The Krait stumped this blogger with 9 questions about the campaign that will end (Amen!) in a few days. Truth will out: this blogger scored 5 correct answers out of the 9 queries posed by The Krait. 56% ain't passing in this blog. This score qualifies this blogger as a voter for The Geezer, but he already voted by mail for The Hopester. If this is (fair & balanced) abject stupidity, so be it.

In 2001 she became the first woman ever appointed editor of the Times editorial page.

Collins returned to The Times as a columnist in July 2007. Besides America's Women, which was published in 2003, Ms. Collins is the author of Scorpion Tongues: Gossip, Celebrity and American Politics, and The Millennium Book, which she co-authored with her husband, Dan Collins.
