It is not over.  Not remotely.

When they described the thin-sleek-largescreen ergonomics I thought, "mmmm, sounds like they've caught up to a samsung"

The map app fail quashed any thoughts I might have entertained over joining the borg. 

Right now, Barry has a 77.3% chance of winning.  I think the world of this forecasting methodology....they nailed 2008 with extremely high precision.

Furthermore, Romney has reportedly bailed out of Michigan and Pennsylvania to double down resources in other swing states

So  in answer to your question, no, it does not really appear to be much of a contest at this time.

"That's why parents have children -- to hand down their legacies, their belief systems, the way they want their children raised," Assembly member Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield, was quoted by Reuters as saying.

I'm going to be attending a wedding in Gettysburg next month (first time I've set foot in my home state in 15+ years) and will see some friends who are Penn State alumni that I haven't seen in ages.  I'm interested in hearing their takes on all this, both from Penn Staters living in PA and those living elsewhere.  I have such an outside view of things way out here.

There seems to be a lot of denial up there.

I hope karma behaves well, so this kid doesn't get molested before s/he grows up.

On July 4th we celebrate the birthday of Jesus' Constitution and the Federalist Society, so this is a very BIG deal and on behalf of my ~330 US American colleagues, I'd like to personally thank you for the sentiment.

I'd now like to share with you a TRUE conversation held in my household after dinner on July 3rd:

Blader:  So, what are the plans for tomorrow?

Blader Jr: (hopefully) Yea Man!!!  BBQ and fireworks at the club!

Mrs Blader:  No.  We're just going to have a quiet meal at home.

Blader:  OK. I'll BBQ up some ribs

Blader Jr:  Yea man!!!

Mrs Blader:  No.  I'm making a salad.  We're just having salad.

Don't know if anybody has mentioned this yet, but he looks like he's on the wrong side of the ball

That was me doing the I want George Bush naked search.

I have a better explanation than you might first imagine.....

I read this and decided to perform an experiment. 

Frankly, I didn't observe any decrement in copulatory fitness whilst wearing crocs.  They may have made a funny squishy squeaky fappie sound, but it was pretty loud anyway sod I couldn't really tell if it was the crocs or something else.

that is SO sad strohson

They just wanted a Christian on the team to persecute.  Home game against the Lions should be interesting.  Expect to see a lot of thumbs going up and down and whatnot.  Carnage.

Don't you mean "Grand Marshal(l)"? 

I wouldn't know.  I've sworn all that off.

testicular surge, baby!!! gonna be hard to walk the fairways!!!!

Take away 21% of their scholarships for three years and also take away any championship titles, including wild card, conference, league and superbowl titles.  NO MORE BOWL GAMES for life!!!!
