On Tuesday when the election results were in, Obama won. The earth didn’t move. No voices rang from the heavens singing “Glory Hallelujah” or “Holy Shit, Ya’ll Done Messed Up” The lame didn’t walk. The blind didn’t see. The seas didn’t part. The moon didn’t [...]

Scratch that: Williams is edging past Faulk… but not by much.
The Yager/Ruppe race looks close as well. Tim Barnes is stomping Kurita so far – and over in District 26, Camp isn’t doing so great. Maybe folks there liked the cow.

This morning I stopped at the local beer joint to grab a cup of coffee. (I know it sounds funny, but the beer joint is one of the few places in town brewing JFG. Consequently, they get just as many of the local coffee drinkers as they do alcoholics.)
