For those of you who don't read the Buffalo Poetics List, or who unsubscribed long ago (as I'm perpetually thinking of doing), it's totally redeemed itself this week with some of the most acute analysis of the election results that I've seen anywhere. I particularly recommend Alan Sondheim's Notes on the election and today's post from Haas Bianchi, Politics of Religion. You can read more messages here.

Consolation comes today in the form of blue skies and temps near sixty degrees. I'm going to go read some poetry.
