So let’s be honest…

Does anyone really feel like talking about books this morning?

I’m not sure why I feel so down right now. Oh yeah, I do: it’s because it would have been nice to have a definitive result on the US election by 9 AM this morning. Instead it’ll drag on, and on, and on some more, before the fighting gets so bad that a court of law’s going to decide this one all over again.

Anyway, I hope to pull myself out of it later today, but we’ll see.

UPDATE: Jim Winter provides the view from what may currently be the most hated state in the union.

FURTHER UPDATE: So Kerry concedes, yee ha. At least it’s over now. Meanwhile, check for a brand-spanking new essay at 3 PM.
