More Election Than You Can Possibly Handle

posted by on September 26 at 12:00 PM

Sometimes you’ve gone to every single election page you can think of and there’s no updates at all, and nothing new to look at. Well, fuck that shit: Twitter now has an election page.

It’s totally useless, but it updates like 900 times a minute.

Because you want us to go insane even more quickly than we already are?

My friends are considering staging an intervention and prying me from the Internet for one day "for my own good".

HAH, you'll pry this keyboard from my cold dead hands, now excuse me while I obsessively refresh all my news web pages...

there's been a lot of twitter talk lately. do any stranger writers twitter? any local notables besides ron sims? i really like pownce.com a LOT more but it doesn't have as many users.

Jindal/Palin 2012? So we can have a pentecostal AND an exorcist? That's so crazy it just might work. And then in 2016 we can have Shiva and the Fox Demon running on the Green party ticket. Genius!

At least Arsenal is doing well this week, so I can direct the part of my brain that needs to be constantly updated on things to something completely irrelevant part of the time.

Otherwise I'd be with you, PopTart, hiding from friends who just want to help...the bastards.

I made the Palin/Jindal joke last night...but I was joking. And I said 2016. This must be some sort of derivation of the formula Humor = Tragedy+Time; anything else is too horrific to imagine.

No.

Absolutely not.

It's all I can do now to keep my head from exploding. I have no doubt this twitter page would send me right over the cliff.
