So here I am in Washington, taking a couple of PTO days, seeing the sights, just chilling, going to meet some friends on Wednesday. Just didn’t feel like driving or flying anywhere far, since I have to break the vacation up by hitting a meeting on Friday. I was interested to see if it would […]

No, really. My post title is the short line for a Washington Post "edistory" by Peter Baker Somehow, it seemed only fitting that at the moment of Al Gore’s triumph, George W.

Remember back to last Sunday, when Tom Freidman wrote Times columnists are not allowed to endorse candidates, but there’s no rule against saying who will not get my vote: I will not vote for any candidate running on 9/11.
