  3. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 12:46 pm:

    A toast, Rich Miller, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.

    “So far it appears I haven’t lost yet”

    [In case you were wondering, I reset the site’s clock during the lunch hour, so comments are appearing out of order.]

    After tomorrow you can reach me at Otto Engineering.


  7. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 12:50 pm:

    Sorry, rich, I guess I setn the same one twice during your reset … and it isnt even worth of it being up there once, let alone twice!


  8. - Ivory-billed Woodpecker - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 12:52 pm:

    For oft, when on my couch I lie
    In vacant or in pensive mood,
    They flash upon that inward eye
    Which is the bliss of solitude;
    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils.


  9. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 12:52 pm:

    “They will be coming here for me soon. Tell them … tell them … it was only business …will ya? …It was just … business.”


  10. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 12:56 pm:

    While sitting, swinging his feet, contemplating his future, Joe Walsh muttered this poem, and I thought it was very telling;

    “It’s easy to grin,
    When the votes come in,
    And you got Melissa Bean beat,

    But the Man worthwhile,
    Is the man who can smile,
    When his campaign is close to defeat.”

    Yikes!


  11. - Carl Nyberg - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 12:56 pm:

    Almost blue…
    Almost doing things we used to do…

    Almost blue
    Flirting with this disaster became me
    It named me as the fool who only aimed to be

    Almost blue…
    Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few…


  12. - RNUG - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 12:58 pm:

    A moment of silence, please, while I determine who I’m going to channel …

  15. - CircularFiringSquad - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:02 pm:

    CaribouBarbie just endorsed ROmney
    What is the 3rd bit of bad news?

    “Congressman Walsh, do you think the child support issue, something you could have stopped, hurt in the long run?”

    My Victry party will last until four
    It’s tough to leave when you can’t find the door

  26. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:14 pm:

    (Very quietly, to himself …)

    “Well I’m gonna to go then! And I don’t need any of this. I don’t need this stuff, and I don’t need you voters. I don’t need anything. Except this table I am sitting on.

    And that’s the only thing I need is this table. I don’t need this flag or this poll sheet. Just this table… And this campaign button and this table and that’s all I need… And this remote control. - The table, the campaign button, and the remote control, and that’s all I need… And these matches. - The table, and these matches, and the remote control, and the campaign button… And this lamp. - The table, this campaign button, and the remote control, and the lamp, and that’s all *I* need. And that’s *all* I need too. I don’t need one other thing, not one… I need this. - The campaign button, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches for sure. Well what are you looking at? What do you think I’m some kind of a Crazy Congressman or something! - And this. That’s all I need.

    [walking outside]

    The table, the remote control, the campaign button, and this magazine, and the chair.

    [outside now] And I don’t need one other thing, except my dog.

    [Dog growls at him]

    I don’t need my dog”

  31. - IrishPirate - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:24 pm:

    “Thought Cloud” above Joe’s head.

    He’s gotta be pleased with that! The crowd is just on its feet here. He’s a Cinderella boy. Tears in his eyes, I guess, as he lines up this last shot. He’s got about 195 yards left, and he’s got a, looks like he’s got about an 8-iron. This crowd has gone deadly silent… Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now about to become the Masters champion. [swings, pulverizes yet another flower] It looks like a mirac- it’s in the hole! It’s in the hole!


  32. - Downstater - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:25 pm:

    And Ms Duckworth was such a bad candidate.

    A pensive Joe Walsh wonders whether Fox News has a dress code.


  35. - in the know - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:27 pm:

    my mommy said I have to sit here for 2 more minutes before I can get out of time out.


  36. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:28 pm:

    “Actually … (Walsh sits, slumps) …sorry everyone … (sigh) …I don’y really have anything more to say …”


  37. - Newsclown - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:28 pm:

    For a limited run, Joe Walsh in his stunning, one-man version of “Waiting for Godot”. I laughed, I cried: it was much better than CATS.

    Sorry folks. I’m all out of yell.


  39. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:29 pm:

    Well, I guess it’s the University of Illinois …(sigh)

    “Mr. Walsh, you may want to sit for this …I have the numbers for the 1st reporting precints, and you are down at a 2 to 1 clip … your yard signs have been taken down from most polling places, and ther is a rumor the few GOP precinct captains have you off their palm cards. We tried call the RNCC and they said they will get back to you … that was 3 hours ago…National Fox News has decided to ask another GOP congressman comment on Election Results … and finally … your car was double-parked and you got a ticket … you OK Joe … want some coffee … maybe an herbal tea?”

  51. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:37 pm:

    “Tammy Duckworth is taking the podium. This wiil be the first words she will speak as Congressman-Elect. The Crowd is going crazy as she signals ‘victory’ with her fingers … this must be a tough time for Joe Walsh. It is reported Congressman Walsh congratualted Ms. Duckworth, and promised a smooth transition… It must be a lonely feeling for Joe Walsh …”


  52. - OneMan - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:38 pm:

    As he looked at the floor and sighed he thought…

    I can see it now. “Morning Joe”. Genius, pure genius.”


  55. - Skeeter - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:39 pm:

    With the election lost, Walsh gets back to his main love, i.e. meeting women and not paying his bills.


  56. - Ready To Get Out - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:39 pm:

    Uh Joe, if I’m the only one who’s going to show up, can I go home now?

    Hank Williams said it best.
    Hear the lonesome whiperwill
    He sounds to blue to fly
    The midnight train is whining low
    I’m so lonesome I could cry

    Did you ever see a robin weep
    When leaves begin to cry
    That menas he’s lost the will to live
    I’m so lonesome I could cry

    Your 15 minutes of fame is over.

  60. - Willie Stark - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:40 pm:

    Like Circular Firing Squad’s best, but here’s my crack:

    A glum, defeated Joe Walsh, cheered only slightly as the first to receive a 2014 Schock for Governor field staff button-down, is consoled by a distraught Fran Eaton, already busy at work composing in her mind an IR post about who has betrayed this righteous embodiment of strong family values.


  61. - Rich Miller - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:41 pm:

    Generally, Method acting combines the actor’s careful consideration of the character’s psychological motives and personal identification with the character, possibly including a reproduction of the character’s emotional state by recalling emotions or sensations from the actor’s own life.

    Well they are not going to have Joe Walsh to kick around anymore…


  64. - Skeeter - Monday, Nov 5, 12 @ 1:43 pm:

    Cong. Walsh, realizing that after he loses he is going to have to pay for his own health insurance and thinking that all the effort he put into destroying HCR is sure going to bite him if Romney wins.

    Walsh - [takes large gasp of air]

    Lone audience member - “Is he holding his breath now?”

    Walsh staffer - “Yeah, that’s a new one. That’s all him…heh. Crazy Joe, kind of a wild card.”

    Lone audience member - “Ok, well, mind if I just stick around and see how this turns out?”
