It is election day! Rather than give a full hour of pontifications, Jay and Neal have put together a very short episode with each of them providing their thoughts on the 2016 election. Enjoy!

Back in the day when memorization was the norm (well before Standards of Learning and Common Core), this epitomized the full extent of what my memory could handle
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
by William Ernest Henley
