Good Morning, 2006

The Politicker isn't going to ease into the 2006 races over the course of this month, so expect relatively light posting for a little while. Other people are in more of a hurry, like the operative, who shall remain nameless, who woke me up yesterday (OK, yesterday afternoon) with a voicemail that began: "Wake up motherfucker! 2006 begins now!" Alternately, Brian Lehrer has some very fun graphics on his blog from Kate Ascher's new book on how stuff in New York City works.
