What The Not-So-Good Doctor Will Be Watching On November 2

      You have to love the title: "Prelude to a Recount". Check out, by the way, this interview with Stewart from The Canadian Press which culminates, as all things must, with a reference to Carol Channing.   As for the Yank election, Slate has its current assessment of the State of The Union, and it's not pretty: Slate is giving the call to Kerry in the electoral college, though recent polls seem to suggest Bush could win the popular vote. If that happens, expect Al Gore to literally die laughing. (And yes, I split that infinitive. Why? Because I could, damn it.)
