Yeah, but House Atreides wants to terraform Arrakis anyway.

I think they've stopped vote-counting in Florida until morning anyhow.

Edit: I'm looking forward to seeing the final count of senators and representatives, the popular vote results, and finding out how many people voted for which third party candidates, if that information gets released at some point. I'll be annoyed if it doesn't. Right now it only shows up as "other" and only in particular states on most of these (rather than as a total)...

Yeah, I'll just update the OP in the morning, so I don't have to worry about Florida and I can have a clean picture.  Good night and good luck Americanos.

Hey, at least you're being a good sport about it. There are plenty of whiners around the net right now who swear up and down "Obama stole the election! BRAGLESDFSDFE!!!!!!!!"

There used to be a good video of the mission screen that had the red pieces of the map falling into the void that I enjoyed during the 2008 cycle, but it's deleted now.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

My manager called me in to ask a non-work-related favor.  It evolved quickly into a political discussion.  He described to me how the last four years have transformed him from a staunch republican to a libertarian.  How the Occupy movement needs to merge with the Tea Party.  I told him there are serious problems with that, given that even if the two movements can agree on problems, they have exactly opposite ideas about solutions.  He went on to describe libertarian solutions as tautological.  Also global warming is because of solar cycles and has little to do with man-made influence.  I'm proud of how tactful I was.  He deserves some credit, too, for not being the type of conservative who can't ever concede a point or agree to set another aside. 

Anyway... libertarianism in America is really frightening me.  It's steadily expanding, and it seems to me like its approach to any problem is to amplify the source of the problem until it reaches critical mass and the ensuing explosion shifts us into an alternate dimension.

Here is that image of Biden and Obama celebrating.

My Sister looked at this and said, "Oh, a same sex slow dance." lol

They are gazing at one another rather intently.

Well, the last 4 years of Republican screaming, agitating and terror-stirring certainly paid off, didn't it?

I mean, I was expecting at least for it to be a near-tie, but Obama appears to have gotten a full two-thirds of the vote. So just like that, he's still president and the Republicans have exhausted god knows how much money and political capital on a complete failure of a candidate. Bet they kinda wish they hadn't tried to pin everything onto this election and build it up to be some sort of 'once-in-a-generation' deciding moment. Little bit of a backfire there, guys.

To be fair, that HAS worked before.

Yep. This is it. They spent the entirety of the last 4 years complaining, and failed. Miserably. There is no "stall till Romney's in", tactic left. If economys picking up in 2016, Dems will make gains. The Reps have only now to show themselves off to america.

Most people don't consider collateral damage to be an acceptable strategy.
