Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor came to Sesame Street to tell little girls that playing princess is fun, but it's not a job. 

At last night's Obama re-election party, a reporter misidentifies Will-I-Am as Wyclef Jean, then as Wale, before he's corrected. I like that the reporter does my patented "look who it is!" because he clearly does not know who he is and hopes viewers will say "it's Will-I-Am!' at home back to their tvs.

7:27  CST – I love rootbeer.

7:28 – I'm watching the returns on CNN because they are home of hologram analysts and I'm hoping Jem shows up.

7:32 – I have heard the phrase "white knuckles" twice. I predict this to be the phrase of the night.

7:35 – John King needs to move over and let my pretend boyfriend Anderson Cooper tell it.

7:37 – OMG a CNN reporter just added something by hand with no use of a calculator. No child left behind, y'all.

7:41 – who is going to see this Lincoln movie? Didn't Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Killer cover everything?

7:43 – Mittens is leading the President by 10 Electoral votes. 

7:45 – Did you see that New Jersey has allowed voting via emailing someone's Hotmail account? Someone's going to sue over that. You know they will.

7:47 – Wolf: "why do they always have problems counting votes in Palm Beach Co, Florida? You'd think in this day and age…" 

7:51 – they're talking about the long lines to vote and that Virginia may not close polls until midnight because of how many people are still waiting in lines. I will take this time to remind my readers that I waited for over four hours while eight months pregnant OUTSIDE in Georgia to vote in 2000, then we didn't know who won for a month. I predict we will have recounts and such after tonight as well, but without Dan Rather.

8:00 – Mittens has a projected 152 Electoral votes, Obama has 123. 270 to win. 

8:05 – let's all remember that "projected votes" are just that.

8:17 – you would think all of the United States was in Florida.

8:19 – where do I get one of these giant touchscreens?

8:30 – out of the mouths of Wolves: "is this a repeat of 2000?!"

8:34 – I'm pretty sure they just said "Rap-a-ho" county. 

8:39 – I voted for Robert Downey Jr and Thor.

8:44 – were all of the people working in your polling place 80 years old too? one of the women was yelling the spellings of names to a man with a hearing aid. it was like going to Picadilly at 4:30 in the afternoon.

8:57 – a reporter in Iowa named Poppy. I love that name. and Piper. and Pepper. does that make me weird.

9:00 – bored. they shouldn't have coverage of the returns until at least 10.

9:16 – yea! James Carville. finally.

9:18 – "if you look at Florida, the President is winning with non-Cuban Hispanics," some CNN chick. why report that?

9:31 – Mittens is ahead in the popular vote. we shall see.

9:39 – until there is more info, I'm leaving you with this (beacuse hell if it isn't all I'm seeing anyway):

Not that I'm advocating drinking, but if you were to drink tonight, feel free to use this handy dandy game to get your drank on. I have a cold, so I'll probably be having rootbeer.

Take a drink if:

1. CNN uses a hologram of someone for no reason.

Jem and the Will.I.Am hologram in CNN's 2008 election night coverage

2. CNN uses a hologram of Abraham Lincoln.

3. Any analyst says "Ohio" or "Florida."

4. Dan Rather is brought out to say things like, "This will show you how tight it is — it's spandex tight." Yes, he actually said that once.

5. Obama thanks Jay-Z in his acceptance/consession speech.

6. Wolf Blitzer loses his shit and shaves his beard.

7. One of your Facebook friends posts "when will this be over?"

8. One of your Facebook friends says they will move to Canada if their candidate is not elected.

9. A Third Party Candidate is mentioned.

10. Tom Brokaw mentions The Greatest Generation.

11. Any analyst says "Romnesia."

12. A photo of Mitt's dog is shown.

13. A photo of Paul Ryan working out is shown.

14. Any analyst says "it's too close to call."

15. The video of Oprah or Jesse Jackson crying in 2008 is shown.

16. An analyst uses a giant touchscreen to show Electoral College votes.

17. Scary Lizardface James Carville laughs manically at something.

18. Mitt has a hair fall out of place.

19. Someone calls the President "Barack Hussein Obama." Drink eleventy-seven drinks if someone says "Barack Hussein Osama" accidentally.

20. Brian Williams slowjams the results.

Bonus Round:

Finish your drink if you start thinking one of the analysts is sexy. You're probably already drunk. 

Extra Bonus Points:

Give yourself all the points if Obama sings "Single Ladies" or says "if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it" in a concession speech. 

Note: this is not an anti-Obama post. I just don't have a GIF of Mitt's head doing the "Single Ladies" dance. Remember, The Kerry Blog is non-partisan. I make fun of everyone.

Am I the only person who didn't know "Tainted Love" was originally a Motown-style B-side of a flop record from 1964 by Gloria Jones? It's kind of amazine. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings need to record this immediately.

I should be filling out 11 pages of new patient forms for my new doctor that I have to bring with me on Monday, but instead I'm playing on the interwebs. I took a personality test. Here's what it said.

Here's what I already knew: I'm a completely neurotic headstrong introvert. I completely disagree that I'm not concientious. I'm way concscientious. And how dare they not mention how cute I am. Ugh.

I saw this on This Isn't Happiness. The author isn't listed.

Abigail is tired of Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney.

btw, this is also how emotional I've been for the last couple of weeks. I totally understand.

I hope y'all have a happy Halloween. For fun, I thought we'd go retro with the Ben Cooper costumes from my childhood. Do you remember the Ben Cooper costumes? The had awful plastic masks that sort-of resembled the character you were supposed to be and there was a plasticky-tablecloth vest-like top. I prefered face paint, but my sister liked the masks. Once she was Cinderella, or rather, she refused to wear the top/dress/thing and wore the mask and a Dallas Cowboys sweatshirt. I was a clown in full pink clownsuit and pigtails. 

Let's take a look at Halloween Past.

Heeeeeeeey.

Samantha from Bewitched (my favorite). note eye and nose holes that never really matched up with yours.

because all little 70s kids wanted to grow up to be Leatherman from The Village People.

or Boss Hogg

da plane, Boss!

wow. every kid's favorite – Gabe Kaplan!

future Mitt Romney

drag queen mask. has to be a drag queen mask.

The first photo’s caption should be “my other needles are filled with meth.”

Second photo: “he gave me a flower wreath. Bitches love flower wreaths, he said.”
