Nothing much today. Too busy preparing for Frankenstorm. There’s no better illustration of what’s broken about “horse race” campaign coverage than the proliferation of analysis about how it might impact the Presidential race.

First-world problem of the day: getting ready for the storm entails a bit of a rush, as we’re in the middle of an addition. The crew is scrambling to get the last of the roofing on. The yard is a disaster waiting for high winds to make it worse.

What about our many readers who live in the likely storm path? How are you preparing (or not)?

    I am preparing for the storm by continuing to live in Idaho where we refuse to fund natural disasters.
