I know that normal people are sick of hearing about the mid-term elections, sick of the advertisements, sick of the commentary. I'm already a little sad that it will all be ending soon.

Unless, of course, it takes days or weeks to count all the ballots and dispute the counts which is entirely possible. Both parties have encouraged voters to vote early or vote absentee and most locations have rules saying that those ballots can't be counted until either election day or after the polls have closed on election day. So it could be a while.

My current, favorite story is about the woman who is running for asshole Tom DeLay's former seat, representing the folks of Sugarland, Texas. In order to vote for this candidate, voters will need to "write in" her name. However, the voting machines are electronic so there is no writing at all but rather rotating a dial and selecting the letters one at a time, like using an old-fashioned label maker.

Her last name? Sekula-Gibbs.
