A very political breakfast
Monday, November 3rd, 2008
Thanks to a Canadian CNN user, I found this brunch menu. You can take your eggs from the left or right. If Obama fits your tastes, enjoy Eggs Obama, which the restaurant describes as: “An omelette ‘we can believe in’ with a redistributed wealth of arugula, ricotta, and a liberal amount of elitist bacon, along [...]
More ways the election could end up in a 269 tie
Monday, November 3rd, 2008
Yes, a 269-269 tie is extremely unlikely by all accounts, still it’s interesting to look at the various ways that it could end up in such a situation. It’s actually been an issue that has been discussed in 2000 and 2004. FiveThirtyEight.com has an article from May discussing the possibilities, but lets look at a [...]

Willo's Bookmarks: 10.22.08
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008
I’ve finally settled on a title for these things, so they will always appear as such. John McCain is letting you make your own Joe the Plumber signs that read “I’m ____ the ____. DON’T TAX ME FOR WORKING SO HARD.” Note that anything you submit will probably get rejected. I’m still waiting to see [...]
