An Announcement

November 19, 2010 — Ron Chusid

There will be no more blog entries today. I have suspended myself indefinitely for having made contributions to Democratic candidates in accordance with MSNBC’s ethics rules.

Update: It has been ruled that contributions to Democratic candidates in Western Michigan were actually an exercise in futility and not serious contributions aimed at winning political office. The Democratic candidate for Congress lost by more than a 2:1 margin. (This is sort of like not getting a pass interference call when a ball is not catchable). Therefore my suspension will be lifted.

Made of Fact Of The Day Which Could Be True

November 19, 2010 — Ron Chusid

Barack Obama is attending the NATO summit in Lisbon, Portugal. Eighty-seven percent of Fox viewers believe that if he were to try to return home by traveling on a boat heading west from Lisbon he would fall off of the earth. (Most of the remaining viewers believe he would be devoured by sea monsters before reaching the edge.)
