Take that, iPhone. - Brian Chang

very nice. - Monique

Does it slide open? - ⓞnor

And it really would be good to be closer to family again. (Can't believe I'm saying that considering I couldn't wait to get away from them 10 years ago. Age and experience certainly change things.) - Jill, Superhero Librarian

good luck good luck good luck! And I hear you on the family thing-- I left 22 years ago, but am now thrilled to be w/in 3 hours of them! - RudĩϐЯaЯïaȵ

Good luck! - Justin Korn

Best of luck! - Laura B.

winners? LOL - Jill, Superhero Librarian

Think I have several in the family photo box that would fit right in. - Alix Whitmire ƸӜƷ

Some of my senior pictures would fit in. LOL - Jill, Superhero Librarian

I do think we'll be okay, but it'll be painful for a while. - Thankful Molly

:-) :-) Good one, Steve! - Harold Cabezas

I hope so. - Mike Reynolds

I will intoxicate myself with coffee. - Mladen Srdić

By going to work. As a barista, making coffee for crazed addicts like all of you. :-) - Colby Olson

Thank you for keeping us supplied Colby! I bow to your skills. - Jill, Superhero Librarian

Colby you're a role model ! If only we all take after you & fill the world with coffee - embee

I might drink some tea. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

By not drinking coffee :) - Clint Ecker

Drinking a pot! - Mona N.

Why wait for tomorrow when I can start now. - Mladen Srdić

I'll join you Christopher. - Jill, Superhero Librarian

Coffee is good for you. I make the coffee strong, then put it in the freezer to make it cold. Then I add it to a milk and protein shake. - Mike Reynolds

Yum! - Jill, Superhero Librarian

At work tomorrow, Ill make myself a Keith Richards in celebration of coffee day. - Colby Olson

I'll have a beer. - Jeff P. Henderson

mike: I'd be careful. Like every substance, too much is a bad thing. Prolonged caffeine abuse can lead to adrenal exhaustion. I wonder how many people know that caffeine is actually a natural pesticide produced by plants to stop insects from eating them? - alphaxion

I'm already celebrating - Charlie Anzman

Every day is national coffee day. - Steve Lawson

I'm going to drink a pot of espresso. With sugar. - Steven Perez

Intelligentsia Black Cat Blend: Triple shot morning and afternoon. - Jay Tannenbaum

Really? Oh hell...coffee hangover here I come - ♫ Rahsheen™

I think I'll have a mocha, with a double shot in the morning. Iced coffee in the afternoon. And follow up with some Starbucks mocha ice cream before bed. Hopefully I'll get a little sleep tomorrow night. :) - Squirrel Girl

Juan Valdez and I plan to elope. - MLx

With a Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks and then by bouncing off the walls at work..... - Abby Martin

I might have to stop for one of those. It means I have to get out of my car and go into the grocery store where Starbuck's is, but it would beat McDonald's coffee. - Jill, Superhero Librarian

oh, crap! that's what I forgot today: coffee. have enough for maybe half a demitasse cup. :-( - r0c43LL3 via fftogo

picked up 3 bricks of bustelo. - Carlos Ayala

by going to Starbucks for chai tea :) - Ruth Ferguson

PEET'S MOCHA!! FTW!! (sorry for the cap lock) - Helen Sventitsky

Sorry everyone, I will probably stop by the stop'n'save and grab a one dollar cuppa bad coffee. - Pete Delucchi

Moca Joe from Burger King - David Cook

Seriously, this drives me nuts. Every few months, someone new (usually someone prominent in the news cycle) is the "most liberal Congressperson" ever. Find new talking points already, because we now have this wonderful new invention called the Internet, where we can check on your scurrilous claims. - Steven Perez

Steven, what rank is Obama then? Is he the most liberal who is not a Socialist? Most liberal Democrat? Second most liberal? I agree the Internet is wonderful. But you are not helping your cause by saying Obama is less liberal than the only socialist in the Senate. Thanks for playing "You just shot yourself in the foot". ;) - Jay Tannenbaum

When exactly did liberal become a dirty word? Look it up in the dictionary - trust me, you want a liberal raise. You want a liberal portion of pecan pie. End of the day, labels mean nothing and only serve to create friction and sell more detergent. Let's look at issues and ideas. - AJ Kohn

AJ: Not a dirty word at all. It's a common descriptor that gives dimension outside of party affiliation. Conservative is the same kind of word. I'm all for issues and ideas. Just thought it was funny to use a socialist to prove this particular point. - Jay Tannenbaum

It's hard to compare someone that has been in office for just during Bush's Administration and someone else who has been around through other admins--purely on how they have voted--of course he has voted liberal during this administration--so have A LOT of democrats-the admin has forced them too. It would be more accurate to just go back the time period Obama has been in office and then compare them--or actually look that their views and policy ideas. - Kelly W.

Hmm, gee, an argument about talking points, so informative. - Jason Wehmhoener

Jay: I submit that ranking who is or isn't "the most liberal Senator" is a false argument, put forth only to divide loyalties of the American voting populace. The real question is not who is the most "liberal" of senators; the real question is "What have you done with the people's trust with your time in the Senate?" Playing with labels is a fool's game. - Steven Perez

We've seen what's happened to the country while it has been controlled by "conservatives." I say it's time for a "liberal.' - Tad, Fool

Folks, seriously, this is all a lot of hot air. Instead of pissing each other off arguing about pointless banality, can we try to talk about some stuff that actually matters? I know, I'm tilting at windmills here. - Jason Wehmhoener

Even though we all may "start building our bridge" from a different place wouldn't it be best if we all built it together? - Mark VandenBerg

Jason: thank you. That is entirely my point. - Steven Perez

I was saying that I if you could remove the way McCain's campaign has been run, I cannot say that I hate McCain. I am perhaps being generous based on my previous perceptions of him. Currently I only see him as four more years of Bush policices [based on Obama shaping M's image] and McCain running a anti-Obama, not a pro-McCain campaign. If that makes any sense. - Ruth Ferguson

I genuinely like Obama. I wish he was more liberal, and as such don't agree with all of his positions. But he does seem to have more intelligence, integrity, and character than anyone else who's run for the office in my lifetime. I don't have to hold my nose to vote for him. - Eric P

McCain is running on the same old recycled lines he's been fed by the Republican spin machine. The "looking into Putin's soul and seeing KGB" is a line he stole from Colin Powell's speech. His message is one of fear and loathing and not a responsible and hopeful message like Obama. - Larry Kless

I keep hearing people talk about this "lesser of two evils" thing, but I think what they really wanna say is "I think McCain sucks horribly, but I can't bring myself to support Obama". I leave the reasons for not supporting Obama up to the reader to imagine. - ♫ Rahsheen™

It seems to me that McCain is focused on how bad things are right now (short term) but Obama is focused on how we get to the next stage (long term) and acknowledges there are new hurdles with the present state of the economy but seems a lot more optimistic about still getting to where we need to be. I don't like politicians and I don't believe they honestly have my best interests at heart or can really identify with my needs, but Obama seems much more in touch with them than McCain does. - Lindsay Donaghe

@ Eric, Obama is the most liberal senator there is. How can you get more liberal than that ask for a pure Marxist. If elected Obama will quickly bring communist ideals to this country we can only hope congress has the foresight to stop it before its too late! Don't beleive me read Carl Marx book then read Obamas plan! - Mark Miller

Yes I think the lesser of the evils is very misunderstood on this thread. McCain is nearly the most liberal republican senator there is. Somehow he got the nomination. This is viewed as an evil to most conservatives but not as evil as the Marxist attitudes and policies of Obama. Give me Hillary I think she is more conservative than McCain. - Mark Miller

@ Mark Miller oh look a sockpuppet. How cute! <pinching its cheeks> - Richard Walker

The funny thing is, most progressives think that Obama is too much of a centrist. I think some people underestimate just how liberal America really is. - Victor Ganata

I completely agree, Ruth. I'm surprised at my level of support for Obama. I can't remember the last presidential election where I've actually been excited about voting for someone. The last several elections left me feeling like I was "settling." And on won occasion I hated the options so much I didn't vote. Which is not an attitude I support at all generally. - Squirrel Girl

Love!!! - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

This is cool. - Russellreno

Wow, awesome. Those look like those cars you drag back and let go... - ♫ Rahsheen™

Hahaha.... +1 Rahsheen - Jaemi Kehoe

Yep - my first thought was "Penny Racers!" - Laura B.

FREKIN ZAWESOME - sean percival

Who squished the cars? - Chris Rivait

I've always wanted to actually drive a Micro Machine! - Mike L

If someone really did make body kits like this, I'd want one. :) - Donato (ricin)

So funny. They would sell like crazy if someone could pull it off. - Jeremy Hall

I agree Jeremy. It's such a clever idea. - Jill, Superhero Librarian

I'd buy that for a dollar! - Chris W

want! - Carmen

That looks like just what I need for my quarter-life crisis. It's like off-roading in a Micro Machine. - Kevin Bondelli

Ooh! Fun!! I don't have tv, so I'll have to rely on FF for the visual commentary, but I suspect I can listen to it on POTUS.. - Katy Southern

Debate is at 9pm EST, and it's on all teh networks, even for me with my 8 channels :) - ωαřмaiden

If I drink everytime McCain says "my friends," I'll be unconscious in a no time flat. - joshua m. neff

Ok. May be potentially tough call...long dinner with people I haven't seen in a couple of years or debate. I'll know my decision Friday! - ÊļļßĕĕĈėė

Just remind me on Thursday. Otherwise I'm likely to completely forget. - Jill, Superhero Librarian

fwiw, I luv Jim Lehrer a little bit. - Katy Southern

Let's do it!! I'm so about that, WarMaiden! - K.G. Schneider

Hee, fun times. Maybe we can set up a debate room - ωαřмaiden

i'm hosting a debate watching party as is my usual tradition along with liveblogging/tweeting it. - Anika Malone

Think that sounds like great fun. - Jason Griffey via twhirl

I'm in! I have a post-debate party to go to around the corner. And Jim Lehrer=LOVE! - flaming horse

Obama's keywords seem to be "hope" and "change" for those of you who intend on making a game of it... ;-) - Michael Baird

Will try to make sure trainerboi has me home by 9 :) - ωαřмaiden

I certainly will be online twitting/FFing and likely live blogging if my friend at dallassouthblog.com does it as usual. LOL - so clearly i never "look" at the screen. - Ruth Ferguson

My cat sits just far enough away from my plate on the table that she's safe from me shoving her. My other cat sits at my feet, waiting. - laura x

OMG did I just admit to the intertubes that my cat sits on the table while I'm eating?!? Yes, I am a crazy spinster librarian cat lady. - laura x

Hurrah for the embodiment of stereotypes!! And we all know what librarians get up to when they've finished saying "shhhh!", don't we? - Slippy Lane

I spritz my cats with a water spritzer when they get on the dinner table or computer desk while I am eating - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

I sometimes eat lunch in my chair and my cat will sit in my lap and try to eat the sandwich from the other side. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

*HUGS* - Helen Sventitsky via fftogo

Totally adorable. - Jaemi Kehoe
