Hey. Been down in bed for three days with a cold so bad, I feel like an alien's going to burst through my chest at any moment. I'd give anything just to have a case of the sniffles right now - been sleeping 18 hours at a stretch, and that's out of character for me. I see where there's going to be a quantity of the white stuff falling in the hills up there for the next 24 hours. Where was it four months ago, eh?
"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
--H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
