    Thank fuck I know how to close a browser window within nano-seconds anytime something that annoying and time-wasting appears.

    Actually, it’s a Tom Waits song called Way Down in the Hole off the album Frank’s Wild Years. The Wire simply appropriated it for their theme song.

    Haha, looks like that backfired.

    Anyone have long lines today? I haven’t voted yet, but when my gf went this morning she had to wait for like an hour and a half.

    Maybe my fellow M.I.A. fans just haven’t gotten out of bed yet.

    I’ve gotten out of bed! I’ve even been stickered about Prop 8! That song rolls right along, and I’ve enjoyed it twice now.

    Who’s a terrorist?
