AB.com Open Mic Monday.

I'm back, but the blog isn't. Yet. Drop links, write your own posts. You know the drilly.

A few stories of interest...

The Inevitable "Sky Is Falling" Romney Campaign Staff Story. - And... just like that, all the staffers are jumping ship, essentially writing the post mortem on this campaign weeks before election day. Way to stick up for you guy, folks. As you'll recall the same sort of loose lips stories cropped up from #TeamPalin/McCain back in 08' around this same time. Odd.

The Bureaucratic Nightmare Of Actually Trying To Get An ID To Vote With By Election Day - Not nearly as simple as it sounds.

Black Multimillionaire Loses House Featured On MTV Teen Cribs - Maybe you remember this episode, maybe not. Either way, have a look. It's a pretty sad story of rags to riches to rags.

Clarence Thomas Acknowledges He's Black, And That Blacks Might Not Have Actually Been Regarded In The Constitution. - Yeah, can't wait to hear the Conservative backlash from this one. The nerve of this guy to "play the race card".

Question: What's on your mind today?
