TFD: Election party!
Posted on November 4th, 2008 – 4:59 PMBy Michael Rand
Maybe it’s a sign of our age or just how much people are wrapped up in politics this year, but we are attending our first election party this year and had to turn down two others. Is the election party the new social event of the 21st century?
Discuss, and then note that you shall never have to discuss politics on RandBall for another 3.5 years or so. We’ll be back to Vikings, Twins free agency, Wolves, Wild, Gophers and all the crazy things that happen everywhere else. And by the time 2012 rolls around, we will be projected onto your living room wall as a hologram. Hey, should spice up some of those Q&As.

(GASP!) A Randball Fathead would totally complete my clubhouse!
If you decide not to attend one of your fancy election parties, I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party.
I am apparently not hip or trendy enough to be invited to any election parties.
I’ll be tracking the election at home on cnn while feeding my Fallout 3 addiction, though a celebratory beer will hopefully be in order at some point as the evening wears on.
@ Newbie- BAD NEWBIE!! No Fatheads!
Oh, we’ll be talking politics in fewer than four years. Think four words; Clarence Swamptown for Governor.
One negative of the elections being over?
More P3! Just in time for Packer week.
America. Eff Yeah.
That is all.
I approve.
Nicely done, America.
Now, let’s heal this country.
Rand, CNN has already beaten you on the hologram front. People in Chicago were magically beamed back to the studio in New York! It was incredible, and CNN wouldn’t stop talking about it for 10 minutes. The future is now - embrace it, Rand.
There was a guy standing in front of our Township Hall polling place with a bow and arrow. I thought he was trying to intimidate voters, turns out he was just deer hunting.
So how does this work today? Do I go to Pohlad’s house to get my check? Or do I send him an invoice?
Mr. fasola - thank you for the kind endorsement. America may have elected a black president, but the anti-scoliosis sentiment in this country is still strong. I would not stand a chance.
Clarence - I think you’re supposed to talk to the IRS about your check.
And, anti-scoliosis is right, as Principal Skinner’s mother always said, “A curvy spine is the Devil’s rollercoaster.”
Since the Senate race isn’t officially over, are we still going to be bombarded with those damn commercials?
I wrote that last comment but for some reason the Strib website really wants me to be Dave MN.(His name automatically came up in the name box) Sorry Dave, it was not intentional.
If a hologram of Rand shows up in my bedroom I’m calling the cops.
I can’t tell what’s going to drag on longer - the Coleman/Franken race or Marion Gaborik’s latest injury.
jama - I know, it had Clarence Swamptown in my “name” box a minute ago, so I refreshed and it was back to mine again.
This blog has been doing that more often than not recently. Pretty weird.
I share the sentiment about the “damn commercials”, though. So it’s not like you grossly misrepresented me.
