If you’ve got some time to kill, you could always compose emails to Jonah and K-Lo , with elaborate and fanciful details about how John McCain might just pull this thing out. That way they can revel in the possible until the inevitable results come in and their spirits are crushed like a beer can against Joe the Plumbers forehead.
Bonus points if you include details of how Jesus came to you in a vision and K-Lo actually prints it…

No. Not after this chestnut from yesterday:
We’re One Day Away from Changing America [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Obama said that a few ago in Florida. Am I the only one who doesn’t want to change America in any fundamental way? Does that make me crazy? And alone?
Shitty editing? Check. Pathos? Check. Total Self-Unawareness? Check. This makes me sad and, in a different way, fall down in laughter.
“Even saw one old dude standing in line reading the WSJ. There’s still hope!!” — yeah, dream on, wingnuts.
I just finished doing a morning of GOTV in rural New Hampshire, and it was inspiring to see the number of pickup trucks w/ old “support the troops” stickers/veterans license plates give us the thumbs up. If as a Republican candidate you’ve lost the gun rack and American Legion crowd in New Hampshire you’re in a spot of trouble… At the polling station a couple of the GOP candidates for state house seats could be heard grumbling about all the indignities their voters had suffered in some sort of novel electoral ju-jitsu: “if I whine about it all up front it’ll make me feel better when I get my ass kicked all day.”
Cry me a river.
Different recipient, but there’s a fine example of the form over to Whiskey Fire.
And they said good self-parody was hard to find. Thanks anonymous guy in Michigan!
The best part of the Corner over the next 4 years is going to be watching them excitedly talk up Mooselini as the GOP standard bearer in 2012 – I’m sure they are already blaming McCain for not being right-wing enough – and them watch their dejection as the Republican primary voters reject their gal. (Surely Baby Jesus doesn’t love me enough to have them actually nominate her next time around, does he?)
Oh dear. That is just downright sadistic. I love it!
“Hey Jonah, just wanted to report the good news: in my entire office only forty percent of the workers are voting for Obambi the socialist. Go Joe the Plumber” – Melvin, Republican National Committee
But you can rest assured that K-Lo will always be for Romney… in fact she’s probably already writing the posts she’ll put out there about how if they’d only have nominated the Mittster, it would have been easy to beat Obama.
Dhhhhhhhhhhhh. My middle son, Mr. Goth, Mr. Sarcastic, holder of the Nihilism Chair here at Casa Biscuitbarrel is as twitchy as a starving cat during the Santa Ana winds. (He’s never experienced them, so saying this would mean nothing to him.) I told him that he could turn the television off and leave it off for another three-plus hours, until 8 p.m. EST. But he’s engaged in a non-stop bitchfest, and oh, oh, oh, how I wish K-Lo were here! Mr. Goth is arguably the only person on earth who could silence her! Also, he could fight with her rather than with me.
I also told Mr. Goth and his younger brother that it would be more tactful to call their fellow students “low-information voters” rather than “stupid,” but I don’t know if this has stuck.
Right about now K-Lo is clutching her baby Jesus fetus Rick Santorum commemorative blanket and sobbing into her embroidered Mitt Romney pillow. Expect a deluge of Romney/Palin with Ricky as attorney general in 2012 for the next 4 years.
Damn I love the Corner.
The Billmon letter is a thing of beauty.
As I was reading this, Randy Newman was on iTunes, singing:
She will laugh at my mighty sword.
She will laugh at my mighty sword.
Why must everybody laugh at my mighty sword?
Lord, help me if you will…
Suddenly, the Republican mindset makes so much more sense…
Mad props to TBogg. Did you call the Black Panther thing or what?
Steve Gilliard. We gotta drink a toast to Steve. In our darkest hour in 2004, when thoughts of Canada tempted us, he said “stay and fight” Look what has happened. Steve, this swig of champagne is for you.
Fuck the fucking Yankees.
Yes. A toast to the valiant Steve. He’s truly missed.
Just the thought of confrontation with a phalanx of African-American senior citizens in black berets near their polling places must be demoralizing for the Rethug “youts” of today.
What Billmon letter, please? I so miss Billmon…I’d love to read his reaction to this extraordinary passage in American history…
