Buying/Selling - 11/4/2009

Buying: Red Alert for the iPhone. I spent the entirety of undergrad and graduate school playing this game in the middle of the night against anti-American northern Europeans when I should have been studying. Now I have it in my pocket at all times, and it even caused me to dust off my old RA2 discs. They still have online games by the way, which I may have to waste my weekend on. Good times. Productivity be damned. My RA2 online handle is GrabTommy if any of you are as nerdy as me.
Selling: Conservative explanations for their devastating loss in NY-23. "We haven't lost, we've only postponed the election until next year" is not an explanation when you've lost a Republican seat to a Democrat for the first time in 130 years. I hope to high hell the crazies on the right try this strategy, the cut off your nose to spite your face strategy, next year all over the country. These tea baggers basically spend as much time attacking the mainstream Republican as they do the Democrat. Splitting your vote is the hallmark of every successful political party...right?
