Things that are nawing at me:
-The stolen elections of 2000 and 2004
-The collapse of the media as a watchdog of democracy (sans the Times)
-Mitt Romney
-THERE'S A GODDAMM GENOCIDE IN DARFUR AND OUR BIGGEST PRIORITY IS FUCKING FLAGBURNING?
-The erosion of checks and balances and the bill of rights and people's readiness to accept it.
-ANTI-HISPANIC SENTIMENT. Seriously, this is gonna cause me to pull a Zidane someday if I ever meet James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma)
-"support our troops," as if soldiers are a higher level of citizenship than the rest of us.
Things that are keeping me afloat:
-Al Gore: in short, our generation's Gandalf
-RFK Jr.: Picking up the torch from his father to help save America from itself.
