Can’t wait to get home & play with the new gadget … I mean, evaluate the review unit.

Flu shot. Got one last year and was sick as a dog in November. Repeat this year? Hope not.

I am a Catholic and I am anti-slavery. I deplore slavery and have been an active part of the abolitionist movement. But this November of the year of Our Lord 1860 I am voting for Stephen A. Douglas. Now I know my announcement will befuddle many Catholics who think that Abraham Lincoln is the only possible choice if you are truly as anti-slavery as I say I am. Some of my friends ask me how can I possibly support Senator Douglas when he was largely responsible for the Compromise of 1850 and supported the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision of 1857?

Stephen Douglas 1860 - The Curt Jester

An anti-slavery Catholic justifies his vote for a pro-slavery candidate a la Jonathan Swift.

Of course getting an accepted offer is just the beginning especially when the close is the end of the month.
