I voted.

So, I went to cast my ballot for Truth, Justice, and The American Way.
But I had to say "No, Mr. Nader, I voted for you once, and it has caused me no end of trouble!"

So, I'm sorry Mr. Nader, but I didn't vote for you this time.


As an old friend said "There's not always a Democrat to vote for, but there's always a Republican to vote against."

Really, read them both. It's making me consider that move to Finland I was wishing for in 2004.

My letter to Clair McCaskill

I figured that if I'm going to send letters to Senators I disagree with, maybe I should send letters to politicans who are actually doing something I like. They probably don't get enough "good job, keep it up" sorts of letters.

First of all, I am a voting constituent.
I would like to thank you for sticking to your guns on the Iraq war spending bill. Thank you for helping the Senate do what the people asked. Do not give in to Jr. Bush.
Hopefully in time, everyone will see who is on the side of America and who is on the side of Haliburton.
