We could make GftNC blissful for longer than a nanosecond by talking about James Joyce and other glories of English literature. Or we could talk about books in general. As in, what's everyone reading these days?

Or we could talk about politics for a change. A friend sent me the following, which is apparently behind a paywall on TPM, so I don't have a link and couldn't use it if I did. But I'm particularly interested in Michael Cain's take:
It was only a matter of time. A candidate for Governor in Colorado has a proposal: create an in-state electoral college that will systematically over-weight rural votes and thus make it almost impossible for a Republican not to win the governorship as well as other statewide offices. Basically, counties take the place of states and Colorado has a ton of rural counties where very few people live. From what I can tell, he’s not the most likely nominee. But he won the top spot on the primary ballot at the state convention. So he’s not some random gadfly either. In any case, Gov. Jared Polis is popular and seems like a shoe-in for reelection. But this seems like the leading edge of the broader trend.
I would also like Michael Cain's take on the municipal broadband some folks in my town are proposing, but that's going to require some actual research and preparation, so ... not today.
