Larry David, You Can Relax

One morning last week, we were heading toward downtown Chicago when we saw an unusual cloud pattern: a giant X cloud hanging in the sky, roughly over the Hyde Park neighborhood.

Like Larry David and so many other anxious Democrats, my husband has been going nuts over the past couple of months worrying that Something Might Happen to keep Barack Obama out of the White House.

Then, one morning last week, we were heading toward downtown Chicago when we saw an unusual cloud pattern. I don't know whether it was a conjunction of vapor trails or an odd cirrus formation -- but whatever it was, there was a giant X cloud hanging in the sky, roughly over the Hyde Park neighborhood.

My husband turned to me with a sudden smile of relief. "God is an Early Voter," he said.
