This can't possibly be true, can it?

The rule of everything is you have to say Benghazi at least three million times in every news article.

What does any of that have to do with Arabian Horses?

He has until 7 pm on Election Day, although his polling place is, weirdly, a Mormon Church.

Really, 52nd & University? I didn't know that, and I spent a lot of time in the apartment building immediately to the west of the place, even before they acquired the land. I don't know that that's technically an LDS temple. Seems to be more of a missionary training area and nominal outreach center, kind of like what the Dehonians purported to do at 53rd and Blackstone, although the latter don't appear to do a fucking thing, whereas the Mormons at least keep a steady white-shirt-and-black-tie bicycle presence in the neighborhood.

[Edit.--Obama's polling place actually seems to be the lobby of the Drexel Square Apartments, which is even weirder, as it's farther away.]

Joe Biden has something to give you.

INTERACTIVE!!!  Now you can attempt to make Mitt Romney's tax plan add up.  Bear in mind, there are some tax increases on this chart, so beware of bearded men named Grover.

I think several of you already saw this, but last night Joe Mande's Twitter feed took on an entertaining, BestFansStLouis-style vibe by re-tweeting Republicans who are mad at Chris Christie for saying, like, one nice thing about Obama. A sample:

Perhaps they can come up with a similar app for Obama's plan?  That is, when he gets around to making one?

Fixed.

Another day, another GOP congressional candidate steps in it on the abortion/rape question.

PS - The NRSC is quietly giving money back to Akin in Missouri; it was only time.

Almost fixed.  Should read "I like, or even one member of Congress would vote for."

The GOP needs to be eradicated. It's past time. Reasonable party members should confer and start a new thing while we firebarn the vast majority.

I'm enjoying the people bitching about traffic and the airport and the like because Obama flew in to vote.

Yes, your shitty flight is more important than the president voting. Get over your worthless life.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is that better? Citizenry's complaints about their worthless lives are to be disregarded, but the inconveniences caused by the President's need to drop in on a Thursday afternoon at rush hour so he can cast the all-important votes for Bobby Rush, Barbara Flynn Currie and electrical aggregation a few days early should trump all!

When is it ok for the president to visit his hometown? Or is it not ok when he's a democrat?

It's perfectly OK to visit his hometown, and honestly, I wish he'd be here more often. I'm just wondering why the wouldn't find a time and a location more convenient for everybody, as after all, isn't early voting (or absentee voting as Pen pointed out) all about convenience? He could have hopped off his plane on the tarmac, and voted at a Northwest side early voting location. He could have voted on Saturday morning. When is he planning on coming into town on Election Day? He has until 7 pm on Election Day, although his polling place is, weirdly, a Mormon Church.

A friend of mine posted on Facebook earlier this week that Paul Ryan's motorcade SHUT DOWN I-75/85 through downtown Atlanta during rush hour. D-U-M-B. Shame on both guys' advance teams for not thinking more clearly about the great unwashed.

No motorcades, supporting the USPS (like a TRUE 'Merican) and using modern technology and mass communication FTW.
