In my last post, I was the idjit.  When I made my lame joke about 
Hoosiers thinking, the second time around, that Thomas Dewey was the 
incumbent, I was referring to the famous headline "Dewey Wins" blah 
blah blah.  But as soon as I sent that post, I realized that the event 
I was thinking of was in the election against Truman in 1948...the 
second time Dewey ran for President.  So not only was my joke lame, it 
was just dead wrong.  Which means it wasn't even a joke.  So...can we 
just pretend I didn't write that?

Julie, the idjit
