the final countdown

it's been a tough two weeks, but now there's just one more night left, and then we can all vote tomorrow and not have to worry about another election for the next eight years. woo!

putting that motorized vehicle death number into some perspective, it's about one 9/11-level event, every month, every year. instead of this global war for automobiles, we really should be having hundreds of local wars against them.

and speaking of paying for wars, why is losing a child to a war patriotic, but paying taxes is the burden?

And when they do, the vacuum is filled with desperation, instability, and - yes, the seeds of terrorism.

up until that line, i thought this was a repeat from last week's convention.
