30. I jokingly predicted Flip-Flopper getting 47%
|
A few days after the 47% tape from Flip-Flopper surfaced, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek post about how ironic it would be if Etch-A-Sketch got that percentage in the final vote count.
Here's to my foresight! |

39. GOPers on the TV this week have been saying that Pres Obama doesn't have a mandate 'this time'
|
Obama now has more votes than Bush did in 2004 when Bush went around saying he had a mandate. That's why everyone was wanting to see Obama, in this year's election, beat the 2004 Bush numbers
