after you, madam secretary

A perk of the stay-at-home life is that you can do your errands whenever you want, which also means you can avoid the rush at the supermarket, you get public buses all to yourself--and you don't have to wait in line on election day. Apparently Madeleine Albright is on the same schedule: This afternoon she arrived at Ward 2's 6th precinct polling station just ahead of me, wearing a plain but elegant grey suit. We were getting our ballots, and when the polling staffer asked her "Democrat?" She paused for a moment and said "hell, yeah!"--to the delight of the four other voters nearby.

Incidently, one of the poll workers told me to doublecheck that my party affiliation was correct on their list--she said that a lot of Democrats had been finding that they were listed Republicans. She speculated that someone was trying to make it seem like there are more Republicans in the District of Columbia than there really are. Interesting, no?
