     But I don't mean to get off track. What amazes me is that the other superhero we adulated at the time, Vincent Bugliosi, is now donating his splendid skills to efforts to impeach Bush. He's in the wrong place at the wrong time. I refuse to see the movie W, though it will become an archive and is being released at a most timely moment.

     But Oliver Stone chose the wrong subject. He should have focused on Bomb-Bomb and Bimbo and their abysmal performance in college, among other traits that curse the future of this country if they are selected. There is an email circulating now comparing the two B's with Obama, but will that reach the undecideds or only the choir?

     I will freelance more today and make more calls to Virginia and other swing states. Most calls are answered by voicemail messages, but the campaign is insightful enough to have allowed us to leave messages where they didn't use to. If we sway one voter, each of us, we may be helping the cause.

     If we save one life, we save a million? We are trying to save many more souls.

     If Obama wins despite the deluge of corruption, I will dance in the streets in DC, where in the last election 90 percent of voters went for the Democratic candidates.

     It occurred in 2006. Did they let us win just to make some room in a Congress that could not accomplish much because we didn't have a useful majority in the Senate? Idea being that they'll let the Dems win in what amounts to an off year just to prove that in off years or any year the other party can win though these days it rarely does.

     All my bags aren't quite packed; I'm not quite ready to go, preferring the dancing in the street option.

     But who, even the corruption machine, can block a tidal wave of opposition? Can any levee be sufficiently high and strong? Even if the McCaindidates spend all their billions on it?

     Pray that the good prevails.
