Your 'Fun Fact' reminded me of an unintentionally hilarious moment during Election Night 2004, during which incumbent Bush already had a decent lead over Sen. John Kerry.

Dan Rather was desperately reciting to Bob Schieffer the electorial mathematics of how Kerry might come back even if Bush took Ohio. After listening patiently, Schieffer simply replied: "Kerry can't win without Ohio."

Back after these commercial messages...


A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

- THOMAS JEFFERSON
