Look, for the last time, we don’t do endorsements. Even—and I want to make this absolutely clear—even if one of the candidates is as execrable as John McCain, or if one of the ballot measures is as vile and hateful as Proposition 8.

We do make fun little lists, though, like Greg Stacy’s survey of McFakeassMaverick’s copious coprolescence, and Matt Coker’s portents that OC just isn’t all that fired up about the Republican nominee.
