First, tomorrow is Veteran's Day, and I salute any readers who are veterans. Normally, I'd call my stepfather, too, but he died in 2006, so that routine is a thing of the past. But I still think of him on these days (Memorial Day, Veteran's Day/Remembrance Day). He flew Spitfires in WWII, and received the Distinguished Flying Cross while in the RAF. And while he served courageously, he was ever after opposed to warfare.

On to the things I wanted to share today. First is a wonderful article by Bill Ayres, which should be recommended reading for everyone who *thinks*, and second is a rather amusing look back at the stupidest stories of the campaign. Although how they narrowed it down to 10 is beyond me.
