All right, Jeff, but only on your well-trusted say so. I'm seriously oversaturated with information on all four (it's down to four now, right?) remaining candidates. Two would be catastrophic, two would be acceptable in one way or another... that's about all I know at this point. When the time comes to pull the lever, it should be pretty clear-cut.

Oh, I hear ya. I'm sick and tired of it myself. I guess I read Remnick's commentary only because it wasn't a full-scale article, but reading it made me go, "Woo-hoo!" :laugh:
I just thought it turned out to be a great piece of writing. :)

One day recently I was reading something from the New Yorker online, and on the right rail it showed the top 5 stories -- all 5 were about Donald Trump. I'm so sick of that name I'd refuse to vote for him for that reason alone!
But unfortunately, the way America works is just the opposite. The more people hear a name the more interesting that person seems to become to a large share of the public, which generates a self-fulfilling circle.
Which is why I see/hear Trump's name on average about once an hour and I see/hear Kim Kardashian's probably at least once a day.

Well, there's a respite of sorts in the new issue. A story by Annie Proulx!!
