Saturday Night Losers Edition…

People who read the Daily Kos will get the joke. It is Saturday Night and I am blogging.

Workout notes: 4 mile run; 9:27 mile 1, 9:00 mile 2, 8:44, 8:47 were the last two miles (17:33, even pausing for a couple of cars). I saw Bob running with his sweetie and another nice looking lady; that guy is a babe magnet.

Political notes A new friend (Gina) met me and we drove to Davenport, IA to campaign. The Obama campaign opened a field office at a strip mall; very plain inside with people phone banking, working on computers, etc.

We got our pitch and were dispatched to probably the most run down area I had ever been sent to. Lots of folks just didn’t answer; many were tired of the campaign and some just didn’t care. We did register some voters and got some mail in ballots out there, and yes, there were a few Obama supporters as well.

So it wasn’t all bad. Afterward, we had some nice stir fry and then enjoyed the drive home.

Then my wife was recovering from an incident where the washing machine hose burst and she lacked the strength to shut off the faucet and banged her head when she went to the basement to turn off the water supply.

Politics: are big states overrepresented by the Electoral College?

No. A common misconception is rebutted.

Hat tip to Statistical Modeling.

An amateur McCain attack ad:

McCain calls Palin an “energy expert”. Really?
