More LIRR Ad Madness

Whoever is doing this probably has plenty of time on the train during which they're not being observed. Maybe one of the folks who cleans the train?

Might be a bit tough to see, but someone cut the heads off pictures from one ad and pasted them onto this ad for The O.C.. The heads are those of Dr. Phil and Oprah. Couldn't tell who the other folks were. (One looks like Olympia Dukakis.)

You simply can't do this on the train in full view of the passengers. And unless you take a train that runs at 3 AM or something, one would never run into a situation where one could pull this off without having somebody see something, which makes me think it's probably one of the cleaning folks.

Multitasking

I've got Air America piped in through my laptop, Atrios and DailyKos refreshing on my browser every few minutes, and Rob is running the TV (flipping between CNN, MSNBC and Fox News). I'm dying to see how NJ, PA, OH, FL and MI turn out.

I'm so keyed up over the states that were given to Bush without a second thought - some of them are closer than I would have thought. Some pundits are predicting a win for Kerry while Bush might take the popular vote. I think the popular vote might be closer than folks might otherwise think.

CBS just showed Florida running 55/43 Bush/Kerry. Time to split to the next room. More later...

Yeah, What He Said.

Eric submitted this photo, which he took a mere 1/2 a block from where he voted today.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Regardless of how this election turns out, it is certainly the most emotionally charged one I've ever witnessed. I cannot remember the last time that voters were so passionate about their opinions and their likes/dislikes for the candidates. Many people I know who were not politically involved in the past couple elections are protesting, making signs, volunteering and more.

If nothing else, I think we will see the voter turnout trend reverse itself this time around.

Thanks for the photo, Eric.
