Sorry if this is a repeat, but I didn't notice a recent diary about it....

One-line diaries are prohibited on Daily Kos. Give your diary a bit more thought, then give it another shot. If you have nothing to add to your proposed diary, then it probably belongs as a comment under another appropriate thread.

The minumum is 300 characters.

U.S. forces stormed into western districts of Fallujah early Monday, seizing the main city hospital and securing two key bridges over the Euphrates river in what appeared to be the first stage of the long-expected assault on the insurgent stronghold.

May you live in interesting times.

This election has fundamentally scared me. I honestly fear for our nation. And that has made me rethink the way that I vote.

There will be one overall issue on which I will base my vote in the future: Democracy.

There are several specific aspects of this, each of which I will get into detail about in a moment:

Media Matters is going to keep track of which news outlet called which state when.  They have a nice little table of the states vs. the news organizations, and will be keeping totals of projected electoral votes.  Seems like it will be a nice, concise way to follow along with the evening's events.

You can find it here.

The gist of it is that exit polls are unreliable.  I have little opinion on that - don't know much about it, honestly - but it's funny how the Freepers are reacting to this claim:

"PLEASE, PLEASE pull any threads with any exit poll crap."

"Rush is right about exit polling and I don't want it posted either."

"RUSH just stated it on his show too. Exit polls are not accurate. People lie and the demographics are haywire. Just keep praying and leave it up to the Lord."

That's right, Freepers.  Jesus gonna come save us from the evil liberal exit polls.

Put yourself in his shoes:

You're a very intelligent man.

You know better than anyone how much of a complete doofus your son is.

And you know that your son's policies have been disastrous - if not for the nation (from your point of view), at least for traditional conservatism (as opposed to neocon insanity), which you hold dear.  Not to mention to your family's good name.

You don't have to pull that George W. Bush lever.  No one will ever know you didn't.  What do you do?

Just a little reminder: Let's keep Eminem's "Mosh" on MTV's playlist every day, from now till Election Day.

Vote for it here for TRL, and here for DFX.

Some of the lyrics don't seem all that on target, but some are; more importantly, though, the imagery of the video itself is simply stunning.

This video undoubtedly will cause some kids to vote - and not for Bush - if they just see it. So let's all remember to vote for it on these MTV sites, every day, until Election Day.

The second debate, he was aggressive and energetic.  Cocaine?

The third debate, he was calm and mildly euphoric.  Marijuana?
