Kevin,

I’m jumping my turn, but I imagine your house’s bath time is a little more involved than mine, you having children, and me having dogs. Every few weeks we just take them out to the yard and turn the hose on them. I imagine if you did that you’d get a visit from child and family services.

I wanted our loyal readers to know that we have an honest-to-goodness field correspondent at the Obama Grant Park rally, my brother, who scored some tickets via some local Chicago political connections. He doesn’t have hologram technology, so he does have a phone, so if anything of note happens he’s going to call.

—John
