Seventh grade we did reports on something involving government. Kid stood up and told us about the electoral college. We called him a liar. Dude sat there smiling while the teacher let us know that no, children, your vote doesn't count worth a shit, never has, never will, and that's why we were about to see Michael Dukakis spend every tuesday in Vermont but the last president to visit our state was Kennedy. Let's not mince words; the Senate was a compromise.
