King for a lifetime, fool for a... lifetime...

The winner was "that one." Decidedly. Election race over? Hardly. I'll be cold and dead before I put all my faith in snap polls. Does no one else remember 2004? As fun as fivethirtyeight.com is, I'll exhale after Nov. 4th, thank you very much.

One thing does seem for certain though: At this stage, retarded Sarah Palin -- that bastion of American mediocrity -- no longer has any bearing on this race. Thank God.

Both the song and the film, but more so the film which I suffered through tonight for the very first (and last) time. A dead boring 90 minutes with a band that never pretends to be actors. I realize this movie was made in keeping with some of the campiness of the 60s, but fuck, it does not hold up. Nay, it irritates. Anyway, the only thing that could possibly be worse is if some has-been bunch of clowns with maybe a fraction of the charm and talent that The Beatles had -- a group, say, like KISS -- decide that they can pull off this "Hard Day's..." nonsense off. Oh wait, that's happening...

I will now peel off my skin with rusty razors and light myself on fire.
