Oh dear gods. I have nothing against Williamson personally, but a glance over her campaign website suggests that we probably don't share a single important policy viewpoint in common; what's more, I'd be a lousy head of state, and very likely so would she. (Intellectuals make bad leaders; sorry, Plato.)

Oh, and while we're talking about Twitter, could someone who's on that please drop a note to twitter user MarcuSteropes to ask him to contact me? He submitted a story to the "Love in the Ruins" contest and it was accepted for publication, but I never got an email from him with contact into. If he can post something either here or to my blog marked "not for posting" with his email address, we can move ahead on the anthology.
