We’d like implore you to take a few minutes out of your busy day and listen to this caller to a local North Dakota radio show. Listen closely as this grown woman expresses her disgust that government employees would install deer crossings on major thoroughfares instead of somewhere safe.

Go ahead. We’ll wait.

Now, multiply this by some 220 million voting-age Americans. Who, by the way, are going to decide your fate in seventeen days. It’s a miracle that Our Exceptional Nation can even wipe its collective ass.

Fuck. Conscience is a bitch.

Vile Rat was a major player in the EVE Online space-fantasy videogame. A six-year veteran, he had been elected to the game’s virtual government by its 400,000 players. He belonged to “Goon Swarm”, one of the game’s player guilds.

His family and colleagues knew him as Sean Smith. Sean Smith was an information management officer at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya. He was murdered Tuesday night.

The Man Romney Used [Sully]

There was a moment last election when you just knew it, knew it in your gut, that the Straight Talk Express was headed down a ravine: The moment John McCain “suspended” his campaign to “deal with” the bank crisis — something he was powerless to do anything about.

In that moment, McCain had proven, in the sight of all, that he had no business running the country. The desperation was palpable.
