Headline from The New York Sun, June 4, 2004: "Obesity Could Be More Widespread Than Thought"

Bertrand Russell: "Many people would sooner die than think. In fact they do."

From NPR yesterday morning: Morning Edition, September 27, 2004:

"NPR's Renee Montagne talks to NPR's Cokie Roberts about the closing gap in the latest poll numbers between President Bush and Sen. John Kerry. Roberts explores why President Bush's numbers seem to be slipping and what the polls show in the all-important battleground states."

OK, folks, this is it. The campaign begins on Oct. 1.

Ugh, canvassing. Ugh. Go you. And the Ephesians quote is so perfect! To say nothing of the Shire. I wish I was feeling more righteous and less sad--I just feel sort of melancholy about it, even if we win... america's in a bad, bad way...
