Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 06, 2012 63 Comments

UPDATE 11:19 p.m. -- Obama re-elected, the Senate is a little more Democratic, and the House is about the same or maybe slightly more Republican (still waiting as of this writing to see how some House races play out). Romney campaign has not conceded Ohio yet -- so it's...

Greatest Senior Prank Ever?

Posted by Bryan Jacoutot on November 06, 2012 2 Comments

I cannot at this point verify that this was in fact a Senior Prank, or if it was just a rogue gang of Republican students wanting to make a statement or have a laugh. Whatever the case, my former high school in Cobb County, Georgia has...

What will I do?

Some thoughts. Should Romney lose, there will be trolling beyond belief, including liberals trying to get Republicans to fight with each other in order to tear the party apart. There are fights which will need to be had, but not tomorrow. Operation Demoralize never stops. Don't...

Election Day – Daytime Live

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 06, 2012 35 Comments

There are way too many events today for me to post separately. This is a trial run of what we will do tonight starting at 6 p.m. Eastern, which is a Twitter feed using accounts I selected for today, together with a WordPress "live" feed for me and the other Authors to update (once we reach a certain critical mass of updates, you should be able to scroll through. (I'm also exploring Scribble Live, so we may use that tonight.). READERS CAN POST COMMENTS as usual in the comment section. I will probably leave this "sticky" at the top for a while. Let me know what you think. [TWITTER FEED REMOVED] Click "More" for LI Author updates.

Reader Reports

I am going to regret doing this. You can send me reports and photos, and I will selectively post them. If things get overwhelming, as on National Empty Chair Day, I may have to call it off! If you have reports without photos, do not email me,...

Win or lose, no regrets

No time left. Saw this at the local Wal-Mart (South Elgin, IL). Sure hope that Romney wins the election - we can't afford another four years of Obama, both personally, and as a nation. Keep up the good work! Loyal reader Janet ...

Vote like your country depended on it

I was a student in Moscow when the Miracle on Ice took place. The stats were all on the Soviet's side. They had the more professional operation. They were more seasoned and organized. Statistically, the Soviets had at least an 87% likelihood of winning. But we had motivation. I...

Thanks for your comments on blog format for Election Day. You came down pretty much were I was -- not thrilled with those "live blog" formats like CoverIt Live (which has priced me out of contention). There are alternatives, but I think I have something better. We...

The post title is from the 2:49 mark of this video, passed on to me via Twitter. The broken English, which was added over the soundtrack, adds to the video. And it doesn't hurt that it includes a screen shot from Legal Insurrection (at 2:47). The original video...
