I did. But I live in massachusetts. which other than texas  is the safest 
place in the world to vote for ralphie.. cause  the outcome wasn't in doubt 
in either state and popular vote doesn't count..it's cause we're a republic 
not a pure democracy you see......

If I lived in a "battleground" state.. so masculine our competitive 
terms....I would have cast my vote against...ol' Dubba....the 3 time 
arrested coke addict, alcoholic who had daddy buy his way into yale and out 
of vietnam who has executed 117 people in his role as governoer and who 
didn't get anykind of job till he was 30 and daddy appointed him the an 
oilcompany  which then abruptly went out of business...

the democrats have aggravated me when they became so damn republican.. 
cutting off welfare... education... endorsing the death penalty etc...

they're like "new" labor....which is alot more like torys then old labor...

that being said Bush and his "strict constructionists" scare me so much....

what's the general way the election is being veiwed outside the US? C'mon I 
know we've got a bucketload of UKers on here as well as some ANZACs, Swedes, 
Spainairds, Canadians et al....

as a whole I'd say in the US we're all really confused. (more so than usual) 
we don't have any idea what's going to happen....
but at the same time it's exciting cause it will cause change of some 
kind...

I think the general mood of the country is turning to "oh i don't care who's 
president just make it go away..." which is good in that we'll have no 
banana republic kind of abolishing the election and clinton proclaiming 
himself tzar... but by the same token it reeks a bit too much of apathy...


I think I have a sinister list crush but I'm not saying who!
i have an actual list crush from another band's list (yes I've been two 
timing you all with another list I apologize...)... We're going to meet up 
even though we live across country from one another... she's a librarian in 
training isn't that rad? I've very nervous and excited. anyone ever actually 
meet a sweetheart through this? Are their any list couples? How's it going? 
don't you feel slightly socially stigmatized... I do.

ah. I have to apologize for my ramblings and lack of B&S content. Although I 
would like to defend Isobel. I've never met her but I'm sure we'd get along 
swimmingly.

open invatation
if any of you all are in boston or visiting boston drop me a note. I'll give 
you a tour if you're not familiar with our fine city... and if you are than 
pints are in order...

g'night and thank you.
