BACK FROM THE BALLOT BOX

I was completely consumed with the election, as you might have noticed. But I'm back now. I'll be catching up and filing some items that are older than usual, though the immediately following one is wayyyy older. Thank you for your patience.

Let's all note one thing, though, before we move on: John Kerry's pathetic pandering to Ohio voters by shooting a goose while dressed up as a hunter did not succeed in swinging that state to him. He could've stayed home that day with the same electoral result, and the goose would still be alive.
