"Undermining my electoral viability since 2001."

Only One Thing Matters Today

It ends today:

Vote: Find Your Spot And Hit It

Feels good to do, and your local hipster bar will probably give you a free beer later if you get the "I Voted" sticker.

Feelin' Groovy

I think everything's going to work out, just as long as we really do work it. I'll be on the phone and on the blog starting in about 9 or 10 hours.

Here's what's making it possible to sleep tonight: Early Voting, the Gallup polling company (and their lovable bias), and most of all cellphones.

Yeah, it's like that. We got Ohio all up in check I think. And with Ohio, I'm pretty sure we win. So sleep tight and kick ass tomorrow.

The Toilet Online - Leave It To Bush!

Leave It To Bush! Episode 2

Seems a little more hasty and over-the-top compared to the great subtlty and amazing well-cut voices of the Gary Busey debut. Still gets a weird laugh though.

Tom Wolfe Used To Be Cool

Guardian 'The liberal elite hasn't got a clue'

The novel - researched, as usual, down to the last expletive - concerns a young world speaking "fuck patois", loaded with creatine and cocaine, numbed by PlayStation 3, and charged by alcohol, the "vile spleen" of rap and, above all, ubiquitous sex between the heirs and heiresses to privilege in America.

See, Tom, here's the thing. Playstation 3 doesn't exist. And a lot of that other stuff sounds like the kinds of overdrawn (a.k.a. "made up") characterizations that a generation gap breeds. So either you don't have your facts straight, or you're writing science fiction. But Golly, that's not really the result of "painstaking research" in the same way your early work was, now is it? Back when you had resepect; when people dubbed your and Terry and Hunter's work, "The New Journalism?" No. I'm afraid it's not.

What happened, Tom? You used to be cool. Back in the day you revealed stuff that really happened. Now you're an old man writing about college students.

Ralph Nader Talking To Dolls

Once proud, now disgraced:
Nader talks to dolls

Maybe it was always part of some incredible bit of strategy to sap funding and legal aid from GOP sources and give the "crazy people" (like those who told me with a straight face that Al Gore would have gone into Iraq the same as Bush) something to do for a few months. Maybe this is Ralphs final twist, a genius masterstroke.

If only I could believe that. The more likely interperetation is that he's in some way literally lost his mind. Poor bastard. The GOP giving him money is like frat guys giving some hobo a 40 and then making him dance around campus.

Stand Strong

Click Here and see if you don't get just a little bit excited. Just a little weensy bit.

More fortification. Click around.

For a little kick in the ass from the opposite direction, check the 2002 state of the union. In hindsight, it's terribly chilling. Try jumping in at minute 16 or so -- "axis of evil" quote is at 16:40 -- but really, just listen to how lengthy the sections of applause are for what amounts to pretty poor oratory. For instance, the first round of clapping in this section comes when G-dubs talks of missile defense systems.
