1. The horror! The horror! What if I forgot to vote on November 4? Or what if I just got complacent, and stayed home? My friend Liz tells me what would happen.
2. Ron Howard would never let that happen, even if he was still Opie or Richie Cunningham.
3. In case you're the last person on the planet to see the McCain-Obama Dance Off, have at it! (That is some clever film editing, no?)
4. And if you're an American who is, somehow, still undecided about how to vote, check out this David Sedaris piece re the Undecideds:
I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention?
To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.
I mean, really, what’s to be confused about?
I dunno, I'd have liked the Dance-Off better if it'd had the Jets & the Sharks, but I guess that just means I'm an old fart honky.

I just told my husband the other day that NC was sewn up for Obama because Sheriff Taylor and Opie endorsed Obama. Plus James Taylor?
They are all about as sacred to our state as sweet tea, ACC Basketball and grits.
