We’re having a shindig at our place here in Lawrence on Tuesday, November 4th — Election night! An opportunity to sit a room with our fellow snarky Liberals, nosh on nibblies, maybe have a drink or six, and watch the writhing death-throes of the Republican Party.

After you vote, come on over around dinner-ish. The returns will be on all night long — MSNBC, so we can enjoy the running commentary of Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow — and we’ll cheer the wins, boo the losses and mock the conservative commentators.

RSVP via comments or email! BYOB and something munchy to share. Some drinks and group-dinner-ish stuff will be provided as well.

We hope to see you there!

I just got finished watching the first two episodes of the show on Cartoon Network.

I know that the pilot, released to theatres, was supposedly Ass on a Cracker. Laughably bad, by most reports. Still, my inner eight-to-fourteen year old (for whom Star Wars was Life, The Universe and EVERYTHING), won over, and I gave the show a try.

Damned if it wasn’t pretty cool! Obviously a little bit “kidded down” (especially with the amping up of the Battle Droids as comic relief — literally Rude Mechanicals), but surprisingly good.

By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America.”

It’s pretty obvious that they have nothing left, and they’re hoping that Palin’s so-called “Babe” factor will rope in the desperately-in-need-of-a-blowjob conservative male base.

So, pretty much, the Republican ticket has been revealed for what it is:
