Here they come--America's Drill Team! Out front are the two high-strutting leaders, John McCain and George W, thrusting their drum-major batons and chanting "Drill! Drill! Drill!" Right behind them are the famous Marching Lobbyists of Big Oil, and--look!--prancing alongside are House minority leader John Boehner and the Merry Pranksters of the Republican caucus, doing a precision routine of call and response

Our apoligies
Our October issue was inexcusably late. Some of you received it after the Nov. 2nd election, which was dispiriting to you and truly embarrassing to us—I apologize to you. We had two problems. The first was me. I've been crisscrossing the country practically fulltime since mid-July, traveling to more than 60 cities like some modern day Paul Revere, trying to rally a big turnout of grassroots voters. As a result, I've been writing the Lowdown in planes, trains, and taxis.
This write-and-run method seriously slowed our monthly production schedule, causing all of our summer issues to be somewhat delayed. Then came the mad political blitz of the final campaign month, which caused our October issue to be three weeks late coming out of my pen.
That still could have been within the delivery margin— but we had breakdowns at each of four stages in our production process, totally wrecking our schedule. Again, my apologies. The good news it that my travel is now back to normal and we've upgraded our production system, so we're getting back on track—and on time. Thanks for understanding.
