Warm, soft, cinnamony bread with little pieces of mushed bananas in it. Genius.

Boy, Iowa is quite the horse race. Kerry might still take it, and then he’ll only lose by fifty electoral votes. So at least his feelings won’t be hurt.

But… the Redskins lost! And Nickelodeon’s online poll gave it to Kerry! Nickelodeon has been right ever since they started the poll! That’s right, they made a correct 50-50 guess all four times!

They forgot about the halloween masks, though. Bush’s halloween mask way outsold Kerry’s, though I imagine Kerry’s was vastly spookier.

The one thing that drives me battiest about campaign season is those Magic-8-Ball, superstitious, bulls*** predictors that get run as human interest stories at five till the hour every night on CNN. They were doing it for the World Series too: “No team in the history of baseball has ever lost three games, won one on a Thursday, and played the fifth in a Midwestern state without winning the series before six more weeks of winter.” As if the performance of the 1938 Detroit Tigers has some cosmic impact on Albert Pujols’ swing.

I went off on a rant about this in an e-mail to some people during the Sox vs. Yankees, but most of them were polite enough to ignore me. I don’t really follow the baseball.

I can’t believe they killed off Leo on The West Wing. Even the imaginary government has gone to s***.
