There’s a re-share going around my Facebook friends list of a billboard that says “If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you’re not a racist, vote for somebody else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.” I’m not linking to it because I’m not in any hurry to give the guy who posted it originally any more traction (though to be fair I’m sure he didn’t create it, just took the picture).

With WHOM?!” “With Gabra Zackman,” said I, “the reader of my Walker Papers audio books.” Ted paused, bemused, then said, “Your life is not normal. I mean, really.
