IF YOU WOULD REMOVE THE VOTE FROM YOUR BROTHER'S EYE, FIRST REMOVE THE REGIME FROM YOUR OWN

The last time an election day rolled around, I was writing for a different blog with a different focus with different level of disclosure about my identity, and I wasn't yet writing about the blogosphere as an analyst. So incidentally or coincidentally, I had a lot more to say then.

In lieu of something actually interesting to say, I might as well just share my half-assed predictions prepared (in all of a minute) for an internal staff newsletter late last week:

• Democrats take the House with a 25 seat margin.
• Republicans hold the Senate 51-49.
• Democrats take 7 governor's mansions.
• That is to say, I have no idea but don't mind being held accountable for it.

Do I mean that Dems will pick up 25 seats compared to the GOP or that they'll end up +25 when all the voting is done? Uh... whichever turns out to be closest, that's the one I meant. Either way, you better get ready for what comes next:


Now is as good a time as any to mention that the fourth of the four Bush-Cheney '04 glasses my brother got me for Christmas in (I think) 2003 broke, just within the past few weeks:


If that's symbolic of anything, well, you'll just have to let me know.
