That's wild. Didn't Stevens have a clear lead when the remaining votes to be counted were mostly military absentee? If so, the military that primarily votes republiucan missed the memo to elect stevens anyway so he can step down and be replaced by a pick of Palins, or does it not work that way in Alaska?

Oh well, automatic recount...

When will it end?

I'm glad to see Stevens go, but I'd rather he be able to step down and be replaced by Palin. I'm sure others here would rather see Begich get it. At least we can agree to disagree.

Here's an idea. Google before you post so you're not so misinformed. Go on.

Oh, and expect Franken to win after the recount in MN too. The only seat out of the 3 that are up for grabs that is likely to end up going for the GOP is the one in GA and thats because everyone and their mother has been campaigning for it.

When will you stop being and antagonistic bastard?

I could have looked up the information. I stated what I thought the truth was and posed it as a question.

Do you know what a question is?

Please get a life and stop being a shithead.

Manny, you used to be capable of independent thought. I'm not sure how anyone with a brain can be excited about the Dems having a filibuster proof majority in Congress to go with a lib in the WH.

Be careful what you wish for.

They're not going to get it AHF and I've seen what the current GOP has to offer and I simply hate it. What the hell has the GOP done for me in congress? Fuck the taxrate, they basically cut my income in half. They've attacked the environment and civil liberties. They've done NOTHING but horrible shit.

I'm through with the current GOP. The Democrats offer far better even when I consider what I disagree with.

Its not that I'm not capable of independent thought AHF, its that the alternative is so fucking shitty.

I'll stop being an antagonistic bastard when you through being an ignorant idiot. So don't hold your breath because I'm not thinking thats going to happen anytime soon. There's a reason people get tired of you and end up simply making fun of you. Maybe its time to become a little introspective and direct those questions of yours in a different direction.

Or continue being an idiot. Its endless entertainment.

So what do you do for money? Gamble, own a online gambling company?

Just asking. I don't gamble so I don't know a thing about the industry.

So how did that act cut your salary in half? Less opportunity to play or something?

I have mixed feelings about it I guess. I had a brother in law who started gambling online. When my sister divorced him he had lost all their savings and was something like $80k in debt. Then again, he was always an idiot. No amount of legislation was going to change that.
