Ooh, Sinister, you're so serious these days. David White said: one of the few things I admire about the US is the fact that status is not defined by who your ancestors were. Yes, it's brilliant living in a country in which you can become anything you set your mind to -- even president! Why this year we have a choice between a president's son *and* a senator's son. But before all you cross-Atlantic types sell us short, please remember that we Yanks are capable of electing someone from outside of the two-party system for high politcal office -- provided they are former pro-wrestling heels that looked smart in a pink feather boa and a cubic zirconia dimple stud. (Hmm, is that how one spells "zirconia." I suppose I could have just wrote "Cubic Z." That would make a fairly swell hip-hop name. Not a very ambitious one though; I guess you'd definitely be a hater and not a playa with *that* handle.) Why can't we all get behind one another in both the US and UK like Mute Records is for Looper! Did we talk about Looper leaving Jeepster yet? I can't remember. Sometimes I drift off during class and daydream. Or doodle. scott. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
