Between mural-gate, the Democrat v. Republican battle this morning, and Fox doubling-down on the Black Panther story, we really couldn’t have asked for anything different.

With all of the hubbub about Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, it’s understandable that some of the 3rd Party Candidates fall through the cracks. For example, we haven’t mentioned the Jill Stein/Cheri Honkala Green Party ticket since Honaka was announced at Stein’s running mate. Well, we did once, when Stein and Honkala were arrested for [...]

Spotted at my polling place in Kensington: Oh, Lordy. As they say. By the way, folks, keep those cameraphones ready at your polling places today, and do feel free to share what you see with us.
