I think I missed something along the way. Last I knew people were trying to "win his money" away from him on game shows.

Hope to see Wilco on December 6, although something has come up that, sadly, may change my plans.

I saw it on Sullivan's site, too, was surprised I didn't already know the song, and have already passed it on to some friends. I was saving it for here for tomorrow. On this election, way back in January I did a WaPo survey where I answered my answers to a myriad of issues, and the widget showed me which candidate I was closest, too. I liked that idea of having my ideas and goals pick my candidate, rather than me just going on my gut. That thing pegged my views as right in line with Obama's. Since then, I've come to think temperament matters almost as much as views on policy, and am glad I don't have to adjust my vote on that account either. You’ve preempted me on the Cohen song.

Conservative journalism I can actually tolerate. I come from a very liberal background, though I find myself drifting closer to the “Center” on certain issues. Even to the “Right” here and there. I’ve been watching Mr. Sullivan on the Sunday news programs for years, and think he’s an alright guy. By the way, the Leonard Cohen video he has posted for Nov. 3, entitled “A Song For Tuesday”, is perfect for today’s election. Have been reading Andrew Sullivan’s “The Daily Dish”, for some time.
