Death Impends

Ted Mack

Shame to see a titan go, and a shame his last years were so beset by feuding. RIP.

Excelsior! Numerous teams's Spidey-senses were not tingling for Stan Lee, meaning this result is not fantastic for them. Indeed, the scoreboard has been HULK SMASHED! machotrouts now Marvels at taking the podium. 1. machotrouts 17 2. Joey Russ 20 3. The Dead Cow 21 =4. Death Impends 23 =4.

Trump Senate gains were inevitable IMO given it was an utterly dreadful map for Dems. McCaskill and Donnelly's 2012 wins were flukes to begin with given they only won via their opponents making stupid comments about rape, which tbh probably wouldn't even be fatal anymore in this hyper-polarized political environment. Likewise Heitkamp only won last time due to a weak candidate. Dems need someone who can motivate and do strongly in the states that were most lukewarmly Trump in 2016. Not sure if they do yet. Keeping all the Hillary states plus flipping back PA/MI/WI would be enough for the win but obviously any Hillary-styled milquetoasts will struggle doing that.

Bush didn't lose House or Senate until 2006. His party actually made gains in the 2002 midterms, due to the aftermath of 9/11 creating a considerably different political environment for a midterm.

Someone also needs to give Richard Overton an exploding cigar.

It's crazy that Wiki's now listed 41 deaths on the 4th - and even if you disregard the red links it's still higher than the average number of "Wiki deaths" for a day - but sooo few of them are familiar or interesting.

Could the Living End unique streak dream still live? Gerard Basset now terminally ill...

I'll give credit on one thing, looking at 888-333's avatar while listening to Another One Bites the Dust actually works really well.

This forum has def influenced my lingo as well. A frequent user of "bollocks" when frustrated, now!

A so-so night as a whole. Getting the House is excellent, and my state made me proud in flipping 3 seats to the Dems. Senate tanked as expected - but I guess it could've been a lot worse given how dreadful a map it was for the Dems (though Nelson losing was a surprise to me). Like Joey I'm proud of Beto's result and while it was too early for him, I think it sets a solid framework for Texas Dems in the future. Governorships were disappointing with several potential Dem pickups failing, but they at least made gains there, and seeing Kobach and Walker go down in particular was satisfying.

Guardian and Mail don't give a shit about Canada (or New Zealand) but are obsessed with all things Australia. That's the big difference.

Only Hare's 2017 survivor I dropped because I thought he'd be a late 2017/early 2018 death. Instead makes it all the way to November '18, a funny game, deadpooling!
