Not quite as high profile as the one that made PPI and The Minion's paper their featured cover paper, but a good journal nonetheless. Besides, the fact that the high profile journal chose to feature The Minion's work on the cover makes me question their discernment.

Ah, the French collaborator! Congrats and thanks for letting us know the player involved!

Thanks, Ozzie! Actually, I was a bit surprised that you didn't guess it based on the name. My French collaborator's name is pretty darn French. :-D

I lived in a not-swing state once. There, we were bombarded with ads about the various Propositions, and the gubernatorial recall election with fifty-eleven people running including a washed up former child actor who peddled short-term loans on television commercials, the former major league baseball commissioner, a porn star, and the eventual winner: a body builder turned actor who had married into a political dynasty, but who belonged to the other political party. Sounds like a bad dream, doesn't it? Cue "Hotel California."

Ooo. ooo. I voted in that election! I will totally agree that CA ballots are crazy, but somehow I didn't feel bombarded with mailers, calls, or ads. And one thing I will give CA elections credit for is that I was able to put myself on the permanent absentee ballot list. So I got a ballot for every election and I could fill it out in the quiet of my house in front of my computer. I miss that. As far as I know, not possible in TX.

"North Carolina voting records show that you've voted. Thanks so much for casting your ballot early, and helping to move our country forward by participating in this critical election!

Now that you've voted, I'm wondering if you can help make sure as many North Carolinians as possible get to the polls.

. . .

P.S. -- Based on public information from the Secretary of State, we believe you voted early in North Carolina. We apologize if you have received this email in error."
