You’ll notice the pupation of a blogroll to the lower right.  This is by no means final; Colin whipped up the module, and I threw in a few off the top of my head willy-nilly in no particular order.  I’ve certainly forgotten people and so on, and apologies etc., but more soon.  It looks like I can get this pretty organized, and so it might become the main links page for the site.

In a stunning upset, “Hard Work” has won.  Analysts believe that the Maximum Hostility vote was split between the Drunk-Driving and Beer-Buying factions.

Assuming Bush wasn’t serving a cocaine sentence at Project PULL, what was he doing? “Hard work” 302 35.2% A drunk-driving sentence 273 31.8% Helping underage youth by being old enough to buy beer 252 29.3% Fulfilling his Vietnam commitment by protecting America from Houston teenagers 32 3.7% Number of Voters :  859 First Vote :  Sunday, 24 October 2004 00:03 Last Vote :  Sunday, 24 October 2004 23:16

For those of you addicted to Electoral-Vote.com, here’s another fun place to visit, if only for the parlor-game amusement of seeing a mathematical model change every hour, on the hour.

According to this site’s analysis, Bush is in something approaching free-fall.  Kinda cool to watch, actually.  How valid it is… we’ll find that out soon enough.

You’ve probably noticed that things are still changing around here almost every day.  Hell, I’m surprised myself almost every time I login.  Neat.

The little mail symbols in the upper right corner now make it super-easy to email stories here to friends.  That was Colin’s doing.  He also whipped up our Comment utility, which we’re still refining a bit.  There’s a good chance Comments will become a registered-user thing, as it is on most blogs of any size.  I’ve managed to cobble together the Blog Index and Previous Polls now available at left.  If those work, hurrah.

We’ll have a Photo Gallery up before long, plus I’m dying to get some video and audio material up — sillier bits from various TV appearances, clips from live shows, some radio commentaries, and even some of my music (something I’ve always been terribly shy to share with people for some reason, but seem to be almost capable of lately) one of these days. 

So thanks for your early interest in this work-in-forever-progress.  We’ll try to keep it worth your time.

Tranq Dart voters are proclaiming victory, but Locked Vaulters are complaining about voter intimidation and unclear ballots.  This one might have to be decided by the courts, which unfortunately are packed with Tranq Dart loyalists…
