"We have a dream"
–Liberation, Paris A greener country? I think so. I was in the end right about almost everything (the popular vote was closer; McCain “socialist” bullshit plus racism). The Night’s Best and Lamest Best: The number of women in Congress. Runner up: New Mexico’s 100% democratic delegation, by hefty margins. Lamest: California passing Prop 8. Sad.…

The ‘rents are in town, causing trouble. School has just been getting done. Fun stuff.
