I am dying to write a post about the Ned Lamont - Joe Lieberman democratic primary in Connecticut but since people only stopped voting 24 minutes ago I guess it would be premature to declare a winner (unless you're Fox News and your relative is running)

when one drives south on I-57 towards bucolic southern Illinois one is assaulted by burma-shave-esque road signs for a webpage called gunssaveslives.com or some crap (no link provided)the signs feature some almost lucid ditty about guns and you know how they save lives
