Something important to remember for tomorrow, you guys: no matter which way you vote and no matter who wins, always do your best to keep in mind that millions and millions (MILLIONS! LITERALLY!) of people disagree with you and wish that it had gone another way. This applies to pretty much everything, by the way. If there’s a TV show that you love, millions of people hate it. If there’s a movie that you hate, millions of people love it. And so on and so forth. It’s a hard one to wrap your mind around sometimes, but that doesn’t make it any less true or meaningful. No matter how deeply you might believe yourself to be right on an issue, and in certain cases you probably ARE right, because I do think that we live in a world of right and wrong and it is not ALL up in the air, that doesn’t mean that the people you disagree with don’t have equally powerful convictions about their own beliefs. I hope you don’t find this post condescending or anything, that’s not its intention. I point this out because it’s something I myself need help remembering from time to time. What do you mean you never watched Sifl N’ Olly, you don’t like mackerel sushi, and you think God hates gay people and therefore they deserve to be legislatively discriminated against?! (All things of equal value and importance, I’m sure.) And now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some old episodes of The Sopranos to watch, the greatest television show that has ever aired full stop no contest impossible to disagree with me.

I would never gamble, but if I did, I would bet the moneylines, in the following manner:
Presidential Election Democratic Party -375
Swing States:
Iowa Democrat -400
Wisconsin -550
Colorado Democrat -165
North Carolina Republican -550
Virginia Republican +145
Florida Republican -215
Democrat Democrat -900
New Hampshire Democrat -300
Ohio Democrat -350
Philadelphia Eagles +3
Oh, and if Romney wins, we’re in the shit.
Baby animals? Baby animals!
A “Baby Animals of the World” photo feature appeared in my local paper today. None of them are post-able, but they’re all delightful. Highly recommended.

Oh my gosh.
Yeah, if the idea that 48% of the country votes for a candidate who wants to give you ECT to get rid of your urge to kiss boys depresses you, take solace in the fact that their hatred is buried firmly in their hearts and isn’t going anywhere.
I have never seen The Sopranos. Also, I’m hosting a small election party tomorrow and I need some ideas for a good drinking game. Other than “drink until you die of alcohol poisoning if Romney wins”, what else should be on there?
My friends and I played a similar game the night George W. ‘won’ his second term. Unfortunately no one died and we all just had to go to work with insane hangovers the next day, knowing there would be another 4 years of W.
Make a banner that says “Thank God” on one side and “God Help Us” on the other? Ok that’s a decorating idea. How about a game of charades where you act out the dumbest talking points?
That’s brilliant!
predict who wins what state? Drink the number of electoral votes if you lose.
drink if a state goes to the opposite candidate than predicted (CA goes republican)?
I’ve already pinned dnr to my shirt
I am adding a “weep into my handbag” to your game.
The best television show to ever air is a threeway tie between Buffy the vampire Slayer, Gilmore Girls, and Veronica Mars.
Everyone knows that.
Woof. You guys, my day has been nuts! Let me tell you- oh. Whoops! Wrong day.
I may disagree vehemently with what you say, Gabe (obviously The Shield is the greatest TV show ever made) but I will comment to the death for your right to say it.
Holy cow you guys, I have not seen a single one of these shows people are putting up as greatest TV show of all time! Quick, what should go in my queue? I have already seen Firefly, Pushing Daisies, Star Trek TNG, The Wire, and Twin Peaks. What am I missing other than, apparently, The Sopranos, The Shield, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars and Buffy?
Anything with David Costabile in it is a sure winner.
deadwood? deadwood.
This should be obvious, but DOCTOR WHO!!!!
Doctor Who, Sports Night season 1 (season 2 gets lame), freaks and geeks, the wonder years.
I really wish Six Feet Under was on netflix, I have never seen all of them.
Six Feet Under
Friday Night Lights
Freaks and Geeks
BUFFY # 1
I am watching Hell on Wheels on netflix streaming, and so far it is enjoyable. I might not go GREATEST SHOW EVER because that is obviously Jem.
I tried to like it, but i kept falling asleep
Trailer Park Boys
Peep Show
Wow, thanks everyone! It looks like my winter viewing schedule is filling up!
if we’re talking dramas
Deadwood
The Sopranos
Friday Night Lights
Veronica Mars
and for ongoing
Breaking Bad
Mad Men
plus Game of Thrones
So Notorious, Tori Spelling’s satirical take on her insane upbringing that basically got her cut out of the family will is always good for many laughs.
A lot of the shows already mentioned are good, but let me be the only person to say this: Buffy is wildly overrated. Watch just about anything else before you watch that.
Buffy is no more a flawed show than any hour-long network show that produced 22 episodes a year for seven seasons. There are going to be some stinkers. But when Buffy was on? It was ON. That being said, the first season was the roughest.
Rest your case Gabe! Rest your case!
Try telling all of that to Stereogum.
Only if it’s presented as a list.
I am going to vote, get some Starbucks, and watch the USA network’s Tuesday night marathon of Law & Order: SVU. Then before I go to bed I will probably turn on the news.
After the surviving the hurricane, I can’t do any more politics. I just can’t. I think after having mother nature try in vain to kick us off the map, I’ve gained some perspective on how stupid politics and government really are.
When we run out of baby animals, we can laugh at the funny hats from the Melbourne Cup.
