Imagine: a Democratic Congress
Okay, if you really, REALLY can't spare one hour to volunteer for the Democratic ticket, at least send a few dollars to support the Democratic congressional candidates that are battling Republicans for seats throughout the country. In addition to electing Kerry (and...
Spend 4 Days in Wisconsin with me!
Canvassing on Saturday went well even though it rained the whole time. I think warm rain was a bit more inconvenient than the windy cold the week before, but once again, the weather did not matter to me. Reaching Kerry supporters and getting them to vote early was the...
Call Me a Rabid Democrat…
Saturday morning it's back to Wisconson for me. Here's what a Wisconsinite friend tells me the weather will be: "Thunderstorms likely, especially during the morning. A few storms may be severe. High 66F. Winds S at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 80%. Wear a hat." I will...
Take That, You Yankee Fans!
If the Red Sox can come back from 0-3 and beat the damn New York YANKEES and actually make it to the World Series for the first time in 86 years, despite superstitions from a "curse," then I know the future President John Kerry has every chance of winning the election...

The manhunt is over. What does that mean? Well first of all, I and my therapist of 11 years have once again realized that the idea of a relationship is terrifying to me. I recognize yet again that I expect being in a relationship to cause me to prioritize my...
To He Who Hesitates…
And to anyone who hates Bush but doesn't think Kerry is a good option either: Pull yourself together, ya candy-ass liberal. You want Bush out of office? Kerry's the only option we've got, so unless you want to pledge your allegiance to the Texas waterboy, suck it up...
PRESIDENT KERRY
The worst possibility is not Bush being re-elected; the worst possibility is Bush being re-elected and wondering if there was more you could have done. My Saturday: 1. Cramped schoolbus to and from Milwaukee, WI. 2. Gray skies, strong wind and 45 degree weather! 3....
Kerry or Bush: Who Would the World Vote For?
Check out this ongoing international poll. Oh, if only the entire world could elect the next U.S. president...
Self-Esteem
Scraping around in another depression triggered by my ongoing lack of a boyfriend, I saw my therapist earlier this week. We realized halfway through my session, that as depressed as I get about not being in a relationship, deep down, I don't really want to be in a...

The Unemployment Channel, Part Two
[Refers to earlier post about a Simpson's episode in which Homer is jobless and watches tv all day, including the Channel for the Unemployed.] Other programs that might be shown on The Unemployment Channel besides "How to Win the Lottery": "Dressing for Excess," "The...
The Bush Song
This song is my current anthem. It rang in my head all day as I canvassed in Wisconsin. The band is Nice Peter and they're totally cool. Peter Shukoff, the lead singer, is my new friend. You can listen to "The Bush Song" or watch the video!
