"One Nation Controlled By the Media"

Well kids, its all over. According to all of the major news corporations and even the small indy media, Kerry has conceeded to Bush. I went to bed last night with a small sinking feeling in heart and a funny feeling in my tummy after watching CNN showing great portions of the United States map covered in red like a blood-stain of patriotism in favor of Bush. But I was lulled to sleep optomistically in believing that Americans aren't really stupid enough to fall for the same dog and pony show again and that CNN are a bunch of right-wing corporate whores . But I apparently was wrong, at least about the former. I'll be honest, I didn't really like John Kerry all that much and yeah, the guy really didn't have all that much personality or substance. Yes, perhaps the Democratic Party could have chosen a better candidate to represent its platform. But having to choose between a known fuck up and a cardboard cut-out, I chose the latter, because it basically boiled down to voting for the candidate that wasn't GeorgeW. Bush. I would have voted for anyone or anything that the Democratic Party endorsed. Gary Coleman? you betcha! Spongebob Squarepants? sure. A box of Cheez-its? Hell yeah!!! Here's hoping that the next four years go fast without going to any more poorly planned wars. ~"Don't wanna be an American Idiot"

Choosing or Losing Yor Mind

The excitement of Halloween has passed and all that's left over are lawn decorations and undesireable candy leftovers (eww candy corn). I hope that everyone is ready to go to the polls tomorrow and do what we do best in this country:voting by secret ballot. I know that everyone is really sick and tired of all the political ad campaigns and all of celebrities urging you to vote in a endless litany of cliche slogans so I won't belabour the point. If P. Diddy can't get you to vote then I know I can't.
