民調顯示二至三十歲的年輕族群有大半支持歐巴馬,一名UW社會學教授指出喜悅(euphoria)是一種強力的春藥,這兩項因素加裡起來,歐巴馬勝選夜是不是因此產出很多寶寶呢?明年八月就會見曉。很巧的是,熱衷於政治的歐巴馬父母,在1961年8月生下歐巴馬,剛好是1960年11月總統大選之後的九個月後,當年大選民主黨甘迺迪從共和黨艾森豪手中贏回白宮。--- 今天在UBookstore看到的一篇文章,很有趣。

Tennyson wrote, Authority forgets a dying king... and this was never more true than for John F. Kennedy, whose murder was probably one the most terrible moments in the history of our country. You, the people, the jury system sitting in judgment on Clay Shaw, represent the hope of humanity against government power. In discharging your duty, in bringing the first conviction in this house of cards against Clay Shaw. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.... Do not forget your dying king. Show this world that this is still a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. Nothing as long as you live will ever be more important.... It's up to you.

花了一個下午終於把 keyboard drawer 裝在書桌下面,費了不少功夫把我那厚重的書桌整個倒置、再抬起,又花了不少蠻力在木頭桌底下鑽洞,希望我腰沒閃到。
今天收到一封郵戳俄亥俄州辛辛那提的信,差點把它和招攬信用卡的信一起給丟了,但因為信很薄,不太像一般pre-approved信用卡廣告,打開來一看,原來是很久以前註冊的一個叫做 MoveOn 的 pro-liberal interest group 寄來的 Obama-Biden bumper sticker,貼紙製作的滿精美的,剛好可以留作紀念。
