Today's Topix

Excellent article by composer Cy Coleman remembering his collaborator, Adolph Green.  Go read it.

And go read the transcript of Jon Stewart's appearance on CNN's Reliable Sources.  Mr. Stewart thinks CNN has failed us, and does not hesitate to use their air-time to say why.  He's also pretty funny about it.

I have no firm predictions for tomorrow's elections.  I know something utterly unexpected is going to happen, especially in Florida.  I know that a number of pollsters are going to have to explain why they missed by as much as they did.  I know that a real unpopular guy is going to win the gubernatorial race in California.  And I know that we're in for at least a couple of "post-election elections" with court challenges to the votes, plus attempts to get senators or congresspeople to switch parties.  But beyond that, I don't have a clue, and neither does anyone else.
