    In addition to Tony’s list, I watched a documentary on portrait and fashion photographer Richard Avedon called Darkness and Light.

    I almost titled this post: Barack, the baby killer? But before I get into that, check me out: There’s a little quiz at glassbooth.org that helps you find out which presidential candidate most closely aligns with you.
