After recent special elections keep turning up surprise Democrat victories in states and districts that heed been electing Republicans with clockwork reliability, I'm starting to suspect that both sides have once again failed to understand what a powerful motivator it is to piss off the normal middle, the voters who are content stay home on Election Day unless they decide things are getting out of hand. Some of 'em are out waving signs now. That rarely happens.
Elsewhere, a recent note has me looking into the history of an Indiana electronics company that began about a 160 miles away from Indianapolis, and I don't mean Electro-Voice. E-V has long been gone from South Bend, but at least one of the successors to the outfit I'm reading up on is still in the city where they started out -- and it turns out their ties go much further afield. It's a complicated story and I might not get it all untangled, but I hope to post a link-heavy article about it eventually.
