A couple of FAQ's

I get some questions about these, so I might as well answer them for everyone.

FAQ: Where's Allah?

Allah's a generous patron of this blog, and we do exchange emails periodically, but he's even more guarded about his personal life than I am. I know less about Allah than I do about Ricky "Rick" Schroeder.

Sorry. I know a lot of you are fans of Allah (as I am, of course), but I just have no idea why he takes breaks from time to time, or when he might be back.

FAQ: You're Really Hoke Malokey, Aren't You?

I was suprised that at least one reader thinks that Hoke is a character. He's not. He's an actual dude, whose name/political bona fides I'm not allowed to reveal.

So, in case you were suspicious: No, I wasn't using the "Hoke" character to express my own doubts about Bush's electoral prospects. I had doubts, of course, but not nearly as strong as Hoke's. Hoke, as I said, has always been a tad pessimistic about every election.

He wants Republicans to win. He's just never very confident they will.

Hoke, by the way, may be posting here this weekend, and he's prepared to eat a certain amount of crow for his pessimistic predictions. But try not to be too hard on him.

This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who.
