(I don't get quite as much fan mail as Andrew Sullivan.)

Good week for: Democrats from Chicago. The White Sox won the World Series for the first time in 88 years, the U.S. Attorney from Chicago announced indictments against the Vice President's Chief of Staff/Assistant to the President.

Bad week for: Senior Republican leaders (doubly bad if from Houston). In addition to the Houston Astros being swept in the World Series, the House Majority Leader was indicted on a few counts of money laundering and conspiracy, the Senate Majority Leader is under investigation for insider trading, the President's pick for the Supreme Court was forced to withdraw, and the Chief of Staff for the Vice President was indicted for lying to a federal Grand Jury about his part in the leaking of classified information.
