Cancel out your neighbor
This was sent to me by my North Carolina brother, and it was obviously produced for that audience, with a reference to North Carolina being “in play.” But even if, like Tennessee, the polls and pundits have already projected your state’s turnout in the presidential race, there are plenty of other races on the ballot where your vote makes a difference.
The clip is also pretty darn funny:

Journalists and advocacy
I posted earlier about why I don’t feel, as a journalist, that it’s right for me to voice my candidate preference.
Here’s another journalist who agrees with me.
Thanks to my California brother for the link.

Frustration
It’s frustrating sometimes to be a journalist. I have always tried not to wear my political heart on my sleeve because it would compromise things that I cover. And yet this time, as a voter, I really wish I could talk about for whom I am voting, and why. I can’t, but I wish I could.
(Actually, I should say for whom I have already voted. I’m at the courthouse so often that it only makes sense for me to early vote.)

Say goodnight, Gracie
I already knew that Stephen Colbert was one in a long line of comedians who have mounted tongue-in-cheek presidential campaigns, from Pat Paulsen to Dave Barry. But I’m embarrassed to say I never knew about this one, which I found out about from Big Orange Michael over at Music City Bloggers. Be sure and read the official campaign book, which is priceless.

His hat’s in the ring
Of all the nights to fall asleep on the couch in front of the TV. I saw Stephen Colbert’s appearance on “The Daily Show,” but missed the big announcement on Colbert’s own show a few minutes later. (Clip contains a bleeped and punctuation-obscured Bad Word.)
Here, in case you missed it, is a very funny guest column Colbert had written for Maureen Dowd a few days earlier, hinting at his possible decision.
