Which, due to the confusion of using old-fashioned calendars actually happened in November.
November is the traditional month for Commies to take over...

Hunsdon said...: OK, come on, guys, let's play fair, if not nice. To the extent that the post is about the "October Revolution" the fact that it took place in what we call November has nothing to do with the commies. (The killing and all that? That WAS them.)

It all goes back to the split between Rome, Byzantium and Moscow, and the time lag that developed between the Gregorian and Julian calendars.

To the extent its about a recent election, I just fall down and giggle, and cry, all at the same time.; 12:00 AM, November 08, 2008

"nonerti" verification sounds appropriate.; 12:38 AM, November 08, 2008
Tommy Paine IX said...: Crucis is right. We need to focus on the Midterms in 2010, and keep up the pressure on the Blue Dog Democrats until then. They've disappointed so far, because they want to have choice committee assignments down the road. They need to be reminded that they get no committee assignments, choice or otherwise, if they're out of office.; 1:54 AM, November 08, 2008
Tommy Paine IX said...: Nothing further to add, except that my new verification word is "preban". That thing is getting scary!; 1:57 AM, November 08, 2008
