Put on your news channel of choice. One drink indicates a healthy slug of beer/bong hit/whatever you’re sipping, one shot indicates a standard shot-glass dose, and ’finish the bottle’ means exactly what it says on the tin.

A&A Board
Grimes whines=Drink
Someone bitches that "voting doesn’t matter"=Drink
Someone bitches that "both parties are exactly alike"=Shot
It turns out that FGL is Barack Obamas pick for cabinet=Finish the bottle.

TV News Talking head says:
"Tentatively calling the state of X for Y"=Drink
"Exit polls may have been misleading..."=Drink
Repeats the networks obnoxious catchphrase (i.e, CNN=Politics, "Fair and Balanced")=Drink
Over-the-top animation repeated ad-nauseum=Drink.
Fancy new technology to display election results fails to display election results=Drink
Live Interview with a hick in battleground state=Shot.

Results:
Barack Obama wins your state=Shot.
John McCain wins your state=Drink

John McCain concedes a state=Drink
John McCain concedes the election=Shot
...while crying=Finish the bottle.

Obama loses=Finish the bottle. Riot.

Prop 8 fails=Strawberry Daquiri
Prop 8 succeeds=O’Douls.

That’s all I could come up with in the ~10 minutes I have before class. Fucking expand this shit so I have an excuse to get shitfaced this evening.

What channel/s are you watching? CNN? I want to find out if anyone on CH has Fox News on so I can see a different angle without having to hang out with a bunch of jackasses at (insert republican bar here).
