John, she's about to give you a beat down.

@hannahwilde: Oh wait. What about the guy going on about Community Organisers and how it readies you for a career as a trial lawyer or rebel leader - Osama Bin Laden is a Community leader, didn't cha know?

Isn't this the same woman who allegedly has a tanning bed in her home. frugal? Oh and we didn't buy the clothes but they're on the plane but they had to be bought for the Republican Convention.

@wednesdayam: that was a great show. The first show they did about this, "Giant Pool of Money" was amazing too. The Giant Pool of Money

"i hate to go into this", but i will!

That was so hilarious. I'm thinking about heading out to the Times Square area to watch "The Bush Doctrine".

@CreoleSugar: i totally agree. when i am reading something here and there is a link to perez hilton, i'm saddened because i know i won't get to the whole story or to hear the sneak preview of a song. i cut him off a while back and i refuse to give him one click of my time.

@VargasVegetarian: now you have me thinking of the boondocks episode with usher, tom and sarah.

@rednrowdy & @SarahMC: Nsaba Buturo is a man, and so I'm thinking he probably is relating it all to his weak mind.

@PilgrimSoul: such as! or rather, in my world view.

Guns don't kill people

@funnyface: haha! i had a conversation like that with some pollster who called to find out about what music i listen to on radio. perhaps your new coworker used to be a pollster.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: what about when he talked about how he explained his appearance to the guy at the front desk and the guy was all - oh, okay?

@TheFormerJuneBronson: @SarahMC: i am seriously addicted to this american life. the boyf has decided that we are going to the moth to experience this storytelling firsthand. my coworkers look at me funny because i am the only person here who listens to npr. even if i'm crazy, now i know i'm not alone.
