My second favorite paragraph: "Book it: Romney's going to win this election in a romp come November. I'm certain of this because there is a key factor that's being overlooked this time around -- blacks have lost their passion for Obama.

I see that loss reflected in the faces of my fellow blacks, who at the mention of Obama's name no longer beam with rapturous joy -- something we blacks normally reserve for winning lottery tickets and intimate getaways with persons not our spouses. As the saying went in the 'hood where I grew up: "If he looks happy, he's either hit the number or he's cheating."

=========== Please note, while I do think the polls are extra crappy this time around, at least the ones we see are, I'm not predicting a Nixonian landslide.

Anyway, read it through, if only to read his book titles.
