Is there an easily navigated website where you can enter your zip code and you'll be fed back the date you're supposed to vote on every level? From city council stuff to the presidency?

Last time I added anything, it was 12 pages. Single-spaced, mind you. It's annoying, but I can replace the lost material. By the way, which Supreme Court decision was the one that put an end to multi-member and multiple at-large Congressional districts?

Have you tried Googling your zip code and the word "election?"

...got it. It wasn't a Supreme Court case at all. It was an act of Congress.
In 1967 Congress passed a law (PL 90-196) which prohibited at-large and other multi-member elections by states with more than one House seat. Only two states, Hawaii and New Mexico, were affected by this legislation: all other states by this time were using elections by districts.
This law was passed largely because of two factors. The first concern was that, in the wake of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, southern states might resort to winner-take-all at-large elections to dilute the voting strength of newly-enfranchised blacks in the South. The second concern was that the courts might order at-large elections in states which were having difficulties with redistricting. Such elections could have threatened the position of incumbents whose district seats were considered safe for re-election.

no I'm enjoying my night. I meant that in general, I wish I could watch it for the first time again, and I wish I could be watching it with someone else for the first time. not literally right now, though, because yeah this is fairly satisfying right now.

But then the Yankees win. I'm not saying I'm rooting FOR either team, but if there's one season that it would really kill me to see the Yankees win, it's the season in which they charge so much for seats behind home plate that even the people that can afford them dare not be caught sitting in them even during the playoffs. I cannot in good conscience root for a team that would kick its fans in the sack that hard.

Friend who's sewing the Silk Spectre costume: *picks up some fabric pins* "I need you to pin me."
Friend's husband: "To the wall?"
Me: "To a pool table."

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Also man the lady is on these antibiotics for what I guess was a spider spite that they considered might be MRSA and blah blah and long story short is a.) she asked her doctor about close contact with people since she raises two kids and fucks me, and he said it's cool, don't worry about transmission and b.) she's exhausted all the time.
Work has discouraged all of us from dressing up tomorrow. Plus I have to be there all day. Plus they have released coupons that are essentially buy one get one frees and of course hicks don't take that into account when they tip you based off their final price. Plus they all get waters and it drags your check average down and if they fuss at me for that I will slay them.
Point is, I'm going to tape a sign to my back that says 'I'm a wizard pretending to be a muggle' and that will be the end of it. I will have my vengeance.

They're ashamed of being wealthy?
Scared of being robbed outside?
Scared of the riffraff in the seats outside the I'm Better Than You Section who will spend half the game angrily hurling invective at anyone inside the I'm Better Than You Section. Class warfare.

one of my favourite movies of all time. the conversation, the aesthetic, the atmosphere, the tension, all fantastic.

Halloween is awesome; you're just old, angry, and bitter.

Never forget Pearl Harbor etc.

It's kind of amazing, in a "I know you're brilliant but what the fuck are you thinking" sort of way.

it's funny, solely because of It's Always Sunny I can't bring myself to get into this rivalry as fully as I would be were it Boston/NE.
