• MSNBC can’t hold back.
You call them in the tank, you may be right. But you know what? Obama looks like he could very well pull this out.
Wait. Wait.
HE DID IT.
YES WE DID.

• Two And Counting (AKA: What Are You Waiting For?)
McCain seemed almost conciliatory on SNL last night. Cindy still looked batshit evil. They even got a dig in on Palin 2012 with nary a batted eye from either McBush.
The Obama’s Aunti story passed through the central nervous system of the media, except there are still some marks of it in the anus of the media, Fixed Noise and Drudge, as I’ve said before, two websites that starting November 5th, I’ll be happy to not have to look at again for years.
The National Polling Average is at BHO +6.5 pts.
So what am I doing with my Sunday, well, as SundayTalk put it on Kos late last night, GOTf’nV. Getting out the fuckin’ vote. Phone banking’s for me today. I remember doing it in the twilight hours of the Kerry campaign at Bard, in a small room in one of the unused dorms. How things have changed. Today, I go to phone bank at the 40/40 club.

What are you waiting for?

• I guess it’ll be a November Surprise Now? (3 and counting)
So, the final friday before Election Day has passed. Nothing big really, unless you’re easily scared by Drudge and his Zogby breaking news, which Nate Silver broke down with The Quickness, as I bet his e-mail box was overflowing with panic, or his Obama’s Aunt is here illegally news, said report which was then smacked and queried by TPM. Tell that to Fox, though, who’s running with it big photo style.
Some blog in the wordpress dashboard claims they have an agreement with Fixed News about the dreaded Michelle Obama tape. Why wouldn’t they release it tonight, though? It’s 3 Days and counting now, 3 days!
Maher questioned how happy the wonks out there will be happy when this thing is over. I know I’ll be happy* because, well, then I don’t have to use Drudge or Fox again for another 3.5 years, for crying out loud. Then I don’t have to worry about the shit that water carriers from the GOP like Amy Holmes say on Real Time and if anyone believes their bullshit anymore.

• The Other Side Of Copy
Don Draper gets the fun advertisment work. Selling the truly epic product, convincing the public that the product is truly epic. He gets to tinker with the product, hold it in his hand, and be as vague as he wants to be.
I bring this up because these past few weeks, I ventured back into the tricky thicket known as copy writing. Copy writing for books I’ve only been told about, not even seen. For books we don’t even have layouts for yet. For books about subjects I’ve never known were topics worth ink, paper, and binding.
These are books proposed by people who do not have the time or want to write them. Those aforementioned days drove me truly insane, if I wasn’t already from this dadgum election.

• McCain/Palin/Co. Are Scared, Really Scared, And I Can Prove It:
They’re running Robocalls in Arizona. McCain’s home state. I hate to be happy before anything’s won, but this is too good.
