Skipping A Gimme

I am not getting involved in state-level politics on this project. Governors, yes. But State Senators, no. Not even a Republican state Senator for District 37 in Maryland whose birthday is today and who I really want to caricature. I am standing by my precedent.
Until after the 2012 election, at least. I have a lot of work to finish before then. Oh, and then after, too, when I have to revise the whole book and fill in all the newly-elected and swapped around politicians from redistricting. But THEN, oh yes, I would LOVE to caricature all of the governments in all of the states. ALL OF THEM!

Today's Classic is Thomas Paine, because, COME ON!
