I forgot to get beer on the way home! I was gunning it to get to DU...lol... I'll be right back!

...just to calm the nerves. at home now, i've got a refrigerator stocked with a bunch of local PA brews: straub, yuengling, and rolling rock. and i'm ready to call off sick tomorrow!

cheers!

Yeeehaaaaw!!

Beer is a good treatment for PEAD. I didn't think of that myself. I have a glass of red now.

Gonna eat hot dogs with KERRY KETCHUP (Heinz) to help the evening along. I'd add baked beans to make it a regular saturday night dinner for us in Maine, but that might be gaseous.

Enjoy the RRock for me.

PS

"Kerry Edwards 2004" carved on our pumpkin and it's at our governor's democratic party tonight - courtesy of the 'pumpkin girl', my 16yo daughter.

...along with the 15 i'll be drinking for myself! nice work on the pumpkins!

we have our pumpkins lit on the front stoop right now, and right above our kerry/edwards sign in the door, 3 printouts i made at work of hunter s. thompson brandishing his .44, with today's quote underneath: "we will march on a road of bones - HST 11/02/2004". if you haven't read it yet, the good doctor awaits:

Big ups to the people who run this site.

I have no doubt that you were instrumental in this.

The operators and users of DU have been my lifeline through some very rough seas.

You guys are the rock solid fucking best. I would do anything for you guys.


Thanks for being here. :toast:

- jb

you've kept me sane. I also have no doubt that DU has been a driving force in this election...in this victory!

:toast: to everyone here who have helped me keep my sanity over the past year. God, I am so calm right now. I just have a feeling deep in my gut that we're going to get our country back tonight!

Have a drink everyone you've earned it!
:beer:

:toast:

Some have done ALOT more than me, some have done less, but we have ALL done what we could. I toast you all, devoted patriotic Americans who only wanted their country back.

I salute you and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
:toast::toast:

Now

GET OUT AND VOTE!!

:)

:toast:

And most of all, to the creators of DU. My sanity never would have survived these past 3 1/2 yrs. without it!

We did it!!! What a ride!

Spread the joy.

:toast: Here's to EVERYONE who stood against this regime! :toast:

let's keep it humble folks, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yourock:

We all honor our ancestors!

And a deep debt of gratitude to Skinner, EarlG and elad for this tiny spark that grew to a WILDFIRE!!!!!!:toast::thumbsup:

EVERYBODY HERE!

It's not over yet, but at least we can be grateful that it looks as good as it does at the moment. And I'd bet we had at least a little bit to do with that. And to you, matcom, for your stories about dadcom and momcom. VERY encouraging!

HUGS everybody!

Oh yes, and one more thing:

Remember the wise counsel of Mad-Eye Moody from the Harry Potter books: CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe chimpy was talking about us when he mentioned hard work.

i will raise a glass high in the air for matcom and all the rest here at DU later tonite. let's hope we end this thing early tonite without a legal battle....keep fighting for the last few hours to make sure we pound the peace hating fascists into the ground.

rock on, DU.

the hardest work i have ever personally experienced

GO KERRY!!!

We get out of it what we put into it - that's LIFE! You're living it well!

:toast: to you for Dadcom and Momcom

thanks to everyone for helping a 'red state dweller' keep some sanity!!! :toast:

demos, for we are jolly good demos, for we are jolly good demos.......which nobody can deny....

Admins....you rock!

I'm waiting to hear the words on Inauguration Day:

"I'm John Kerry, reporting for duty!!"

:toast:

I volunteered.
And last, but NOT least (by far)...
<drumroll>
I did the most foolhardy thing a person can do.
For the first time in my 63 years I opened my purse to a politician.
I'm talkin' SERIOUS triple digits of retirement income.
If you could see my mouth? You'd see a stack of dead presidents right there on it.

I'm hoping for Ambassador to Luxembourg.

Damn right matcom.
HOORAY for our side.
:thumbsup:

Not celebrating YET... but feeling very hopeful for a celebration soon. :)

Thank you DUers, for keeping my spirits up!

Thank you mods, for putting a check on us when we went over the line!

Thanks to all at DU; admins, posters and lurkers for your patience and insight during the dark times and the great times.

without DU and all the wonderful people here.

Although I've only been here since Jan 04, I've learned so much from all you fellow DUers.

I want to thank everyone who has made my experience here so fulfilling.
I want to thank those who have taught me something I didn't know the previous day and there were a lot of days like that.
I want to thank everyone for letting me rant and vent. Thanks for listening.
I want to thank those who have made me laugh and smile and even cry.

I want to thank Skinner and his staff for a great website, the best on the net.

I want to thank those who have given their hard earned money and time to fight for our issues and causes. Without all of you, we wouldn't be in the position we are in tonight. To take our country back.


:toast:

thank you for my sanity. :toast:

:toast:

this place has been a haven during the Bushevik reign.

thanks to all.

i think we are seeing before us a new birth to our democracy in america, and it has arisen from widespread grass roots activism unparalleled in our history.

its time we polish the shine on that city on a hill.

And a shout out to Mrs BeatleBoot who worked her butt off for Kerry!

TOAST YOURSELF for donating to grass-roots organizations
TOAST YOURSELF for donating to the Kerry campaign
TOAST YOURSELF for registering new voters
TOAST YOURSELF for convincing your colleagues of the truth
TOAST YOURSELF for never losing faith
TOAST MICHAEL MOORE for his courage and commitment
TOAST HOWARD DEAN for blazing the trail
TOAST JOHN KERRY and JOHN EDWARDS for being OUR candidates

And one more TOAST TO THE OWNERS OF THIS SITE!!!!

(And TOAST to all the volunteer moderators as well, I know I couldn't do it... or I'd be banning people right and left:))

:toast:

without all of you!

:toast: to all the "hard work" you Always do!

Meet us at Goose Island on Clark near Wrigley and the first round is on me!

GO KERRY, BEAT NAZIS

:toast:

here's to my fellow genuine patriots. :toast: :yourock: :beer:

Yeah for ALL DUers!!!!


:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Yeah, things are looking fan-fucking-tastic out there, but I won't be responsible for anybody getting lazy and not voting because they think the job's done.

Polls are still open another 4 hours here, and Bush's little bitch Dino Rossi is trying to become my governor (and boss) and I'll be damned if I'm gonna accept that, so....

I DON'T CARE IF KERRY'S GOT A 60-40 LEAD, GET YOUR ASSES TO THE POLLS!!

:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

To Everybody!!! :D

There is electricity in the air. We are not going down without a huge fight. And if we win, it will because we have given it our all and not for any other reason.

Regardless of any other factor, our loyalty to our country and our loyalty to electing a decent, fundamentally good man to the White House will be what we remember most in the end. Getting this country back on the right track is the most important aspect of what we have tried to do, and will continue to do well into the future--which if Kerry wins, will actually happen.

Wish I could vote, too, but this is YOUR day. So, before I go to bed (it's way past midnight in Germany), to all of you a big :toast:!

Fuckin "A"

:toast:

My precint in Gilbert AZ is still packed with after work voters.

I'm toasting with cranberry juice and vodka...yeah.

:bounce:

:kick:

things are moving FAST tonight!

:bounce:

And making us laugh. I mean you, matcom, the "owners", and all the brothers and sisters here at DU who are forging a new definition of Democracy in the Digital Age. We WILL take over the earth!

fish and POI.....

this cite is good for us and we will win and everyone needs to be positive. My Dad says Bush and Cheney will be beat because they stareted a war against the Muslim people and they did not want to hurt us. He says it is a war for the oil and Bush wants the oil and gas in those places.

A special cheer to the Admins....
