CHEERY THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It's the moderate ones you have to watch out for, you know. One of the otherwise nice and (mostly) sane commenters at Fistful of Euros has this comment about tomorrow's election:
"Though I hope to the contrary, I believe the weeks following the US Presidential election will become a much bigger electoral and legal debacle than most commentators are willing to admit now. In the end, this election might well become a testament of the principal current American weakness - deep social and partisan divisions, if not outright hatred between the camps. American politics now appears to consist predominantly of conceptually empty labels - very soon even rituals of Patriotism may be exposed as nothing more than a band aid for a mentally and spiritually ailing."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
