"Undermining my electoral viability since 2001."

Outie

I'm off camping. Be back online and in good old Eugene hometown Tuesday or Wednesday. Love you all.

Living Easy

Sorry for the recent spate of blatantly pro-Dean entries. I've been working hard on the hack4dean stuff and getting a little zealous. Talked to someone in Burlington today though, which was pretty sweet. But things are going well here. I'm maxing and relaxing in the West-Coast fashion. It looks like Mark and Shannon will be renting the bungalow behind Luke's place for July and August, and Nick will be living in his Hastings-provided San Francisco apartment. Indeed, the dream is restored.

So it's a good life. In spite of the occasional fireworks incident and suspicious foot-traffic at the neighbor's place, living on the border of Oakland and Berkeley ain't half bad. We're getting somewhere here.

Another Link From The Front

Here's a story direct from the front by Sean-Paul of agonist.org fame. He's currently travelling the silk road, and managed to have some meaningful converation with a GI in Tashkent.

"Well, all you really need to know is that [Afghanistan] is fucked. The pockets of resistance get bigger all the time. Of course the press is obsessed with WMD, Iraq and tax-cuts. They don't give a shit about us guys bleeding in Afghanistan. Nor do the politicians. They got us into this crap and they aren't giving us the tools to fix it."

That's a salacious quote, but there's a lot more to it. We need more of this.

MoveOn For Dean

Dean wins the MoveOn Primary, but doesn't manage to get the 50% needed to be their sole candidate. Not surprising out of a field of nine candidates. If it had been between Dean, Kerry and Kucinich, Dean would have likely taken it. However, for now there will be no MoveOn cash infusion, so I kicked the campaign $25.00 on the old plastic. I can ill afford the extra debt, but I think it's imporant and my $25 is worth $50 with federal matching funds. If you want to do the same, this is the link to click.

On the primary report tip, the most important numbes of all are these:

Which Candidate Would You Enthusiastically Support?

DEAN 86.02%
KERRY 75.29%
KUCINICH 68.25%
EDWARDS 55.88%
GEPHARDT 52.97%
BRAUN 50.54%
GRAHAM 49.70%
LIEBERMAN 42.01%
SHARPTON 35.48%

People could choose as many candidates as they liked. Dean's leading Kerry by more than 10% here, and even further ahead of Kucinich. This shows that when the time is right we will come together, a good sign to me.
