Evidently everyone gets exit polls now:

Dear Sweetie:

I'm forwarding you these numbers someone sent me. I think they have something to do with the election!

Mr. Drudge says I shouldn't pay attention to them, and these other folks say they're bad because you might make the nice people on TV follow your lead. YOU ALREADY CRASHED THE STOCK MARKET -- ISN'T THAT ENOUGH DAMAGE FOR ONE DAY? Anyhow, I really think we can call Ohio for Kerry.

Love,

Mom

PS, If you ever want to talk about your drinking, I'm here for you.
