DO NOT FORGET! The Mercury is doing a full court press tonight on the election, and live blogging every goddamn bit of it, whether you like it or not. We’ll be covering all the major candidates’ parties (including visiting Kyle Burris who’ll be playing videogames in his basement), eating and insulting everyone’s food, and we’ll also be updating you with all the latest returns. IT ALL STARTS AT 7 PM TONIGHT, so join us for the fun!

AND! Since I’m stuck here at command control, I figured I might as well go ahead and live blog tonight’s penultimate episode of AMERICAN IDOL, in which the final two contestants (creepy Mormon David Archuleta and weepy bartender David Cook) go head to head with three songs… and I’ll be making cruel fun of every one! That starts at 8 pm, so don’t miss it, right here at Blogtown!

One of these retarded people will be your next American Idol. WORSHIP THEM!!!
