You guys get stickers?

Gyp.

Heck yeah, we get stickers! This is AMERICA, yo, land of milk and honey--and STICKERS!

Actually, our country is pretty much in favor of anything we can stick our flag on. (For more info, see: THE MOON.) ;)

LOL!

We are in favor of sticking our flag anywhere up for claiming, but I blame England for this tradition (i.e. Eddie Izzard's flag bit).

Oh dear God, I love that bit!

"No flag, no country! Those are the rules...that I've just made up..."

I wondered why Canadians don't get stickers, then I imagined the kerfluffle it would cause in the House of Commons over misuse of taxpayer's money, and told my brain to shut up.

Oh, dear God help me, I LOLed! Thanks for that.

(We don't have health care, but WE HAVE STICKERS! Jealous yet? *sigh*)

...No fair! Chicagoans don't get stickers! I got a receipt. It feels so... wrong.

OMG, a RECEIPT?! That is hilarious, and yet...so American!

(I love the stickers! I used to have a collection of them on my old computer monitor.)

I was SO RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED that I turned 18 in a presidential election year (2000)! I was all, "I get to vote for president in my very first election when I'm 18!"

Yeah, no one cared.

And that's when i wish i didn't do mail-in ballots. I miss the sticker.

Also, predicting the dems will have about 185-190 seats left in the house. sad day, but expected.

It's incredibly sad, but it's not like the democrats did a GODDAMN THING when they had the majority! (I'm still upset that they failed to capitalize on their majority in 2006! I AM OVER YOU, DEMOCRATS!)

Ok, that's enough from me. At least they keep the Senate?

[identity profile] creativeaminot.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
I think the reason for failing to capitalize on the majority was that they were so focused on Bush flailing in the WH that they wouldn't have to work that hard. Which is yeah, stupid.

I myself am a moderate. My biggest concern is watching the democrats have such small representation in the House. Supposedly this year will mark the fewest in over 60 years. In terms of the voice of the House, it will be interesting to see what happens.

In other news, CO is blue, who knew? (thank god no tea party) They're mostly a red state in terms or Reps. though.
