CARP

Write your rep! RadioIO has a lovely form you can fax your Representative detailing why CARP is idotic. I don’t like their form letter, though. But the House has a handy form that lets you find and email your rep – Senators ought to be easy to find (you only have two, after all), but personally I can never remember who my rep is from year to year.

Damn, and I said this wasn’t going to be a politblog. Fun and frivolity will return tomorrow!

I’m addicted to the NYTimes maps this morning, especially the county bubble view. Hello, population distribution! It’s fascinating to compare this year to 2004.
