...by Pres. Obama. (Sorry. I may end up abbreviating things in this post due to an unfortunate tendency of the upper left keys to be difficult to press, particularly w and r.)

But first, a story from philosophy class. We were talking about Thomas Reid's response to Hume's argument from contiguity. The argument goes something like this:

What I am directly aware of seems to diminish as I move away from it.
The table does not diminish as I move away from it.
Therefore, I am not directly aware of the table.

Which of course is complete rubbish. Anyway, I was actually on the way to making a (good) point, and couldn't resist the awful (if true) pun: Hume seems to have literally lost perspective. Yes. I went there.

Anyway.

And here, courtesy of

And would they hurry up and freakin' count the votes in my state already?! I know they haven't even gotten to the early voting results, of which mine is one, but really, the last few precincts in North Carolina could get their rears in gear.
