Goldy, maybe you should look into how to fix our tax structure to get democracy back on track.

I know Puerto Rico isn't quite in your purview, but what an interesting change if PR becomes the 51st state! That might shake many people's minds up a bit.

If it makes you feel any better. Billionaires trying to fuck over democracy WASTED hella cash and had a terrible night in CA! All that money that billionaire ho spent on Prop 38 to try and crash Prop 30...WASTED! All that insurance money that went into Prop 33 to screw over poor drivers...WASTED! The money big business putting into trying to make our government unworkable (31) and silent unions (32)...WASTED!

Plus we eliminated tax loop holes for out of state corporations and reformed the idiotic 3 strikes law so maybe soon some needlessly incarcerated people will be back with their families.

Rock on West Coast! We totally kicked ass!

Thanks for the priceless moments of you being proven wrong on everything you posted on Slog.

Thanks for playing. Buh-bye now.

You know he'll be back in another form.

But I'll give Paid Dude - er, Gay Dude his credit. He dutifully showed up on time this morning for his deep plate of crow. None of the others have shown their mealy faces around. We all know who they are. They've gone back in the cave and they're not coming out. For all those punks, who are certainly reading this, I got your raw, rotten Real America crow right here, courtesy of the Seattle liberals and our fellow liberals near and far. Um.... delicious! Try it! Wash it down with your tears. Good for the soul!

And so, so long Gay Dude. You weren't an annoying twerp like the others, and you became one of us, one of Slog's characters. You were always courteous, which can't be said for the others, and you delivered your sophistry in reasonable tones.

That said, you would have been insufferable had Romney won. Fare thee well and please don't come back... Unless you want to marry your boyfriend.

The Republican platform: "Life Begins at Rape" falters and . . . . .

Female voters in Indiana and Missouri discover their brain and vote properly --- for a change!

Massachusetts' voters rediscover their brain and vote for Prof. Elizabeth Warren over that random slitch, Scott-what's-his-face!

Wisconsin voters finally use their brain and voted the intelligent, desirable dyke over that whackjob, Tommy "all Americans should be microchipped" Thompson!

Hallelujah ! !

Magic Underwear Guy Loses

Willard Mitt Romney's career as a tax dodging, draft dodging, queen of debt creation evidently didn't impress enough members of the electorate. Apparently Romney's prime example of business acumen: putting a poor dog in a cage atop a speeding car and watching him crap over the car's windows didn't impress enough voters either.

The Challenge

An offer of a $1 million prize to Linda McMahon to wrestle Donald Trump in a "Stomp the Trump's Rump" exhibition match. (Maybe NYC Mayor "Elizabeth Warren is a socialist" Bloomberg will put up the prize money?)

The lesson of the very close popular vote?

Un-privatize the national voting process --- centralize it --- and hire the McDonald's Corporation to expedite it --- if they can do fast food, then fast and efficient voting should be a real cinch for them!

Nineteen woman senators? It's a good start . . . . .

Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it. Now go back to smelling your potpourri, because today is GloatDay for all of us that won't forget what a LIAR GDfR was/is. Tomorrow is soon enough for civility.

But even if not, boy did Gates have to sweat it out. No easy win for billionaires. And Superintendent Randy Dorn says he will challenge it in court (as well he should).
