The other night I dreamt of knives

Must. Comment.
The head of the California Republican Party is live on Today right now, and has just cried and declaimed what an awful job Gray Davis has done; his first and primary complaint is that the state started with a $10m surplus and is now in a $39m deficit. And that, friends, is grounds for recalling a publically elected official. I wonder if anybody else falls under this criterium.....

There will be no commenting about the fact that, despite there being 320987432874 candidates on the ballot, only two people representing two parties (Well. One.) are allowed to comment.

My mood has improved noticably since the installation of the car stereo.
I am now officially late for work.

Again, far be it from me to say that this is a media conspiracy or that if it weren't for big bad CNN the world would be a perfect place.
But I am strongly resistant to just sitting back and letting the Republicrats hijack the greatest democratic experiment I have ever seen.
Best tactic is probably start small--city elections, county offices, state congressmen--but at the heart of it, I just got to the point where I didn't want to live with my conscience after I voted for somebody I found repugnant on the theory that if I didn't vote for the candidate I thought would do the best job I was 'throwing away my vote'.
If I get serious and passionate enough about this, maybe I'll end up moving to Wyoming or New Hampshire or someplace small enough to be controlled by my psychic mind control.

I vote my conscience, and not "pragmatically" so I feel your pain, as Clintonesque as that sounds.

Sometimes that means I don't vote for any of the available candidates. That's kind of sad.

It is. I find more and more that I'm not going to elections to vote for people. I'm going to vote for ballot measures and other 'things' because, as usual, people have disappointed me.
But those 'things' are important enough to keep me coming back to the old school gym and voting.
