Glad we don't have to "go to prison" this weekend, as Rachel usually informs us each Friday night at the end of her show. I was planning to take a break from this stuff this weekend so I'll have to pick and choose (and mostly eliminate) shows just to avoid information and HYPE overload. Tuesday night is going to be bad enough....no need to max out ahead of time.

Truthfully, I think the cake is baked and now we just have to wait for the results to come in. I know many of our fellow DUers and others will be working on GOTV and many here will be voting on Tuesday, so this is not to suggest we just sit on our rumps and wait it out. If you have work to do or a vote to cast, by all means DO THAT! Just sayin'...we need to reserve our strength for Tuesday night and possibly on into Wednesday. Fretting and worrying ourselves sick won't be a good strategy for that.

I'm feeling good about it all and am planning a VICTORY celebration Tuesday night.

programming on the weekends. Hope the experiment goes well, cause it'd be great to have it on all weekend. At our house, we oddly look FORWARD to mondays so we can resume our MSNBC fix! There's just a dearth of anything remotely interesting on the tube on the weekend.
