Yesterday I caught up with comments after I returned from the doctor.  I could not sleep.  My mind is just racing with today\u2019s possibilities, good and bad.  My plan for the day is to get as much rest as I can, because I expect to be busy the next couple days just analyzing what happens today.<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From Christian Science Monitor<\/a>: <\/font>The Democratic National Committee has put up a slightly more useful polling locator they call Raise Your Vote<\/a>. This site still needs your address and zip code, but then displays your assigned polling station as well as the best route to get there from your home.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know where to vote, click the \u2018Raise Your Vote\u2019 link.<\/font><\/p>\n

From San Francisco Chronicle<\/a>: <\/font>As the fandom of Texas baseball fell numb Monday night, the Giants celebrated in the middle of Rangers Ballpark, alone in their ecstasy over San Francisco’s first-ever World Series title.<\/p>\n

Tuesday night I felt utter disgust, as the Rangers honored GW Bush.  After that, I loved seeing them get their butts kicked. \"Devil\"<\/font><\/p>\n

From Me: <\/font>Republican voting has been switched to Wednesday.  Republicans, do not go to the polls until then.<\/font><\/p>\n

Since Republicans are robo-calling into minority neighborhoods saying that to vote, they have to report to the polling places on Wednesday with their voter registration cards and proof of home ownership, I figure it\u2019s my turn.  I\u2019ve been honest in my commentary all year.  If Republicans get a million lies, I get one. \"Cat<\/font><\/p>\n
