This morning on NPR, during a discussion about race in the election campaign, there was some talk about just what the "Joe Sixpack" shorthand represents. The concensus seemed to be that he is a white male. I think there are some other facets worth identifying.

I don't think I'm the only one who is feeling depleted by the long and intense campaign. Hasn't it seemed like much longer than two years? My obsessive attention to Kos, the other sites, the polls, MSNBC, the papers, the magazines, the debates, the bumper stickers and yard signs has worn me plumb out. I'm anxious about election day and whatever might blow up before then.

I know that after the election, the real work will start. Wars, financial systems, health care, tax fairness, energy, and on and on and on....

But after election day and before the aftermath, I think we are going to need a party.

While laying paving bricks for a garden path this afternoon, my mind wandered to the mystery of the American electorate. I'm befuddled, frankly, and have been for years.

How can my conservative brethren be so boneheadedly stupid as to vote for GWB twice?

How can they swallow such whoppers provided they are repeated enough times with enough confidence?
