I leave for 3 hours...

Seriously.  I spend the bulk of my day at my desk and/or in front of a computer or television, doing homework, reading, and keeping news pages in the background.   This afternoon, I went over to 14th and R to help with a voter registration drive from 3 to about 6.  I get back, and I find out there's only one major candidate actively campaigning for president.  Apparently, the fundamentals aren't quite as strong as he thought.
