erika owens @erika_owens:
@jeffporten oh, good! Love to hear about the impact of reporting like that. It is very scary. After 2004, I have no hubris.
@erika_owens I’ve been feeling good thanks to Nate Silver, but right now I just want to eat 20 Xanax and curl up with hot cocoa.
Melody Kramer @mkramer:
People can’t wait 2+ hours to vote on work days. Today should be a national holiday.
@mkramer Or just stop holding it on frickin’ Tuesdays.
Good morning, Philadelphia. You’re supposed to be warmer than fucking Canada. Starbucks

Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
Who casts the first vote in America? Is there, like, a contest for that?
@GlennF There’s a town in NH. Want to call it Gobbler’s Knob, but that could be the Benadryl talking.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
Is there a slot machine bot?
@GlennF Hell, man, I could write one in AppleScript with the right Thunderbolt cable.
Jesse Spector @jessespector:
140 characters not enough to answer this. RT @kylevetrano: what’s wrong with CNN?
@jessespector @kylevetrano I’ll try: ratings whores who forgot that their original brand was journalistic integrity.

Greg Knauss @gknauss:
@GlennF Do you know how Obama is going to manage instituting sharia law while also promoting homosexuality? Alternate days or what?
@gknauss @GlennF Don’t forget he’s also a communist. It’s all done with a proletariat pool of communal genitals.

Off for a walk through Toronto. If I don’t tweet by morning, send a St. Bernard with coffee and Bailey’s.
Alex Kudera @kudera:
@jeffporten hey, enjoy Toronto; one thing i like about that place is the access to quality pho all over town.
@kudera on a walking tour and saw five places to try. Will have to come back.
Alex Abboud @alexabboud:
#Toronto tweeps, need a place I can work for the next few hours with free WiFi and close to U of T. Help?
@alexabboud I’m at Starbucks near Bloor, across from St. George station exit. Here for the same reason.
Alex Abboud @alexabboud:
@jeffporten wait. Were you at VT!? Did I not see you the whole weekend? I’ll head over & say hi. On Madison N of Bloor. Need to leave at 4.
@alexabboud When we sang Red & Blue, you must’ve missed me through all of the napkins. :-)
Martin Kennedy @mkyeg:
@jeffporten @alexabboud Sorry to have missed you at VT, Jeff. Had a great time. Seriously thinking of VP 100.
@mkyeg @alexabboud See you at VP. We’ll organize a caravan.
Amused that Canadian Starbucks wifi is 4x faster than American.
36 hours with no Internet and 6 oz of coffee. Trek through the desert completed. Starbucks
