Down is up

You want to know how fucked up America is these days?

After last week's nearly flawless Democratic National Convention (seriously, the worst part of the four days was Paul Simon's horribly off-key rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters"--embarrassingly bad), the best I have ever seen in following conventions of both parties since 1976, and the previous week's Republican National Convention which strongly resembled a freak show, as of today, Hillary Clinton has only a roughly 65% chance of defeating Donald Trump to win the Presidency (election snapshots here and here).

While I'd much rather be where we are than where republicans are, but for fuck's sake you'd think after the last two weeks (and Trump's insulting a fallen soldier's family, to boot) we'd be talking about who's going to be in Clinton's cabinet rather than whether she can win enough electoral votes.

Peace,
