CNN says that Democrats dislike John Kerry's (non)stance on the war. We supposedly want him to take a more black-and-white-out-for-blood approach. Which is true, but that was Howard Dean's spiel and it certainly didn't work for him. I'd personally settle for someone with convictions that somewhat match with mine.

I've been trying to read Sandman, but it's hard. No, not because the art on the earlier issues is so awful - I think that adds atmosphere. Because the main character looks just like Neil Gaiman. What is up with that? It's so weird! Also, his mask is the head of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulu.

Damn I'm bored.
