Say Anything Blog

So it’s election day.  Here in North Dakota it’s also censorship day, because we aren’t allowed to have any political ads or billboards up today and the media can’t do any political editorializing.  Because, you know, some voter might hear something on the radio or see a lawn sign or something that makes them change their vote.  As though a vote from a citizen that shallow wouldn’t be almost meaningless in the first place, but whatever.

I think we North Dakotans are supposed to take down our lawn signs too, but I never do.  Screw ‘em.  It’s my free speech, so if they want ‘em down they can take ‘em down themselves.  Besides, every election year there’s always some idiot who writes a letter to the newspaper or calls into a radio show complaining that he/she saw a campaign ad up on a billboard or something.  They get their underwear all up in a knot, so I like to fantasize that maybe some day one of these idiots will come pounding on my door and demand that I take my signs down.  At which point I can then take the immense satisfaction of slamming the door in their face.

Anyway, there’s no law forcing blogs to go silent on election day (if there was I’d like to see them try to enforce it), so here on Say Anything we’re going to be as partisan and opinionated as we want to be.

Election day predictions abound in the media and on the blogs.  Last night there was an open thread for such over in the reader blogs.  If you’re of a mind, put your predictions in the comments.

Here’s mine:

Yes, I stole it from Dr. Shackleford, but I think it’s what will happen.  You wait and see.
