Joining in on the blue-state-liberal two-minute hate down Whetstone way , I just wanted to point out that, on Odyssey on Friday, a woman called in to ask some pollsters if the "problem" with the election was that there was some clear education gap between Bush voters and Kerry voters. The baffled pollsters said that wasn't true at all, but there was a richness gap -- rich people vote Republican.
So maybe sitting around for four years talking about how retarded people who vote for Bush are, it might be better to look at that kind of class inequity stuff and consider that maybe there's a Democratic mandate there. Take a good theory and think about it, silly-ass up-north motherfuckers.

Dear Joe Buck,
Here are some terms that are analogous with "cling to," which is the only term you know how to put in the sentence "The [team] are [term] to a one-run lead." You're welcome.
Cleave to
Hew to
Adhere to
Glom onto
Affix oneself to
Protecting
Defending
Constructing a bulwark against attacks on
Shoring up
Socking away
Hiding in a small bush in the front yard like degenerate teenagers might a six-pack of beer from their parents
Love,
Sam
Writing criticism is hard.

Population rundown of the James Ellroy reading I went to last night:
Women -- 7
Men -- 45
Children -- 5 until Ellroy called us all fuckos, at which point we went down to 2
Hipsters -- 8
Weird, fake hipsters (i.e., guys in "funny" Hawaiian shirts, guys who said "I dig")-- 12
Women dressed like the Black Dahlia -- 1
Guys who suggested recent true crimes for Ellroy to write novels about -- 2
People with maybe-helpful advice for Ellroy on the whole solving-the-fifty-year-old-murder-of-his-mom thing -- 1
Guys in suits -- 2
Guys with bolo ties -- 1
People who wanted to know about various movie adaptations of various James Ellroy novels in various stages of development -- 10,000,000 (est.)
People who wanted to know if Ellroy would write a book about Bill Clinton -- 3-4
Guys who tried to ask a question every ten seconds about increasingly minute aspects of Ellroy's process, all the while turning redder and redder in the face -- 1
Guys who asked a lot of questions, beginning all of them with the phrase "Back to structure," while not asking any questions that had anything to do with structure -- 1
Guys who asked pretentious questions about redemption in Ellroy's fiction, mostly as a means of shutting up the red-faced guy for ten fucking seconds -- 1 (me)
