"So virulent is the microbe of party politics . . . "

My day so far:

 6:00 am: Woke up to NPR's election coverage. 6:20 am: Worried about it in the shower. 6: 45 am: Read fivethirtyeight to feel better. Felt decidedly worse. 6:50 am: Yelled at my husband because other middle and lower class people are going to vote against their own self interest. 7 am: Got the kids up and baked muffins. 8 am: Read the kids the Lorax. 9 am: Thinking we should read Yertle, too.
