We haven't had any political news in my LJ lately...

How's this for boggling? Rick Santorum started to call Obama the N-word, but caught himself in the middle of it:



:/ Zimmerman using "coon" and now this. Who uses these words anymore? What the hell, people?

Damn you! You ninja'd your previous post and now my reply to that is worthless! Blast!

Sorry! I ended up feeling like it was too mean and might hurt feelings, so I made it private instead. (But I did end up buying one, I had to go grocery shopping and the counter was right there...)

Ya, my whole point of it was that people often will buy tickets cause it's a "what if..." thing and you'd always be asking "what if..." if you didn't buy a ticket. Of course there are the ones that go overboard and try to use it as an escape but that happens with pretty much everything anyways.

Yeah, that's a good point, too. Oh well, I guess we'll see! :P

I think I deserve a prize for being the most losingist person. Not one single number matched. Not one! Now I feel especially silly.

The kind of person who would vote for Santorum probably couldn't care less about this, unfortunately. :( But I definitely am in the "What the hell, people?" camp too.

It makes me sad to think there are that many folks like that out there, but you're right... :/

I laughed when I saw it, to be honest. Wasn't surprised at all, though I was surprised that news media hasn't picked up on it yet. Looking forward to Daily Show on Monday!

I guess it's not entertaining enough that the mainstream news media is interested in it... :/
