Florida Says No

Now that Florida has ruled out a re-vote, I wonder what Michigan will do...in any event, this is probably good news for Obama. Even if Michigan goes I'm not entirely sure it's in the bag for Clinton--sure, it's like Ohio, but it's got a bunch more Black people in it, and the polls I've seen from the state have been favorable to Obama. He's generally done okay in the Midwest, too, Ohio notwithstanding.

Problem: I have lots of opinions on politics and culture that I need to vent. If I do not do this I will wind up muttering to myself, and that's only like one or two steps away from being a hobo. Solution: I write two blogs. A political blog that has some evident sympathies (pro-Obama, mostly liberal though I dissent on some issues, like guns and trade) and a culture blog that does, well, cultural essays in a more long-form manner. My particular thing is taking overrated things (movies, mostly, but other things too) down a peg and putting underrated things up a peg. I'm sort of the court of last resort, and I tend to focus on more obscure cultural phenomena.
