Brownback is apparently exiting the race. Here’s a blurb from the news:

“In the latest CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll conducted October 12-14, Brownback was the top choice of 1 percent of the registered Republicans polled. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 5 percent.”

It’s not going well when the margin of error might put your actual number at -4%. I would certainly put him in that region. Unfortunately, that means the -4% might switch over to Giuliani.

I ordered tickets for a New Pornographers show (they aren’t actually pornographers) for a few months back. Normally the club sends them fairly quickly via mail – I’ve either not received them or I chucked them because they were in a plain jane, junk mail-looking envelope.

The Eleven has been wondering what’s an appropriate word, or words, to drop into the following spectrum:

BALONEY --------------------------------------------- BULLSHIT

The germ of the quandary is that I’m of the opinion that if I’m in the Senate, or maybe the House if I’m using this kind of language, I’d completely called bullshit on people – and actually use the work bullshit. It appears that some might find that offensive, and that’s fair enough, but baloney doesn’t have anything like the power of displeasure I’d feel when listening to Darryl Issa or Nancy Pelosi drone on in space. I’m open to all inputs that are more meaningful than baloney.

Frick it.
