From an article, Police prepare for unrest, published today in The Hill, which is the leading newspaper of Congress and Capitol Hill:
POLICE PREPARE FOR UNREST
by Alexander Bolton
Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest.

Public safety officials said in interviews with The Hill that the election, which will end with either the nation's first black president or its first female vice president, demanded a stronger police presence.


Bolton is confecting one of those disingenuous 'balanced presentations' that falsify the real story. No one would riot over the election of a female Vice President, if that was all there was to it.

Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election...


There'll be more than 'suspicion of foul play' going on if McCain's declared the winner.

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.
