History is made every day.

Nov 5: in Britain today, we burn effigies of Guy Fawkes as continuing humiliation for his failure to blow up Parliament.

--Warren Ellis

Happy Guy Fawkes day, happy birthdays to several of you, and wow, that is one weird Electoral College result. Is that the strongest showing I've lived through? Strange days indeed.

Oh and expect California to go on strike. I'm not much of a union supporter, but I'll do what I can not to cross that picket line... ETA:Avenue Q
