This young hawk has made the area behind our house its territory, much to the irritation of the resident mockingbird.

Occasionally, the mockingbird will enlist some other smaller birds to mob the hawk but clearly doesn’t mind going one on one.

The hawk finally flew off, with the mockingbird nipping at its tail.

In the current Polltracker at TPM, the electoral College Tally lists Obama at 317 and Romney at 191. When you compute the percentages you get the headline.

If Romney were to get all the states that are not yet indicated to be either Obama or Romney states, the percentages will be Obama 59.2 and Romney 40.8. And that my friends is in fact a landslide. And when Obama wins we need to point out that the win is basically 60/40 (3 out of 5) not nearly the near tie that the media wants to present.

Of course we need to get out the vote, stop voter suppression, take the House, keep the Senate etc. Just remember that if the above holds it will be a massive victory and dare i say it, a Mandate for Democrats to take charge of the Hope and Change movement once again.

Breaking News. In the footsteps of Gallagher I selling his act to Gallagher II, Triumph the Insult Dog has just announced a major lawsuit against Donald Trump for stealing his act and trading on Triumph's good name.

According to Triumph, "My poop is too good for him". And that is a quote. Further "I would not even sniff that thing that is on top of his head, squashed roadkill is at least American made."

And now Trump has said mother*&!$ers in a public venue. "Take it from me, that man has no class" was Triumph's response on hearing of Trump's outburst.

"I cannot be with you because of all the nasty divorce proceedings with NBC, but I want you to do me a favor. Whenever, and whereever you see the Insult Candidate, you go up to him and you tell him"You're Fired, you poop".

It is often said that continuing to do the same thing over and over without success is a definition. For at least 40 years activists have tried to petition for the widespread approval of marijuana use with too little success for the effort involved. Here is a plan to change the overall approach and only you can make it better.

Do you agree with the idea that not being enthused about voting means you would rather just not vote? For this and future elections the number that counts is how many voters are refusing to vote. Once you eliminate the not going to vote at all people, then you might get a clearer picture of how many actual voters will take part. And despite all the polls and articles about enthusiasm, lack of enthusiasm and its importance we do not know this percentage, nor do we have any useful information on on it.
