Apparently, my feeble attempt at humor at the end of this post fell flat. So for the benefit of Tom Piatak, let me clarify: I wasn’t criticizing Daniel Larison for not endorsing Obama, or even seriously asking him why he didn’t. I would have thought that was obvious after I absurdly claimed that “Larison’s views on Obama have until now been cryptic and indecipherable.”

Piatak suggests that “Perhaps the one who needs to explain his choice for president is Stooksbury.”  Fair enough. I plan, yet again, to waste my vote on a third party crank. It won’t accomplish much beside giving me a few minutes of satisfaction.
