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...
Dating, Part 5 Million
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?

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!
How I Love My Country — And That Means YOU
I love my country and I am willing to do whatever it takes to get George Bush out of office. This is how I loved my country today: 1. Nine a.m. meeting time to catch bus -- not enough sleep. 2. Spent 90 minutes on cramped school bus to southern Milwaukee (learned...
Canvassing In WI – odd detail
I asked each resident, "Are you supporting the Democratic ticket this year?" If they said, "Yes," then I talked to them about voting absentee. Voting absentee creates a better paper trail of your vote, makes SURE your vote is counted, and gets voting out of the way in...
Jon Stewart — I mean, John Kerry, he’s our man!
I choose to remember this from the 2004 election season: Jon Stewart arguing to Rudy Guliani that in the debate tonight John Kerry showed consistency in voicing his support for the war while he criticized the way the war has been managed. When Guliani insisted that...
