Any liberal greater than 25 years of age probably has less than two contiguous brain cells. :P

It was a wild ending to what looked like a blowout for most of the game and the Colts ended up winning in OT(not good for the Titans' standing in our division). Peyton, the king of interceptions, saved their bacon.

Morning! I had to put out all the trash before I could get here-we forgot about it last night, and by the time I remembered this morning, hubby had left for work.
In California today
The people will have their say-
Will it be contiguous terms?
Or will the voters stand firm
And tell Grayout to just go away..

Manning is having a heck of a year. Then again, maybe I'm just over rating him because hes' a white quarterback. (/Rush inspired humor)

When hubby went to bed last night I told him to go ahead and turn the TV off in the family room. He went to bed assuming Tampa had walked away with the game - so did I.

We were talking about turnout...Note this trend.... The two highest turnout Non Presidential races....
The poll projects a statewide turnout of 65 percent, a percentage not exceeded in a non-presidential race since 1982, when 69.8 percent of Californians cast ballots in a gubernatorial race that saw George Deukmejian beat Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley.
Ten million votes cast would top the most ever recorded in a California non-presidential race. The current high is 8.9 million for the 1994 re-election of Gov. Pete Wilson over Kathleen Brown.
High turnout been berry berry good to Cali Pubbies...

Thanks for the link! I don't eat ice cream, but I ordered some I Hate the French Vanilla and Gun Nut to support our troops. Hubby will get a kick out of it, I'm sure.

I've never heard of a "dirty martini", but then, I don't drink martinis. Does it have more of a taste with some olive juice in it?

Nickles won't run again in Oklahoma. That is not good news. He is one of the few good guys.

The current high is 8.9 million for the 1994 re-election of Gov. Pete Wilson over Kathleen Brown. Prop 187 brought out the vote that day. It pushed Wilson to a second term and, if it had been embraced by the Republican Senate Candidate, he would have beaten Feinstein too.
