Eli Stone = Ally McBeall. Um, let’s see what else is on.
The flash-forwards are so much more chilling than any flashback ever was. I’m freaking out over that episode.

Unabridged Chat on Politics, Coke, and Trains
Mike: so i was thinking
Mike: have you done coke?
Peter: no
Mike: so
Mike: after obama won iowa
Mike: i talked to my boss and asked him if he was ready to join the O-Train
Mike: so he started using "O-Train" too
Peter: hahah
Mike: cuz he thought it was funny
Mike: and he used it in a poll and it was published in a magazine that EVERYBODY in dc reads
Pol Comment: “There is insufficient time for the ‘O’ train to crisscross 22 states in one week, even with Teddy [Kennedy] as conductor.”
Peter: no way
Peter: that's amazing
Peter: what does it have to do with coke?
Mike: nothing
Peter: if obama wins
Peter: we do coke
Mike: aside from the fact that obama did coke
Peter: really?
Mike: yeah
Peter: in celebration of coke
Mike: admitted to having a problem with it
Peter: wowwww
Peter: i love him
Mike: you would
Peter: yup
Peter: this just cements that
Peter: tell your boss that I think his metaphor is complete, concise, and well played
Peter: so, obama really isn't going to win the nomination, huh
Mike: according to DC insiders
Peter: or, at least it'd be an upset
Mike: it would be an upset
Peter: that's good
Peter: i like rooting for the visiting unranked team
Mike: she's ahead in 10 of the 22 states voting next tuesday, outside the margin of error
Mike: and he's only ahead in one
Mike: outside the margin of error
Mike: the rest are inside the MOE
Peter: i hope you're typing out an explanation
Mike: but 40% of delegates awarded in next tuesday's primary are concentrated in NY, NJ, AR, and CA
Mike: polling has a margin of error, often times of 2-5% depending on the sample size of the poll, she's ahead of obama by at least the margin of error or above in 10 of the 22 states which have primaries next tuesday
Mike: and delegates are awarded based on population density and registered party voters
Mike: as well as proprotion of the percentage of the vote
Peter: oooh, Margin of Error
Peter: I like that
Peter: might start using "MOE" in my day to day vocab
Peter: "Hey man, you gonna chat up that chick over there?"
Peter: "No, there's far too great of a MOE, what with me drunk and all."
Mike: haha
Mike: yes, you should do that, peter
Peter: yup
Peter: well, at least politics is exciting for me
Peter: finally
Mike: haha
Mike: hey, id be perfectly happy if the O-Train chugged all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania
Mike: but right now, i'm with the Hill Dawg
Peter: aka, the titantic
Peter: obama's the upset iceberg
Mike: he's a train, not a ship
Peter: fine
Mike: or an iceberg
Peter: hill dawg's the Hindenburg and obama's the reliable and quick no explody cross country train
Mike: hahahha
Mike: and from illinois
Mike: where President Lincoln is from
Peter: and where people love trains
Mike: who, drove the final spike in the transcontinental railroad
Mike: connecting the union and the pacific
Peter: in fact, the most exciting thing ever happening in Illinois at any given moment is a train passing through
Peter: this meta-metaphor is amazing
Mike: i'm full of fun facts
Mike: and useless information
Peter: hardly
Mike: okay, i'm a bit wrong
Mike: lincoln didnt drive the golden spike into the transcontinental railroad
Peter: noooooooo
Mike: because it happened in 1869
Mike: HOWEVER
Peter: he would have
Peter: of that I'm sure
Mike: he signed the legislation in 1862 that put the TCRR in construction, and its largely viewed as one of his great successes
Peter: the second is returning to earth in Obama's body
Mike: next to freeing the slaves and blah blah blah civil war blah
Peter: he's been a positive influence on both Colbert
Peter: and the theater. He made people realize that some theater is worth dying for, and that's important.
Peter: are we done being completely hilarious? because I want to put this on my blog.
Mike: yes, i think the time has passed
Peter: dead to me
Mike: i mean for that particular hilarity
Mike: we'll always be completely hilarious

Is anyone else watching the last Lost episode on ABC right now? With the ticker on the bottom giving in-show facts, clues, and narration, it feels like VH1’s pop up video mixed with a classroom study video.

Pats vs. Giants
Neither. As an Eagles fan I cannot side with the Giants. We are mortal enemies, competing for a spot at the top of our geographically close division. I’ve been an Eagles fan for as long as I cared about Football and rooting for the Giants doesn’t just feel wrong, it feels horribly wrong - enough to make me need to shower immediately. However, the energy in this town is a lot of fun...
I’m going to make a bold statement, and refute it all you want, but like Christians and that whole bible thing, I’m sticking to my story. I thought long and hard about this, and I realized that the reason men treat women like objects, is their own fault. They are the reason they get treated like they do. First, sex is NOT a reward; its a consensual (usually) meeting of two, three, four people...

adamiss:(via zachlinder)The only good news I’ve gotten today
Barely 12 months after pledging never, ever again to add to the federal debt, Congress will add at least $201 billion to the federal debt. The federal deficit for the most recent fiscal year, which ended before either of the new actions, was $163 billion. Congress has, in the past six weeks alone, added more to the federal debt than the entire federal deficit for the most recent fiscal year....
