So like hi and stuff. How are you? Is life swell? Not much going on here. Though I heard about something happening next week which I understand could have a major impact on all of our lives. Something about Ballads...Like this one:
The Ballad of George W. Bush
"GWB your days of unchecked power are numbered
Since your administration will soon be encumbered
Yes it is true
Your party will lose
And your agenda will be torn asunder"
Let's do this! (Aww but ma! I don't like politics! I am going to stop reading this entry now and go back to Facebook [note: Some non-Drew people insert MySpace here]) WAAAAAAAAAIT! Just give me a minute here, please :) No big speech but you everyone should know what is at stake on November 7th:
The War in Iraq, Minimum Wage, Stem Cell Research, GLBT Equality, Reproductive Rights, Immigration, Presidential Accountability, Internet Neutrality (laymans: keeping corporate interests OFF the 'Net), Torture, Human Rights, Iran and North Korea, National Morality and Standing in the world, Darfur, Global Warming, Advancement of Science, Healthcare! Just to name a few...
Now if NONE of these things really apply to you...well what are you some kind of monk? This is it folks. This election is NO LESS SIGNIFICANT than the presidential election of 2004! (How can I possibly say that? Because in theory...the legislative branch is 1/3rd share of an equal government and it is what is on the line here).
(But even if I vote, it's not like it will be counted, it's not like it matters!) FALSE! EVERY house seat comes up every 2 years and there are a slew of Senate, Governership, Secretary of State, and other local elections in every single state. As for your vote not getting counted:

That's it folks. Just go vote. It's that simple. Tuesday. November 7. Are you ready to be a part of the solution and turn this country around? I sure as hell am!
Note: Predictions and Summaries and all that good stuff coming next time, so stay tuned for that!
