@ScottyBonner We hosted early voting here in NY. Easily saw 15,000+ people through our doors. Voting is slow today, but the feeling is that the lower turnout is due to the high volume of early voting.
@ScottyBonner That's what I said about the Tea Party. But there always seems to be some weird movement waiting in the wings, ready to capture a huge swath of the population again.

1986, cover story of Spy's first issue, "The 10 Most Embarrassing New Yorkers." His quote about why he should handle nuclear arms negotiations with the USSR: "It would take an hour and a half to learn everything there is to learn about missiles. I think I know most of it anyway."
Never ceases to amaze me how many folks who’ve heard RATM are in Paul Ryan mode, having literally ZERO understanding of anything that band was about and even less understanding where any of us might stand on contemporary issues. Recently was talking to a couple at a restaurant who were big fans of “Killing In The Name”. The nice lady said, “I love that song. It helped me rage against my parents and later against the jab!” I said, “Ma’am that song is about racist cops who often behave like the Ku Klux Klan in service of historical white supremacy and are boot licking lackeys and thugs of the racist capitalist ruling class.” She sat there chewing and blinking, chewing and blinking.
