Twas the night before Veepmas, when through Daily Kos
users were betting who Barack liked the most.

Outside, the already-stifling heat of the longest morning-after in my life hits me like a garbage truck. I walk the few blocks to the station, but there are no trains til around noon.

On the day before leaving for Netroots Nation, I voted for Jim Martin for U.S. Senate in the July 15 General Primary Election here in Georgia.  

At the polling place I was the only voter but there were a dozen or so poll workers.  After voting (on one of those damned Diebold machines) I asked if Id get a receipt.  In lieu of one I was given a cute little sticker with a graphic of a Georgia Peach with Im a Georgia Voter printed on it.  I laughed and said that makes me... - [Read more]
