My friend Darrel just told me "Noone has ever lost an election by underestimating the intelligence of the american public."
I think the KISS principle was apparently put to good use by a lot of voters on Tuesday. Find one thing that you care about (Abortion, killing arabs, not electing tall people or those who have alien wives) and vote based on that.

No, not an Opie and Anthony reference, just an exclamation of utter disbelief.
This weekend, my neighbor and I had a few words as she was trying to convince me to support Bush. She wanted me to watch some DVD about Moore's film, as if that is really the reason I wouldn't support Bush. When I read articles like this, I can't figure out how people like her feel more secure.

Very Sad News, Soft Cell Singer Critical; I considered it a badge of honor that we managed to keep "Tainted Love" on the playlist of the jukebox at Hokie House for the entirety of my college career. And when I returned less than a year later to visit, I found it was gone. My remaining friends in Blacksburg were severely berated for that lapse.

This story (Mother's sign reads: 'President Bush You Killed My Son') is really scary. Is there a better word than stormtroopers for this? You'd half expect them to wear brown shirts. Be afraid; be very afraid.

Look under Pepper Jelly. I was a little disappointed at third place, but in retrospect I think I went too light on the habaneros.
However, the fact that my peach-habanero jam didn't place is inexplicable. It was perfect.

This article on baseball in Washington is so right on the money I almost think I wrote it.
Excepting, of course I never went to see the orioles play until well into my 20's, and I can still count the games on about three fingers. (Hey, twice the tickets were free, once in a suite.)
