Why I Should Hide Until Election Day

Last night I had a sex dream about John Edwards. It was disturbing on a number of levels.

I have been suffering from a headache for the last 3 days. Period related? Perhaps. Sinus/allergy related? Probably. Election-induced? Highly Likely.

All this talk of lawyers, disenfranchisement, crack-for-votes, and general electoral mayhem leaves me anxious and angry. I'm from Louisiana. We have a history of political fraud issues. The level of anxiety about this election that I feel is far beyond anything I might have felt when I had to choose between David Duke and Edwin Edwards in a gubenatorial race.

I like George Will, and I like what he had to say about "disenfranchisement." So that's where I'll leave this.
