Tuesday Loometh Large

How to find your polling place. Or, if you've just moved, are on vacation and forgot to arrange for an absentee, or have other difficulties, you can vote provisional ballots at almost any polling place.

I've signed up through AmericaVotes.org to call voters in Oregon, a major battleground state, to get Democratic voters to the polls on Tuesday. If you live closer to a battleground border, they're also looking for volunteers to drive out to those states and help get out the liberal vote. Go sign up; even if your own state's electoral vote is more or less a sure thing, you can make a difference where it counts.

The New Yorker has endorsed Kerry. For the first time in 84 years, one of the most thoughtful and well-researched magazines in the country has declared a preference - a strong preference - for one candidate. I am proud to be a subscriber, goddamnit. Best. Editorial. Ever. A succinct and damning analysis of the failures and prevarications of the Bush Jr. administration.

I firmly believe that John Kerry will be a good president, and that he will help lead our fair country out of this embarrassing pit of debt, lies, and international condemnation into which the Shrub has dug us. Even if you don't care about the presidential election, do it for those of us who are wholly invested in it.

Make me happy: vote for Kerry.
