    We all wait with baited breath.
    Bated: To withhold or lessen the intensity.

    Pedantic: Overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, esp. in teaching.

    And if you're going to correct someone on spelling, just whisper it, we have rules to stop this kind of thing clogging up the forum.

    Your chastising of me for mocking you for correcting me for correcting someone else just clogged up the forum's tubes.

    Which is while we have these rules.
    I'm interested to see how many times you continue to break the holy forum rules by correcting me for laughing at you for chastising me for mocking you for correcting me for correcting someone el... well, do you see what you... what you're doing there? I mean, it's funny because it's hypocritical.

    Why is proving a point a hypocrytical thing to do?
    Because your precious rules -- who's being pedantic? -- say to leave the moderation to the moderators, one of which you are not. So you are breaking the rules to enforce the rules. Isn't that funny?

    Now now, fellas. Kiss and make up. Seriously. Kiss. Now. Do it. :P

    As for elections, it's still very close with Murray vs. Rossi. I found it amusing that a friend on FB made an offhand comment about if someone fails to keep their promises over the last 18 years, why should they still have a job? I'm 99% sure he was referring to Murray.

    I kindly educated him a bit on that comment.

    I see that Reid is winning vs. Angle in Nevada. Good to see one less Tea Party person winning.

    Can someone hook me up with a feed of California? I want to see the cloud arise when the votes for Prop 19 come in.

    Other than that, I'm torn between the feeling of "Well, let's see how you like it when you get what you ask for." and "It will be the poor that suffer for the follies of the rich.".

    This one is less crashy than the official government page. Scroll to the bottom.

    How am I breaking rules? Just don't do it again and there's nothing to worry about.
    This is hilarious! You're perpetuating the chain by insisting (though you aren't a moderator) that I should stop pointing out the strangeness of your correcting me for laughing at you for chastising me for mocking you for correcting me for correcting someone else.

    I thought it had failed but it's close and only 1/5 areas have voted. When's flashy info-graphics when you need them?

    Stop clogging the tubes. Walk away, stop correcting people for minor mistakes, and this goes away.
    You understand that you just clogged the tubes by telling me not to clog the tubes, thereby correcting me for pointing out the strangeness of your correcting me for laughing at you for chastising me for mocking you for correcting me for correcting someone else.

    On the gov site there are interactive flash maps of the precincts, but I can hardly get them to load.

    [Edit] AP has already declared Prop 19 toast. Jumping the gun a little?

    Have there been any propositions on gay marrage on this ballot in any states?

    Did Harry Ried just say "I thank my 10 brothers and sisters."?

    Not California. But it's kinda a moot point here.
  • OmnutiaOmnutia
    It's gone up to the federal level, hasn't it?

    I don't know about that, but the california supreme court overturned Prop 8, making Gay marriage legal.

    How do people think this is going to effect the science in schools effort? I'm not too familliar with how the state representatives effect things within their state.

    Prop 19 needs a million votes to close the gap. This is not looking so good.

    We have a Festival called Mardi-Grass in a town not south of here called Nimbin, and it's being discussed in the rest of the country as we speak - but really, it's not that serious or enforced, here. Well more than half the nation admit to using marijuana on multiple occasions.

    We just passed the 40% reporting mark and no change. I'm giving up on Prop 19. Oh well, so much for progressivism. Time to go to bed.

    When you're down here, We can go check it out. At the very least, you can confuse the folks back home with pictures of a 20 foot long joint rolling down the road on a trailer, and pictures of random hippes.

    If you were going to get rid of someone American people you should have got rid of Harry Reid and kept Russ Fiengold.. Seriously America I AM DISAPPOINT.

    In a lot of ways, being an American is like being a Red Sox or Cubs fan. You have to learn to live with disappointment.
