I just can't sleep at night. I toss and turn all night anguishing over who I should vote for. I wake in a cold sweat at the possibility that the wrong person will become president because of my vote. So I have decided to do the honorable thing and sell it. I was going to put it up on e-bay but I don't have a pay pal account.

They used to close the saloons on Tuesdays, why do we always hold elections on tuesdays, probably a good reason for it, just like there is a good reason for having Super Delegates, or an Electoral College. Or electronic voting machines, or RFID Tags on passports So in the begining was the begining of the begining of the end.

dont mind me on thursdays, I just can]t get the hang of thursdays.

I am amazed by people who know who they are going to vote for six weeks before an election, But who am I to talk, yesterday seems like ash wendesday and tomorrow always feels like good friday to me.


And the elections were free and fair in the Weimar republic but some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope.

Nobody reads Dos Passos 1919 anymore.

Where is Emma Goldman when we need her?

That's the spirit! A fine, entrepreneurial notion.

Neither can I.

Me too. I'm amazed at people who know who they're going to vote for 4 years before the election because they're either left or right... I'm amazed the Presidential campaign process takes well over a year... a year!!!... Anyway... Maybe I'll sell my vote too. Very popular with the Senators and Reps., I hear...

"incapable of embracing the politics of sin, cynicism and despair"


The Minimal Self: Psychic Survival in Troubled Times By Christopher Lasch

Another book I will probably never read But a catchy title.

Joseph P. Kennedy spent heavily to win the Presidency in 1960 for his son. Nobody knew at the time just how much, and no one does yet.

As a candidate, John Kennedy deflated concern by joking about it. Once he said his father had wired him not to spend more than necessary because "I won't pay for a landslide."

Barack Obama: the new JFK
Barack Obama is the political heir to my former boss. He faces many of the same obstacles JFK faced before winning the presidency.

Christ I hope not.

Johnny I hardly knew ya.

Where is Eugene Debs, Norman Thomas, Clarence Darrow, Thorstein Veblen, where are my heroes, dead and gone, but maybe they can still vote in CHicago.

Somebody said if you are not a socialist under the age of forty, you don't have a heart. And if you are still a socialist after the age of forty you don't have a brain.

I am off to see the wizard the wonderful WIzard of OZ.

TK talking about reading political theory
Too Bad nobody reads DOs Passos no more
USA once upon a time considered one of the greatest american novels of the 20th century.

I am going to vote for Barbara Boxeri in 2012 because she is pretty in pink, not some dumb blonde like hillary, Barb was smart enough to know then what she knows now.

I don't even know who I am going to vote for next month jim, going to see how it plays out the next few weeks.
