Dems ahead in both the governor and the senate race. I don't know how I'm expected to get any work done today and tomorrow (I've taken Wed as a vacation day).

(never cared for the taste of anything other than tequila and I only drink that occasionally). I feel a bit sorry for my new kittens who have never seen me through an election (or a playoff game). I'll be pacing, screaming, praying, on the phone with 2 people at the same time. Election nights have always been crazy in my house and this one is so important.

In the video, Clapton jumped behind racist Tory Member of Parliament Enoch Powell and declared that Britain must stop itself from becoming a “black colony”:

“I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country,” Clapton declared. “Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch’s our man. I think Enoch’s right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I’m into racism. It’s much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking … don’t belong here, we don’t want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don’t want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don’t want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country. What is happening to us, for fuck’s sake?”
