Whelp, I guess I'll just order a nice BBQ dinner from the place down the street.

They make an amazing Mac and Cheese (Yes, I am also getting meat. Brisket and rib-eye)

IT wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't so dead. I have almost nothing to do.

Oh man... six and a half hours left at work. I'm so not in the mood for that.

I wouldn't mind a unity government- but I don't want Bibi in it.

Good news: Blue and White is the largest party in this year's government.

Bad News: Right-Wing parties are banding together to try and force a "unity" government.

Good News: Otzma Yehudit is out of the race without any real chance to pass the electoral threshold.

Last thing Israel needs is a racist Jewish supremacist party in the Kinesset.

The Arab parties are considering backing Gantz to keep Bibi out of office.

They wouldn't join the coalition (It be political suicide for both groups.) but they might - FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME - Indicate a preference in who gets the mandate.

That will be HUGE for Gantz/Blue and White and more or less guarantee that they get first chance to try and make a coalition.

Election results are coming in.

Blue and White are in a dead heat with The Likud, with Blue and White having one more seat than Likud.

That's with approx 90% of the votes being counted @ 1pm local time (About 4.5 hours ago as of this toot.)

It's really, really close. Edge of my seat.

Gotta kick Bibi to the curb to protect Israeli democracy.

I feel like I've had too much coffee this morning to be this sleepy.
