Patriotic Duty, Part I

I haven't been doing enough to further the cause of getting Mr. Bush kicked the fuck out of office. So, today's posts will be political. I will release them one at a time so you don't get overwhelmed, because I'd really like you to try to read them all, and discuss.

Firstly, I'd like to thank Mr. Norton for capsulizing something that's been making my skin itch uncontrollably for years, namely how Bush and Co. get away with unrepentant, uncontrolled, malicious spin while their opponents almost never do. I'm hoping that Kerry learns to take his gloves off a bit--I don't want to see him stooping to his combatant's level, but I hope he addresses the spin issue directly, so the public can at least consider exactly how they've been and will continue to be fucked under his tarnished aegis.

Also, in terms of my own efforts, I've just realized that my parents will be visiting during the weekend before the election, and will be driving home and voting immediately afterwards. We might be able to work on them while they're here.
