Pundits may over-analyze this election week, but here is what we know:

• Elections are very serious, unless you’re enjoying election movies
• Politicians may talk about 1,000 points of light, but you can’t see them without a telescope (for 10% off)
• Voting may be free, but it can’t beat 97 cent shipping on top holiday toys
• We can make government a bit lighter if we bought each Member of Congress a limited edition aluminum chair
• It’s not a coincidence that we get a new iPod shuffle and a political shuffle in the same week.
