 Chronicling an event of epic, galaxy-spanning win: Battlestar Galactica Takes Over United Nations
There's a bunch of camera phone-quality video here (I haven't watched it yet), but the money shot is right here: Priscilla said at 6:28 PM

Okay, so I've failed to live up to the requirements of NaBloPoMo after only three days. But I think tonight merits an exception. I am drunk on a hybrid of JOY and HOPE and apple martini. I only had one of the latter, but even after, four glasses of water and over an hour of digestion, I can barely type straight. Or walk straight. Thank goodness the bar I chose was only three short blocks away! (Had intellectual policy discussion with random guy named Sebasitian. Don't know where I got the impression people that go to bars aren't the type of person I'd be interested in. I wasn't interested in this guy, buty his polictical savvy was nice. Yeah, that description made no sense. Se above, re: drunk on a single appletime. Am a total lightweiht, but OBAMA WOO!)
My god, people. We elected a BLACK MAN named BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. We finally proved that anyone can be President, even a kid born to a single-parent household, raised by his grandparents. We showed that a campaign of hope can triumph over a campsign tailored to fearmongering and divisiveness. \MICHELLE OBAMA is going to be out First Lady! She is opinionated and fiercely determined, and she will do great things of the office. Sasha and Malia are adorable and genuine, and I look toward to seeing what dog they choose. Biden is honest and has strong roots in the communities he grew up, the complete anyithesis of Chenes. And the SUPEREME COURT! My god, we don't have to worry about more Rebupican appointees stacking the court. And I see how many spelling mistakes I'm making, but I'm too joyous and drunk off only ONE apple martini to care. Good grief, that was strong. I feel like I've had two or more. Hope I don't have an hangover tomorrow--boss is a Republican, and he frowns on political discussions in the office. (So naturally, we discuss plitics when he's not present.) I feel like sitting here is making me ever nore drunk, even though my lisp have not toughted alcohol since McCain finished his speech, through that's probably me getting tired. I was up at 5:45 this morning, after all. And I know I'm making spelling mistakes, but I'm too amused to correct them. I'm going to go to sleep and dream of four--nay eight--years of an Obama administration. I'm so happy with the direction the country has chosen.

Dear Priscilla,
FiveThirtyEight.com and ElectoralVote.com only update once per day. You can check them every couple hours, but the data will not change. Also, according to fivethirtyeight.com, McCain has a 1.9% chance of winning. Just watch SNL's election special and be cool. Love, Yourself Labels: politics Priscilla said at 9:02 PM

Kat and I have invented a new game: Flan In the Cupboard! See how many ways you can describe the slow collapse of the McCain campaign in a pithy metaphor.
Me: like a punctured tire Kat: An air mattress with a hole you just can't find. Me: a week-old mylar balloon Kat: A Coke left out all night.

Me: A randy young guy who just discovered the hot chick he picked up at a bar has a suspicious bulge. Kat: A bitten-into dumpling. I think you can tell what I thought of the third Presidential debate. :D Man, watching political anything is infinitely better when I'm with Ko. Yes, my beloved college roommate crashed at my apartment last night! She flew out of JFK at crazy o'clock this morning, so it was my job to deny her beauty sleep through obnoxious giggling and general tomfoolery. We heckled the debate with an enthusiasm that would shame Rocky Horror audiences, exchanged much-needed back rubs, and squealed over photos of Ko's new gerbil and the surprise babies that came a week later. SO CUTE! She'll be in and out of NY the next few weeks, and I look forward to more of the unquenchable silliness that accompanies our reunions!

I finally contributed macros to ontd_political's Shenanigans Friday! I love Shenanigans Friday so much.
And woah. Just spotted McCain's Patronizing "Congratulatory" Message to Obama "How perfect that your nomination would come on this historic day"? Here, McCain, I fixed it for you: "How perfect that your nomination would come on this historic day concerning a man who I once voted against honoring with a national holiday." Also, the "achievement of our opponent" was "noticed" by 38.4 million people, nearly a fourth of US households--more than the opening ceremonies of the Olympics and the American Idol finals. It is believed to have set a TV record. I'd like to see you fill a stadium with eighty thousand-plus passionate supporters, or make the Democratic equivalent of Pat Buchanan gush so profusely over the content of a speech you wrote that he had to be forcibly interrupted for time constraints. "Unnoticed." Ha. Oh, and next time you want to look sincere, hire a better acting coach. And a lighter that won't make you look like you're filming in a cave.

Dear Soon-To-Be-Not-President Bush,
Birth control medication isn't only used for birth control, you utter and complete jackass. For many women, it is used to regulate hormones and prevent us from suffering cripplingly painful cramps. I went on birth control years before I even kissed a boy, and now you want pharmacists to be able to exercise some kind of blind, wildly innacurate moral judgment against me, to automatically brand me as some kind of nymphomaniacal painted jezebel and refuse me the medication it is THEIR JOB TO DISPENSE? Hell no! Guess what: birth control isn't always contraception, and CONTRACEPTION IS NOT ABORTION. In fact, you right-wing asshats should love contraception, as it decreases the number of abortions performed. Contraception is specifically designed to prevent unintended pregnancy. This is not an abortion debate. This is not a morality debate. This is common freaking sense. How long until you're out of office? Priscilla Read more about the issue here, then sign the Planned Parenthood petition and call your Congressman. Get angry, people. This feckless behavior needs to be smacked down yesterday.

All the human characters were well-meaning and recognized the vital importance of reclaiming the planet and restoring its vitality. A for effort, F for reading comprehension. And while I'm at it, another F for seeking to eliminate joy. This movie is incredible. I hope all you guys get to see it on the big screen. Senators Craig and Vitter team up to co-sponsor Marriage Protection Amendment, which would amend the Constitution to declare that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Un-freaking-believable. You know how you can defend the sanctity of marriage, Senators Craig and Vitter?

Today, Obama gave an absolutely extraordinary speech on the subject of race in America, and you need to hear it. Or read it. Or have it downloaded to your brain like in The Matrix. And you need to do it now.
And what's more? "This wasn't a speech by committee. Obama wrote the speech himself, working on it for two days and nights.... and showed it to only a few of his top advisers." Without the merest whiff of my usual Obamania... This man needs to be our next President. Labels: obama is awesomesauce, politics Priscilla said at 2:28 PM

Si se puede -- a really beautiful video for Obama in Spanish Viva Obama -- a really hilarious Mariachi song for Obama in Spanish And an excellent blog article: The Obama Doctrine SNL Weekend Update: Huckabee's Graceful Exit SNL: Tina Fey On The Most Important Women's News Issue. Awesome, but it would be more appreciated I didn't of want to slap Hillary in the face right now. What are you DOING, Hillary? What happened to the woman we saw giving that wonderful final statement at the Texas debates? Remember how well that went over, and how all the pundits were asking why she didn't show that side of her personality more often? Sure, it was almost word-for-word taken from Edwards' concession speech, but I was willing to forgive. Who is this bitter, mocking creature you're turning into? I understand you may be frustrated, but your snarky tirades are not presidential. Sheesh. And finally, another Fry and Laurie video for people that don't care about American politics (though it would actually make a delightful satire of the second Bush doctrine had it not been written in 1992): The Ass-Kickers Song.

Chad linked me to this excellent Daily Kos article comparing the Senate records of Hillary and Obama. Long, but well worth the read! I Refuse to Buy into the Obama Hype (now a supporter). The author summarizes her article thusly:
I looked up Obama and looked up Clinton [on the Library of Congress Website]. I looked at the bills that they both authored and introduced. Anyone who has been around politics, and is honest, realizes that there are a lot of reasons why a Senator votes one way or another on bills or misses votes. However an examination of the bills that each of these Senators cared enough about to author and introduce revealed much to me: what they care about, what their priorities are, how they tackle problems. And the list of co-sponsors showed something about how they lead, inspire and work with others. Finally, looking at which bills actually passed is pretty indicative of how effective each would be at getting things done.Or if you have no interest in American politics, you can check out this highly amusing Frye and Laurie sketch. Those that did read the above article are invited to view it as well. Labels: obama is awesomesauce, politics, you tube Priscilla said at 11:12 AM

Now that's what I call inspirational.
Senior McCain Adviser Refuses To Campaign Against Obama. Said McKinnon (the senior McCain advisor in question), "I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama. I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign." When is the last time a candidate has inspired that kind of emotion from members of an opposing political party, to say nothing of members of the senior staff of the opposing party's de-facto nominee? This is one more reason why I support Barack Obama. Labels: obama is awesomesauce, politics Priscilla said at 11:07 PM

It's official: WGA strike is over! 92.5% of guild vote in favor of strike's end. *does a groovy dance* I offer my heartfelt congratulations to the brave writers who stood their ground for fair treatment and fiscal compensation for themselves and for future generations of writers, despite knowing they would suffer financial losses in the process that will likely never be recouped. I thank the members of the SGA, show crews, and more, who stood in solidarity with the writers even though they themselves would see none of the benefits of the strike, risking their livelihoods in the process.
Check out this Variety article for the status of your favourite Network shows, but here are mine: Pushing Daisies: Renewal called a "no-brainer," as it's one of ABC's top-rated scripted performers. Received a 13-episode pickup, as is standard practice among frosh skeins. Will wait until September before making a grand re-entrance, so ABC can give it a proper relaunch. House: Fox plans to extend the regular TV season in order to take advantage of late-delivered episodes from shows including "House." Heroes: With its elaborate serialized storyline, it is expected to take the summer to regroup. It will return in the fall. Does anyone know of a good article that addresses cable and other pay channels? I'd like to know what to expect regarding Psych (season finale this Friday, WOE!), Burn Notice, and Dexter. I'm currently watching what I imagine is the last episode of A Daily Show, assuming this means Jon's writers and the absent The will come back tomorrow. Yay for showing viewers how utterly crazypants Huckabee is. How the heck is he still in the race? Of course, I can't stomach McCain either. MY REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS: YOU CANNOT HAVE THEM. Hands off my Roe v. Wade, you 71-year-old man! Shouldn't you be old enough to remember the outrageous death rate due to septic complications of pregnancy as a result of illegal, unsafe abortion? A problem that has been virtually eliminated today? Even if abortion is illegalized, abortions will still happen. Except the end result will be a dramatically increased number of women who suffer severe ramifications to their health, sometimes leading to infertility or death? Just read this doctor's truly heroic story. And when did this entry stop being about the writers' strike and start being about me soapboxing for reproductive choice? Uh... Hey!

Project Runway. So... do the judges even remember their prom? You don't want you look cute and young and 17, you want to look mature and elegant. Sweet Pea should have won! The only dresses I would have worn to prom were hers or Chris'. Victorya's = Fug. Well, it's cute, but it's also cheap-looking and unflattering. While it may be a decent choice for a mixer or party, it is NOT appropriate for a prom!
Also, I feel so terribly wicked for thinking this, but even though I loathe Christian and want to slap him in the face whenever I see him, I kind of want him to stay on the show for the time being (though leave well before Bryant Park). Yes, his clothes are often rather interesting--albeit TRAGICALLY 80s--but he makes such a lovely TARGET for the natural drama of competition, and we need someone to mock now that Elisa is gone. P.S.
