Sure, you've voted, but have you started drinking yet?

Last edited Tue Nov 4, 2014, 06:48 PM - Edit history (2)

I've cracked my 5th tallboy PBR and will be nursing them throughout the day and into the results reporting tonight.

Cheers!

On edit: I didn't even try to think of a drinking game tonight. I'm just going to be pounding them back as the night progresses

No drinking until the polls close and then keep it light until results start coming in. If things go south I've got a bottle of Grey Goose in the freezer. If things go well I've got a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge. I'm a professional election day drinker.

the Dem to win here in Cantor's former district. The dim teabagger, who can't get a sentence out without making a mistake, will surely win. The turnout was huge, and they're all pubs....

I may be making some loud and rude comments about anything and everything, especially if Democrats lose across the board. I may have to be thrown out of the bar.

Also, I need to be to work by 7:00 am so my alarm is set for 5:45 am.

No alcohol for me tonight. Still, I hope you enjoy yours.



Stay safe.

On the legitimacy of a Mitch McConnell win...



I'm not buying it.


And that this Florida governor...




is in a dead heat with Charlie Christ -- remarkably insane.


The Koch brothers, I'm thinking, are making sure they get their money's worth this time around.


This nation is in trouble.
