Sly Stone two days ago. Brian Wilson today. These guys are all in their 80s and we're in for a lot of this kind of news from now on.

This is just grim.
It's been called: Liberals win. Just waiting to see if it's a majority or minority. #CanadianElection
Drinking some Canadian whisky to calm my nerves. I don't think I've felt this anxious about a federal election before. Even when Harper won a majority I took it in stride. This feels different or has social media conditioned us to react this way?

Whoever wins, Trump will claim it's because of him.
Two dire wolf pups, the “world’s first successfully de-extincted animal”.
Our world is now heading for a fun Mad Max/Jurassic Park/Game of Thrones mash-up.
A delegation from Nunavut will be sent to help with the transition.
9. We in Canada are excited by this new chapter for North America. We welcome our American cousins into our fold and we hope you enjoy curling.
8. The remaining red states will be combined into one territory. In the spirit of Northwest Territories we’ll call it Southern Territories and there will be limited self-government with oversight from Ottawa. You can keep your guns but they will require retrofitting to only shoot marshmallows.
7. The rest of the blue states will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis but it will mainly be combined into one or two provinces.
6. Alaska will join Yukon and together be granted provincial status. They’ll have to fight it out over the name. The two biggest guys in each area are to get drunk and punch it out. Winner takes all.
5. Hawaii will be given its independence.
4. The Great Lake States will go to Ontario so that all the Great Lakes are within Ontario’s borders.
3. In all fairness Texas should probably go to Mexico. I’m also open to negotiations with France for the return of the Louisiana Territory. Although they have no actual claim to it, I think it’s probably best to give Florida to Cuba. I’m sure all those Cuban expats would love to be repatriated.
2. California and New York can be provinces right away. Washington & Oregon can join British Columbia. Feel free to discuss a new name as that “British” thing is archaic. New England will be divided among Nova Scotia & New Brunswick. Maybe give Rhode Island to Prince Edward Island.
1. All this talk of the #11thProvince is premature. I’m not certain if the Unites States is entirely ready for provincehood just yet. I believe we need to discuss partitions and making a few of the more prosperous states provinces and deal with the rest on a case-by-case basis.
I think the US should be a territory for a while first. Self-governing, but with oversight from Ottawa.
Man checks his email in the early 1980s using hand-held computer and modem.
Not sure what's cooler: using a hand-held computer and portable acoustic modem to check email through a payphone in the early 1980s; or, his pipe.
A Surly Miles Davis Xmas to you.

Your whole post was a whataboutism.
The topic is that Trump supporters can't blame Obama or Hillary for Trump's upcoming failures and you chimed in with "What about drones?"
Yeah, but you're playing to an audience that understands the reference.
I was just speaking of the decline of the education system. If that did result in Trump's win, then that decline has been going on since the '60s. Yes, there are a disturbing number of young men who've embraced Trumpism but I'm not sure they're a powerful voting bloc yet.
But it's not the kids, it's the older people who voted for him.
The new thing is to claim that Jesus and His family were Palestinians.
There can be more than one word for something.
Russian interference? You're right. You just need to throw in the media complicity and voter apathy.
Let's start the Xmas season off right.
Women are already not safe in their own spaces and it's because of men, not trans women, men. No r*pist needs to dress as a woman to assault a woman.
