  •  Where ya votin, Rigso?

•  Last-minute dig at opponent!

  Don't you know [he/she] is a [triangulator/empty suit/arrogant whatsit/corporatist]?  Don't you know that all [his/her] supporters are [cynics/cultists/communists/corporatists/Episcopalians]?  You should vote for [Obama/Clinton], not that loser [Clinton/Obama].   I should TR every comment you've ever made for even thinking about supporting [him/her].

  •  Angry defense of candidate!

    How dare you impugn my candidate! You are distorting his or her record.

    Besides, look at these polls that show how kick-ass my candidate is. You will be so pwned tomorrow morning.

    by CaptUnderpants on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:11:17 AM PDT

    •  Lowering expectations!

      You're right in that [Obama/Clinton] will be lucky to hold even today.  [Cherry-picked poll] shows [him/her] with a 99-point lead in [state], but that poll is unreliable!  [Other cherry-picked poll] actually shows [him/her] down by 99 points!

      by mistersite on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:12:53 AM PDT

      •  Kumbaya attempt to get mojo!!!

        Let's just remember that even if [Obama/Clinton] wins today, we must be kind to the folks on the other side.  We'll need 'em in November!

        by Kevvboy on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:24:34 AM PDT

  •  I did not, in fact, know that...

    and I will be changing my vote accordingly.  Thank god you posted this, or I may have made a horrible mistake.

•  Mmm

  Cream cheese bagel.

  I must be really hungry, because I'm not really a bagel guy.

•  YOUR CANDIDATE IS A FOUL FIEND FROM HELL ITSELF!

  And I also have some problems with your candidate's approach to the issue of health plans and mandates, by the way.

  by Finck II on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:11:50 AM PDT

  •  Really

    Cream cheese? Fatty.

    That's not the way to do health care.

    by droogie6655321 on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:23:34 AM PDT

•  That could have

  been a whole lot worse. Kudos.

  by stevej on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:13:02 AM PDT

•  I feel sorry

  for all you suckers who are out voting today.  You won't solve much of anything; the race will go on.

  In an odd twist of fate the front loaded primary season coupled with proportional representation has made my state, Texas, more important than it ever has been.  For the first time my primary vote will truly matter!

  Early voting in Texas starts on the 19th, and I intend to be one of the first in Texas to vote.

  •  What's the old saw about the economists

    that see each other at the polls?  I think it's something like: an economist sees another economist voting, and the voter blushes and says, "don't tell my wife!"  

    Cuz voting is irrational, so it's funny, see?  Ok, it's not very funny.

    by burrow owl on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:31:00 AM PDT

    •  No, not that funny

      unless you are an economist.  It's kind of like CPA jokes:  not funny unless you are a CPA.

      And I don't really feel sorry for people who are voting today; actually I'm jealous.

      But I'm happy that Texas might be relevant.

      by nisleib on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:34:44 AM PDT

    •  heh

      I'm a political scientist, which means someone who pilfers economic methodology (and more than a few theories) to study politics.  So I found that quite funny.

  •  Woo hoo!

    Go Texas!  It'll be fun when they set up shop here after the Chesapeake-area primaries.  I'm looking forward to attending some rallies.

    by cardinal on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:35:46 AM PDT

    •  No doubt

      I think Obama loves Austin and I know Austin loves Obama.  I can't wait.

      by nisleib on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:48:18 AM PDT

•  Got any more bagels???

  by bobdevo on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:13:33 AM PDT

•  i see, plain cream cheese

  so you're candidate isnt offering anything else? and what about the cholesteral?

  why doesnt your candidate care about our health?

  by AmericanHope on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:14:06 AM PDT

  •  Because THEIR candidate

    hates freedom, and wants the terrorists to win.

•  Barry

  It's by far and away your best yet.

  •  Danke.

    by Barry in MIA on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:15:58 AM PDT

•  OH, FU and the camel you rode in on, OK?

  NO, NO, a thousand times NO.  Momma didn't raise no fools.  As if.  I'm telling you, you just don't get it.  Where's the beef?  How did you come to this conclusion and still have a mailbox?  Who told you that you had a clue, Mr?  WTF?

  ;-)

  •  Isn't humping a camel redundant?

    by Finck II on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:18:54 AM PDT

•  That would be a SCHMEEER...

  ...not a smear. And can I get some chives with that?

  by JeffLieber on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:17:00 AM PDT

  •  Does that make me a smuck? eom

    by Barry in MIA on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:18:19 AM PDT

    •  No

      A schlemiel.

      or I'll clean your clock.

•  I swear I hunted and hunted for either

  a "donut pie" or "schmear pie" recipe, but I got nuttin.

  Never-the-less, you can't get by without a pie for your poll:

  Green Pumpkin Pie (no, it's not snark! ;-)

  double crust for a 9" pie
  1 green (unripe) pumpkin ~4 pounds
  1 C. brown sugar
  ½ tsp. Nutmeg
  ¼ tsp cloves
  1 tsp cinnamon
  1/3 C. apple cider vinegar
  1 TB. Butter (cut into ¼ inch cubes)
  Scrape skin and seeds from pumpkin and cut into ¼" slices (like apple slices). Line pan with bottom crust. Cover bottom of crust with brown sugar and spices. Pile in the pumpkin slices. Pour the vinegar over and dot with butter. Cover with top crust and vent. Bake @ 425° F for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° and bake for 35 – 40 min longer.

  •  Now that's interesting! Thanks!

    by Jacques on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:40:58 AM PDT

    •  I thought so too. But I think the only way

      to find an actual green pumpkin is to sneak into a farmer's pumpkin patch at night and steal one!

      by aggieric on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:55:09 AM PDT

      •  I live on the other side of the hill from Half

        Moon Bay, CA. I think I can grow a pumpkin...

    I wish we had many more Jewish people where I live.

  •  I think you are just

    throwing these bagels around!  This is blatant bagel abuse!

    by Kevvboy on Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 09:32:05 AM PDT

•  ALL YOUR BAGELS ARE BELONG TO US

  ALL your base
