A COUPLE OF READERS wrote to ask why I didn’t post anything about the elections yesterday. Hey, if Kerry could take the day off, why not me?

And although people make fun of Kerry for his vacations and days off, I think it’s smart. Running for President is exhausting and miserable. (Hell, blogging about people running for President can be that way.) Like Ronald Reagan’s naps, these breaks are a good thing, even if people make fun.
