SENT TO ME BY A WORRIED READER:

There is only ONE vote you can be sure your elected Senator will make: the vote to organize the body. However much you might lack enthusiasm for your candidate, a vote for Tim Kaine is a vote for Harry Reid to run the Senate. A vote for Claire McCaskill in Missouri, Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts or Joe Donnelly in Indiana is a vote for Harry Reid.

RAISES EYEBROW: UAE, Qatar seek advanced US missile defense system.  You know what else would be nice?  A foreign policy that amounts to more than kumbayah and innocents abroad.

YEAH, CARTER FOUND US UNGOVERNABLE, TOO: Obama or Romney – neither should expect to get much done in the Congress.  Let me translate for our foreign friends — in this here land “ungovernable” is what we call “American”.  And deadlock in our system is not a bug, it’s a feature, enshrined in our constitution.

SPEAKING OF FISCAL CLIFF: IMF warns over-taxed France risks slipping behind Italy and Spain.

SO… YOU WANT OBAMA THERE? US election winner must act decisively to avert ‘fiscal cliff’, G20 warns.

AND IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS OR RELATIVES WHO ARE VOTING FOR GOODIES: My post yesterday tries to explain why We’ve Come To The End Of Cake.

AND IF YOU NEED TO GET REALLY MAD TO VOTE OBAMA OUT: Behind the crisis in Benghazi, a commander’s lack of firepower.

AND IF YOU NEED TO GET MAD TO VOTE AGAINST OBAMA: Obama suppressing the military vote.

AND IF YOU NEED MORE: We Few, We Happy Few.

THE GREAT CHRIS MUIR ENCAPSULATES THE DAY:

UPDATE: I see Ed had already linked below.  Well, never mind.  I got to explain that, yes, this is my accent.  (Sigh.)

IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT: You have friends crazy enough to be swayed by a crazy foreign-sounding chick telling them Get out and vote! let them hear this.  Yes, that is me.  No, the accent is not a put on.  What is a nice Portuguese-raised girl doing with that accent?  I don’t know!  You should see the looks I got when I taught English comp in college. :)  [And I wasn’t listening to the radio.  We live downtown, and I guess someone with a car radio was parked nearby.  I didn’t hear it, but it showed up on the recording.]

I’M SO TIRED OF THIS: The Cloward-Pivens of the right.

THE CASE FOR LOWER TAXES: Apple paid only 1.9 pct tax on earnings outside US.   Whoever wins the election tomorrow should have the story of the goose that laid the golden eggs embossed on his forehead.  Backward.  So he reads it in the mirror every morning.

WE CAN KILL THE BEAST: Smaug’s Vulnerability.

HE TOLD US BENGHAZI WAS ABOUT A YOUTUBE VIDEO: Obama Means What He Says?

WORTH A READ: Artur Davis Makes Case for Romney.

THERE’S THAT 13%: Slate Also Has Defectors.  To whom it may concern, even with same turnout, 13% hands the election to Mitt.  But this is no time to get cocky.  GO OUT AND WORK.  Then vote.  And work to get out the vote when you’re NOT voting.

AND SPEAKING OF ZOMBIES: The zombie Congress.  I’m going to guess in this case “first you attract them with chocolate covered brainz then you set them on fire is NOT the desired answer.

FROM READER KELLY PARKS:

May I ask a favor? Would you give my zombie web series, “Universal Dead”, a plug on Instapundit? And please mention that our Navy SEALs are played by real Navy SEALs (specifically, Craig “Saw Man” Sawyer, who has since appeared as a weapons expert on History Channel’s “Top Shot”). It also stars DB Sweeney, Doug Jones and Gary Graham. I wrote it to be my alternate sci-fi explanation for zombies (a virus simply doesn’t explain everything). The three episode series is here: http://tinyurl.com/bdodq5h

Done.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE: There are political signs in my yard.  My neighbors in this VERY blue neighborhood might never speak to me again.  OTOH my very liberal neighbor who always has signs, took her Obama sign (up before the primaries) down when the Denver reporter asked Obama questions about Benghazi and he didn’t answer.  Is she alone?  Who knows.  But in this case at least, the drip, drip, drip seems to have dropped through.

MONSIEUR LE DEFICIT SPINS: Sandy Versus Katrina.  … I don’t find this stuff amusing anymore.

WE MIGHT AS WELL READ ENTRAILS, BUT I’LL TAKE IT: Panthers Hand Romney The Win.

SOME OF US COULD GET INTO THE REVENGE THING: Carney: Obama abused the public trust for political gain.  Duh!

THE LAST DANCE IN DC: Last Dance.  Mark Steyn (the magnificent Mark Steyn) documents the morose fiasco of National Dance Day For Obama.  And Eliana Johnson has video.  Guys, after the vagina thing, I can add nothing, except YOU MUST VOTE THE ADULTS IN.  Now go do it.

I’D CRAWL OVER BROKEN GLASS TO VOTE AGAINST THIS IDIOT: Video: Vagina 2012. Never mind the lies about Romney’s platform. It’s dwarfed by the image of this woman dressed as a vagina, reducing herself AND ALL OTHER WOMEN to the sum of their reproductive organs.  I can’t say it here, because it’s Glenn’s blog, and Glenn is a nice man, but if you’re a word that starts with t, then vote like a that word.  However, if you’re a human being, with a lot of other parts besides what’s between your legs, vote for Romney.  Maybe the poor woman in the ad will be shocked enough by the results to join a twelve step program and learn to stop demeaning herself.  I wanted to find this funny, but I’m actually PHYSICALLY ill at watching that.
