I Like To Get My Admissions of Error In Early ...

... and at the moment, it looks like my presidential election outcome prediction was quite incorrect, both as to general outcome (the disgraced former president seems to have defeated the empty pantsuit), and with fewer correct state predictions than my usual 48.

No, I didn't stay up all night awaiting results -- one of my children thought it was of paramount importance that I know, in the middle of the night, that his motivated guess was right and my dispassionate analysis was wrong.

There shall surely be much wailing and gnashing of teeth. But that was inevitable no matter the vote counts.

Like Mencken said, "democracy, too, is a religion. It is the worship of jackals by jackasses."
