I should’ve held this post off until six.

If you’re out there in the CA-50th, don’t forget to vote for Francine Busby in the special election today. True to form, the Republicans and their minions in the media are making a big deal about a rather innocous statement from Busby, saying anybody was welcome to come and help out on her campaign. This was twisted into her saying that illegal aliens can vote. As long as there’s somebody to hate out there (whether it’s the bands of marauding mexicans, ruining the sanctity of our elections, or the parades of gays, ruining the sanctity of our marriages), the Republicans will stir up the basest of their base.

Hey, watch out for leaning ladders, black cats, and sidewalk cracks out there today folks. 60 to go.
