My young voter got a GOTV postcard from Florida, IMHO evidence of the poor data behind the effort (sorry, enthusiastic postcard author). To this household? And to an out-of-state college student?
That said: let’s vote, people! Democracy needs you!

I finished reading Sodomy's Solicitations today, and I can't stop mulling over Fischel's arguments about a right to queerness. Plus now I've got a great idea for a lesson plan for next week.
