obligatory political post

i know nobody reads this but me (and maybe one or two friends), but i would feel really shitty if i didn't add this site to the ever-growing list of anti-bush blogs.

throw the bums out.

vote for kerry next week (even if, like me, you're still pissed at the democratic party for years of negligence). while you're at it, vote for democrats for senate, house, governor, state legislature, and lower-ticket offices. but if any of these races aren't gonna be close at all, please vote for the greens. they're the only honest-yet-potentially-viable party on our side, and once the neocons are out on their asses, the next job for responsible citizens, regardless of party affiliation, is to chuck the two-party system. first step: instant run-off voting.

and just in case any dlc assholes are reading (yeah, i know, fat chance): you better not ignore us progressives after we get your boy elected. this democratic coalition is not about kerry; it's about ousting bush. don't assume you can count on the votes of those of us on the left unless you throw us a friggin' bone every now and then.

oh yeah, and don't forget to wear your black hooded sweatshirt to the polls!
