Watching the right wing meltdown will be great. Fuck going high, I want to see some deplorables cry bitterly.

I have a bottle of champagne in case Hillary wins, and a lot of cheap whiskey in case Trump wins.

(Well OK, it’s sparkling wine, not real Champagne.)

Right. I’m thinking we should play some pool while we get soused instead of watching TV as usual though.

I just got off work. Also I’m like popeye except instead of spinach I have old crow whiskey that I dump into my system to give me superpowers.

I wish my system could tolerate MJ. I really do. Its so much better than alcohol. But panic attacks ruin it. Damn my luck.

Got 1.5 liters of rum, 0.5 of Mount Gay and a full liter of Appleton, to go. Well stocked with mixers. Six drunks in and ready for more.

Feeling no pain now. Might stay this way the rest of the week.

Different country, but we have a no alcohol sales on election day law here in Cayman. Technically it is no sales until polls close. Still pisses off the tourists who are visiting by cruise ship and want to but duty free booze.

At least I can plan ahead. No worries there. Oh yeah.

I wish I were crunk right now. But alas, 4ish more hours until my eventual encrunkening.

Didn’t know you were from around these parts.

Plan A was too much, too early. Better start pacing myself.

I toasted the President, the American electorate, and Hillary with some Johnnie Walker Red Label a few hours ago. Hope it does some good.

I have an endless and stupid Johnnie Walker anecdote. Remind me not to tell it.

At this point, my former pastor is ahead for state rep. 1. All politics is local. 2. Maureen gets him out of the house. He’s been at loose ends, and planned his retirement around his filing date. Just hope our next is as [del]Wobbly[/del] [del]pinko[/del] ELCA as he. My suggestion prefers her job at the Park Ridge Vatican. They prefer I don’t call it that, but Norskies have no sense of humor, and I’m only an eighth. 😉

Well, right now I’m doing fine and feeling swell between the bubbly from the results party for the candidate I personally worked for winning, the sangria from the staff afterparty and the quite fine generous-pour cubalibre I just made myself upon getting home.

This way I can be absolutely sure that no matter what I will feel sick and miserable when I fall off the bed in mid-morning.

I don’t have a presidential vote in the General (I do in the primary) but I do get a congressional delegate and my locals and that’s justification enough. Plus of course we are handcuffed to the USA so if you go down, _ **WE** _ go down so there’s that…

What do you mean? The title is exactly as I intended it to read. Are people taking “crunk” as a typo?

Feeling like a few rounds of Mount Gay rum was a good call.

Have enough stocked in the liquor cabinet to feel no pain for several days.
