I'll be glad when silly season ends in, oh, about a few hours. Weeks of robocalls were bad enough -- then earlier tonight I got a call from a real (barely) breathing person who urged me to vote for his candidate. I told him he was probably using the wrong phone list. But the poor kid pressed on, making the mistake of telling me that his candidate would "create jobs" in Ohio. I asked for an explanation of how a politician would create jobs. He responded with stammers and script fragments. He sounded like a college kid who probably never had a real job (or, needless to say, created a job) so I went easy on him. (Well, not that easy -- the rhetoric is so tiresome. And the fact that so many people slurp it up is downright discouraging.)

Oh well, I guess there's one born every minute. Perhaps Simms would like to weigh in on this matter?

Other than that, we had a wicked ice-storm around here today. The two-minute drive to the school to get Da Chimpz from school this afternoon was crazy-treacherous. Wouldn't be surprised if school was canceled tomorrow.

Did anybody see the giant bunny?
