It's the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. . .

. . . which makes it Election Day. The flag is out, I've done my time at the polls in the seasonally horrible weather, so I get to write about our dysfunctional little city one more time. (Why couldn't the global warming have held out for another week?) I've been doing some writing elsewhere on the Internets with my takes on the election: here on the Birmingham Buzz, and here in the Eccentric (toward the bottom of the page). If you couldn't figure it out amidst my dense, yet persuasive, political prose, I urge you vote for Shelli Weisberg, Gordon Rishchler, Scott Moore and Tom McDaniel. GOTV, people.
