I confess I can't manage the concentration to watch George Bush for the momentary sprouting of horns or the shorting-out of the controller box on his back, so while the third "debate" is on (C-SPAN, or PBS), I'll be enjoying a nice read -- Strategic Attack of National Electrical Systems, a thesis by Major Thomas Griffith, Jr.
Some cocoa too. There are bits I can read to the children. Mike Mulligan and his electrical systems. While the best theme and wedge writers from BC04 and KE04 grapple with each other through their protagonists.
Then its off to bed where sweet dreams await.

Seriously, I think there's a sharp cultural divide between those who read of Mike Mulligan as kids and those who didn't. I'd be interested to see voting pattern comparisons.
