Amazing.  Thanks!  But until the problem with the 'exclude' directive is fixed 
(see the known issue under 3.2.0 - 08/12/2009 at 
http://www.nagios.org/projects/nagioscore/history/core-3x), we might want to 
do it this way:

  define timeperiod {
        timeperiod_name Election Day
        alias           Shouldnt you be out there voting for someone
        november 2 - 8  00:00-24:00
        use             AllButTuesdays
        }
  define timeperiod {
        name            AllButTuesdays  # so 'use' will work above
        timeperiod_name AllButTuesdays
        alias           Everyone can hate MONDAYS ...
        sunday          00:00-00:00
        monday          00:00-00:00
        wednesday       00:00-00:00
        thursday        00:00-00:00
        friday          00:00-00:00
        saturday        00:00-00:00
        }

Do you think this will also work?
