The best quote from Nader's talk: "So I was talking to this guy from Chile and he asked me 'So, why is it that we, here in Chile have 9 parties and less people while you have so many more people and only 2 parties?'"

Barbara Lee is the only member of Congress who opposed the passing of the PATRIOT Act.
And for those of us (such as myself) who live in solid "blue" (Democratic) states, a vote for Nader is a vote for Nader. Oh, also, a vote for Nader anywhere is a vote for Nader. That's what votes are: for a platform or a candidate. They can never be against unless we accept false dichotomies.

Just remember, a person who leaves annonymous comments in my journal has a penis the size of a peanut!

Also, it looks like i might not be coming out to Madison -at least to look at the school. Their comp lit program seems to be mostly pre-modern to modern comp lit and russian studies kind of stuff, not so much the Americanists.

I would, but I think one ear is significantly higher than the other. So my glasses always sit kind of weird. One day, when I can hold down a job and save money, I'm going to get LASIK. And then I'll just wear glasses for looks. They won't even have lenses.
