Apologies--I've lost track of who alerted me to this...

I read this this weekend. I thought it was a brilliant piece and I realized that we (as a societal whole) are both brilliantly stupid and stupidly brilliant. We turn out in droves for American Idol, yet not for our elected officials. Amazing.

I'm very much looking forward to his book.

Given how much of a clue he has, it's even more and more amazing to me that he could have knuckled under like he did in 2000. Well, I wasn't any more prescient than he was, then, so I am in no position to cast blame. I can't wait to read his book.

Also, congratulations on the new place!

Thanks! I took two hours this morning and got almost all of the major furniture reorganizing done (one more piece to move based on consultation with N). Now I can concentrate on getting the books unpacked and shelved, after which we will have actual spacious apartment back.

I will need to get a small storage space for some of my gaming stuff, though. We needed a three-bedroom, and we got a roomy two-bedroom.
