I’m gong to go way out on a limb here, but I say if McCain wins New York, it’s all over. Also, I can’t wait for tonight, but more than that, I can’t wait for tomorrow. And next week. And any time where I can read the ol’ internet and not read exclusively about the […]
Polls, bahblahblah, polls. One thing I’ve been curious about is what states will have the widest margins of victory for either candidate. I kept going back and forth between New York and Illinois, which had been going back and forth for biggest Obama margin. What I never checked, however, was Hawaii. While Illinois and New […]
Via Drudge, the NY Post publishes a guide for watching tomorrow’s events here.
So whenever I read something, when I get to the final fifth or so, I think something along the lines of “Man, this has been a positive experience. I should jot down some notes about this book.” And then I finish the book and that’s that. Books that have fallen victim to this curse recently […]
Since I actually thought about taxes the other day, I’ve happened across a fair amount of articles that talk about taxes, especially graduated income taxes, mostly framed around McCain calling Obama a socialist. Just a few things. First, from Slate, quoting Teddy Roosevelt: We grudge no man a fortune in civil life if it is […]

Chicago Tribune: Many Americans say […]
So Saturday I did my second bit of volunteering for Obama, the first being phone bank work during the primary. Along with about 40 or so other Chicagoans, I drove out to Hamond, IN to knock on doors. I’ve never really been that interested in the sort of face-to-face interactions with people, especially not talking […]
So I think this afternoon I am going to quickly spit out a handful of posts on things I’ve been thinking about. This first one is regarding Jury Duty. For the second time in my ENTIRE life, I was called for jury duty this past Friday. Like last time I was called, in Boston, Iwas […]
I’ve been thinking this morning about, shockingly enough, the election. I’ve got some sketches of an idea that I wanted to write down, thinking maybe I could flesh them out as I wrote, but most likely they won’t get sketched out and simply won’t make any sense. People have talked about how its odd that […]
