Here's something for you to ponder...according to the Constitution, chosen electors of the Electroal College are the real people who will vote for president, when they meet on Dec. 19th in their respective state capitals.
There is technically nothing stopping any of the electors from voting their conscience and refusing to support the candidate to whom they were bound, or from abstaining from voting altogether. There’s even a name for it: becoming a “faithless elector.”
Be honest, how many of you had the will and endurance to stay up last Wednesday night through the early hours of Thursday morning for the 10th inning, post rain delay, 7th game, Cubs 8-7 World Series, first in 108 years, victory?That's quite a lead, don't you think?After all, the Cubs had to exorcise the curse of the goat and free Steve Bartman from witness protection!Cub pitcher Jon Lester said it best: "A curse for me, is an excuse looking for a way out". Profound!

We’re about to see the biggest supermoon in more than 60 years – and there won’t be another until 2034.
On November 14 at 9:52 AM, the moon will be the closest to Earth it has been since 1948. The moon is expected to be 14% bigger and 30% brighter, making it one of the most astronomical nighttime shows of the 21st century so far, according to scientists.
