Official election predictions - Page 9

scaeagles · 11-03-2008, 12:15 PM

Rather than starting another thread ( no matter how much pleasure that would bring me to cause ISM great grief), my friends, I wanted to remind you of what I said a month or so ago in some thread or another, which is that I would be taking a short leave of absence from the LoT beginning immediately after the election.

Should Obama win, which is quite likely, honestly, I don't want to read about the joy here, nor do I wish to rain on the parade. Enjoy yourselves.

Should McCain win, honestly, I won't have a whole lot of joy and I won't want to read about how everyone is depressed and/or very angry, or how the vote was suppressed, or whatever is going on here.

Please don't think my absence is anything other than a brief separation. I'll be back, and this is certainly no YAGE. Even though most here are so screwed up mentally when it comes to politics, you've all grown on me.

Pot calling the kettle black here, Sceagles! I feel exactly the same about you and your cr-A-zy polital leanings. You're still a nice guy, no matter how whacked out your politics may be.

ETA: I made my prediction on February 5th that it would be McCain vs. Obama with an Obama victory.

Wow. It was very interesting reading that thread in hindsight.

Y'all know that after the election is wrapped up we'll be force-fed Christmas don't you?

I saw some this past weekend at Wal-Mart. Yes, I was in Wal-Mart I am ashamed to admit. But it was not my choice and Susan was on a mission and I was not about to get in her way.

I'm a non-Christmasist. I long ago learned to mentally mask out all Christmas stuff regardless of what time of year it pops up.

Oh dear God, Johnny Mathis singing The Most Wonderful Time of the Year was being piped over the muzak/PA walkinh through Embarcadero this morning. I nearly barfed.

Yeah, and I'm thinking with the economy struggling as it is, the commercials may be even more frequent than last year.

Although the idea of spending Christmas at home for the first time in a long time is kind of exciting.

I don't know how this morphed into the Christmas thread, but I saw the decorations going up at the mall ON Halloween.

I understand the rush this year. Most retail businesses are going to go out of business ... and this Christmas is the only chance to save them.

Um, except that finally 73% of the Nation will be joining me in not spending more than a hundred dollars on Christmas presents.

No Christmas until Black Friday!

Where's that quote of mine...
