It was actually a typo on my part, turns out.

Elections Have Consequences XXVI

When the author had to come back to correct the edition, maybe the series has gotten long enough to require its own index. I can re-run the calc's at the next one, which should be in about 10 days.

This should have been printed as XXVII in case you would like to redo your calculations.

It is actually XXVII - 27. There was a misprint in the title.

With the publication of installment No. 26, Trump’s Triumphs has now consumed enough broadsheet paper—approximately 3.6 miles—to stretch from the center of Newtown, past the dump, and nearly to Sand Hill Plaza. That is the amount of paper used to print these 26 installments alone. Do you think they will stop before we get to Monroe? If Trump becomes 48 in 28 then we would make the sound for sure!
