I cried that I had no i-Pod, until I met a man who could not buy a VCR:

Please write your Senator (or Congressperson if it gets to the house), to tell them not to vote for this bill.

Don't make nuns angry. You wouldn't like them when they are angry.

I say this without fear of equivocation: if George Bush is elected predisdent of the United States of America, then the democracy we have come to know and love is over. He will, undoubtedly, with the help of the far-right "neo-conservatives," proceed to destroy every tenet of this republic we hold dear.  My other fear is that, if W does not get elected, he will proceed to declare martial law, and remain in power for however long it takes for the Third World War to end.

 

I am buying my ticket out of the country in a month or so. I suggest you all do the same.

Three issues:

Firstly, I need to drum up some more dough in order to go to Japan. So, if you feel generous, gimme. If fifteen of you give me $100, then I will have more than enough. It does not have to end with fifteen. As an incentive, all donors to the cause will get a lovely gift. If I do not raise enough money, I will send it back to you. Fair?

Secondly, I think John Kerry made the right decision about running mates, albeit an obvious one. Chris Matthews is a jackass for even suggesting Sen. Clinton.

Thirdly, which stems from the point above, we all need to get more politically active. Maryland will most likely go for Kerry, but we have to make sure. We must find ways to sway the voters who would have voted for Nader not to do so. We must go to areas which have significant swing in nearby states, and convince them to vote Kerry-Edwards. In this sense, we could be like the boomer generation, except less smelly, and with more reasonable hair and clothes.

I do not know for certain whether or not the "Green Tea" diet pills actually increase motabalism, thereby helping to let one loose weight, but they make me feel thinner.
