With absentee ballots arriving in mailboxes and many people taking advantage of early voting opportunities across the country, I wanted to get the long-awaited Hoystory.com endorsement out on the Internet. I want to emphasize that the following endorsement is not approved by, nor is it representative of the views of, my employer, The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Having said that, I want you to know that I will be working election night designing the Union-Tribune's metro section. The presidential candidate I want you, the reader, to vote for is the one who will ensure that I spend the night surrounded by a horde of miserable, distraught and depressed people.

Let me say this again. I'll be in the newsroom. Working. You. Vote. Person who will make other people in the newsroom sad.

That is all.
