LIVEBLOGGING THE ELECTION

8.01- Obama has won the first 1% of Indiana. Big whoop. Only a turkey would live in Indiana.

8.03- McCain wants to cut taxes for decent hard-working Americans. How right the Vietnamese were to bayonet him!

8.04- I went to Vietnam for a holiday and not once did I get bayoneted. Not once. The secret? I didn’t go around dropping bombs on them.

8.05- If there’s one thing I can't stand it’s decent hard-working Americans.

8.06- Indecent slothful Americans I don't mind so much.

8.07- Wolf Blitzer is pointing at a pie chart.

8.09- Wolf Blitzer. Morton Kondrake. Why do Americans have these fucking idiotic names?

8.20- What time is Obama going to make his moving speech? Obviously I hope he wins, though I know he’s going to spend the next four years getting on my tits. Bush has been more disastrous than a plague of locusts, but at least he didn’t go around boring everyone to death.

8.22- Bush! I'd forgotten all about that tosser.

8.23- You could release 1,000 gang bangers from US jails, give each banger a wrecking ball and tell him that he had 8 years to do as much wrecking as he pleased, and between them they would still do less damage than Bush has done.

8.26- And yet, the damage he caused wasn’t infinite. A million bangers with wrecking balls would be more ruinous even than Bush. So the amount of damage, measured in wrecking ball years must be some number in between. In principle it ought to be possible to arrive at a precise figure, had I but world enough and time.

8.35- Bush still has a 20% approval rating. Who are all these people who approve of him? Who look at the dog's breakfast he has made of everything and think, yes, of this I approve? President Bush, I salute you!

8.51- CNN is calling it for Obama. The question is no longer, “Is America ready for its first black president?" It is, “Is America ready for the assassination of its first black president?" (got that from Jeremy Hardy on the News Quiz)

8.59- "Jonah Goldberg, in his role as television-raised idiot manchild of The Right, has been posting weird movie clips all day." I pass this on, for anyone who is interested.

10.42- Obama has lost Arkansas. There is now no way for him to win, unless he takes Maine.

10.48- I'm calling it for Ralph Nader.

10.54- Pretty convenient old grandma Obama croaking the night before the election, wouldn’t you say? Not that I necessarily believe that there was any foul play.

10.59- Heaven knows, I’m no pinko. People who steal toffees would be flogged in the public square if I were in charge. And yet I have always felt the most boiling hatred for the Republican party.

11.02- Ha ha. McCain lost. What an arsehole. I'd like to pelt the cantankerous old git with fruit.

11.20- Michelle Malkin: "Here’s my promise to you: As long as I can still publish a blog and speak my mind openly about the next denizen of the White House, I will."

Malkin will not be muzzled. That's a load off my mind.

1.17- End live blogging. Off to Bedfordshire.

QUICK QUIZ

Q. Which character in The Wire said, “I’m just a humble motherfucker with a big-ass dick?”

Nouriel Roubini, the professor who predicted the financial crisis in 2006, said the U.S. will suffer its worst recession in 40 years, causing the rally in the stock market to "sputter".
I had my first jujitsu class today, to prepare for a future of fighting for bread crusts and potato peelings. I can now defend myself against a wheezing mendicant who attacks me in slow motion and tries to grab my lapels.

I’m going to get more than my share of crusts. Vote Republican, by the way.

In a Lilliluptian act of malice, the Instapundit has posted a poll asking, “On a scale of insufferability, how much more insufferable will the Nobel make Paul Krugman?”

On a scale of pathetic that’s on a level with letting down Krugman’s bicycle tyres and running away sniggering, or shaving Krugman's cat.

That will show him!

NOBEL PRIZE FOR ECONOMICS

I really thought I was in with a chance this year, but they gave it to Krugman.

OK, so Krugman is better than I am at economics, but I have had more women than he has. I don’t suppose I have had as many women as Shaggy, the popular entertainer, but Shaggy knows dick-all about trade theory. That thought is a great comfort to me.

When the media rank Krugman, Shaggy and me according to our various abilities I always come second, be it knowledge of trade theory, the number of scrubbers we have had, ability at reggae singing or wrestling skills. I come second in every instance.



-"What are you going to do to cash in on your newfound fame?"
-"I'm going to Disneyland!"

STOCKS END LOWER AFTER HOUSE OKAYS PLAN

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

ECONOMIC FORECAST

Sooner or later they’ll pass their wretched bailout scheme and there will be a sucker rally for a while, then the market will start falling again, dozens of banks will go under, the dollar will hit parity with the Colombian peso, until eventually the last of the hedge fund managers is strangled by the guts of the last Republican. Then you should be able to pick up some nice recovery stocks, which should recover around the year 2080.

None of this affects me, of course, because I don’t have any money. I’m just going to point and laugh.
