After asking a similar question on this channel a few days ago, I think we’re going to watch the coverage on NBC, unless I find something better on YouTube.

Cue all the comments about the final results not being available tomorrow night…

The term “Yank” is incredibly loaded with all kinds of stereotypes the world over, but it has a very different meaning in the US.

“I object to the term ‘loud-mouth American’. It’s a tautology.” --Magda S. in Fast Forward (maybe?)

Before it gets cold, turn off your outdoor spigots from the inside. If you have ducted air, change the filter every few months. If you have a furnace or boiler, be sure to have a carbon monoxide detector in addition to regular smoke detectors.

Everyone else has covered the important stuff, so I’ll just recommend that, especially if you have kids, you identify the local sledding hill and get a sled, snow pants, warm coat, snow boots, gloves and hat. If you’ve gotta live in it, make sure you enjoy it when it comes!

What does election coverage offer that is insightful and useful?

Doesn’t look random. There’s definitely a pattern!

No, thank you.

“It’s all about the big, 'bout the big snow shovel.”

Whether mandatory voting is bad or not, certainly it’s way better than the American situation, where one particular party’s strategy to win elections is to discourage and actively prevent people from voting. In Australia, every political party seeks to win by collecting votes.

Wow, I think you win this game. Sorry to hear all that. Thank you for what you and your family are going through for this poor girl, her mother, and us all.

There’s no rule that says a dog can’t be a commentator.
