My current favorite show is AEtv’s Hoarders, and fans of that series always cheer when the 1-800-Got-Junk? trucks show up, because that means the horror show is about to start (but also some hard physical and pychological work will be done). I spotted one of their trucks over by Arlington Park; wonder if the village hired them. NO mention in the article of the show, but I heard on the fan grapevine that the show will feature someone from the Chicago area next week.

That said, let’s move on to the events leading up to yesterday’s rather unpleasant activities, which involved: A loud sucking noise, with disturbing interruptions that went “THHHUPPP!

Knowing that TPM gets paid for clicks, I took their survey, answering NO to every heavily biased question. The response was the long screed about the sanctity of life, with no acknowledgment of my answers. Obviously, not a survey, but a preachable moment and more importantly, a fundraising gimmick.

So where it really counted – the Senate races featuring female religious fanatics like Angle and O’Donnell, Palin’s endorsement wasn’t enough. And in O’Donnell’s case, not even a Bumpit and a bunch of rabid teabaggers shouting slogans outside polling places were enough, thanks be to God. Via Palin A Loser | Talking Points Memo.

I’ve bolded the most delicious, schadenfreudlich tidbits to savor after the polls close, as it’s likely to be one of the few pieces of good news to come out of today’s Election Day coverage. We have spent the past several days trying to make clear to you your limited role as a participant in our digital town hall to be streamed on ABCNews.com and Facebook. The post on your blog last…
