Maxims

Polls open here in five hours. Mrs. QuinQube is the head clerk at a voting precinct and she predicts a very heavy turnout. She has been working the last week at one of the early voting sites. Turnout has been running over a 1000 people a day (over 1600 Monday) and they were only open 9AM – 5PM. Regardless of who you support make the effort and vote. If you fail to vote you better keep your mouth shut for the next four years.

For many decades there have been the following sport maxims:
1) no team has ever comeback from losing the first 3 games of a championship series
2) Boston Red Sox will never win the World Series again
3) Presidential incumbents mirror the win-loss of the Redskins in the last home game before the election.

So far this year two of the three maxims have fallen. Will the third maxim fall this year? Guess we will know in a couple of months after the lawyers and courts sort things out.

Was it Mayor Daley that said, “vote early, vote often“? Sure hope everyone plays fair.

Hey Osama Bin Laden thanks for endorsing Kerry, but regardless of who wins you are still a marked man. That is one maxim that will not fall.
