It's time for some inside the beltway reporting, some inside baseball, some metaphor mixing. Dear subscriber, we've come so far. And one must imagine Sisyphus happy. But is he? The boulder thing seems like a bummer.

Herr Vootsman is president. There are no challengers. Only Voots. But if a President wins an election and nobody is there to hear it, does he still win? According to this game, apparently, the answer is yes.

We had a region yesterday. Tomorrow we will not. Then we will again, maybe. The cycle continues.

Economic Update

To achieve this, researchers at the eBureau of eLabor eStatistics have restricted the population to only include those who actually are looking to do work, limiting the denominator to just being Herr Voots, who is employed as President. Malarkey83, longtime insider source, tells GBM that "honestly, this makes sense. What kind of person is still spending their Friday nights doing actual labor for a browser game. Go, have a life. Or at the very least, find a better game. Have you tried an xbox? They're pretty cool."

Excellent news!
