New Hampshire Primaries tomorrow night!



The one blessing of this morbid 18 degree weekend meant that I basically got to clean out my computer files and watch a lot of CNN, CSpan, MSNBC, and regular network coverage on all the candidates. I got my first good look at Edwards (who really is too handsome to be taken seriously), and a closer look at Tree Man...er, Kerry. My eyes were locked on that set when retired General Wes Clark came on, though.



This is a critical election, kiddies. If you're not registered to vote, now's the time! Where were the WMD's? How much did Bush's tax cut put in your pocket? (My take was $4.28---that's a two-way Metrocard, a pay phone call and three pennies.) Do you want drilling in Alaska? (Think about all the displaced polar bears.) How many more Enrons can this country take? Did you know that the number of unisured Americans right now--PARTICULARLY among the middle class--has leaped into the millions and continues to grow? For those who have health insurance, costs have risen as high as 400% since the summer of 2002, and many employers can no longer shoulder the burden alone. The trade agreements that slid under the public radar will continue to outsource more and more American jobs and the union-busting attitude of corporate America will ensure that no one above the highest tax brackets will be able to get ahead. Is this what you want? Iraq gets $87 billion, but I have to watch that sad AmEx commercial night after night with Martin Scorcese pleading and begging for funds to reopen the Statue of Liberty???!!! Georgie Porgie can't find $10-15 million that Lady Libby needs to shine as example of freedom??!!! This is a direct slap in the face to all New Yorkers and it needs to end. Oh, and the question of the week: WHERE IN THE FUCK IS BIN LADEN???? Out golfing with OJ Simpson's "real" killer? PUHHHHLEASE!!!!



Forget your sitcoms and reality crap tv tomorrow night, and see what these guys have to say. The fate of this country depends on it, and your attention is needed NOW.
