Campaigns in the Arse

… and we thought the elections were over. Once we’d swept up the confetti and deflated the balloons, we thought we could safely expel the campaign-finance reports, sitting heavy and semi-digested in our computers’ bellies like aged fruitcakes, and post our campaign swag on eBay.
