Like a skating rink? Ice skating rink? Skateboarding type deal?

I went to the skater thing they had in Cedar Park and somebody had a, I am not kidding, a boombox playing Nirvana. It was amazing.

Skateboarding.  We already have a huge one in our park district and I'm all for it because it keeps the skate rats confined that location.  But there have been rumblings that we "need" another one.

Those states without early voting look so backwards and archaic compared to the sophistication of Texas.

According to this, NJ is one of them - aka has no excuse needed, early voting.

To be fair to Guller, I took advantage of this option, but the ballot was never mailed.  So the Bergen County Clerk did not cover themselves in glory.  Had to vote provisionally today.

QuoteSarah Palin tells Bill O'Reilly she's confident about Donald Trump in Michigan: "Polls are only good for strippers and cross-country skiers"

She was at a restaurant a mile and a half from my house yesterday campaigning for Trump.  I should have gone there for lunch just for the lols.

:lol:  That would confuse the hell out of me.  I'd be asking all over where to register & wouldn't believe the yokels when they told me I didn't need to.

Here's how I voted:

President: Hillary over Donald
Senate: Jim Gray* over Rand Paul
Shelbyville city council:  picked six candidates by playing 'eenie meenie miney moe'

The End.

* mayor of Lexington, KY.  Gay dude.  Girlfriend's dad used to work for him.

edit:  Oh, and some chick for state senate over the guy candidate because she's hot and has nice boobs.

QuoteNew CNN electoral map: Clinton drops below 270

What's changed?

-- Maine's 2nd Congressional District moves from "battleground" to "lean Republican"

-- New Hampshire moves from "lean Democrat" to "battleground"

-- Ohio moves from from "battleground" to "lean Republican"

-- Utah from "battleground" to "lean Republican"

Winner of THE grumbler point.

Yes CNN's headline is that if Clinton loses every single battle ground state to Trump she loses. But if she wins only one she wins. Exciting.

It's funny to see that Ohio apparently isn't a major battleground state, while North Carolina is.

Florida, of course, never changes...

Breitbart is arguing that Trump is winning by any prediction model and if it turns out he loses, it means the elections were rigged. :hmm:
