well blow me down!

I'm stunned. Tuckie Carlson has predicted a win for John Kerry in the Washington Post, saying that Kerry will beat Bush by 51.5%-48% in the popular vote, and by 278-260 in the Electoral College vote. Tuckie, I still think you're an over-compensating closeted size queen, but that's certainly a brave prediction, and obviously an honest one. I hope you have noticed that intellectual integrity isn't as hard as you might have thought, and actually feels good. If you regularly start displaying that quality, people other than hard-right nut cases might even start to grant you some journalistic credibility, an area in which you may have heard some criticism on lately.
