Yesterday I had to go over to Kouryou-chan's summer camp to pick her up. It's at the Montessori program, so lots of the people who go there are politically crunchy in one respect or another, but sometimes it's a bit over the top. I don't know what's more disturbing: the seven-year-old boy in the "Property of Halliburton" t-shirt, or the five-year-old with the Che t-shirt.

The woman who came to pick up the kid in the Che shirt then tried to sell me on Ralph Nader. Ralph Freaking Nader. She talked about how The Democratic Convention is now officially sponsored by AT&T and so forth. And while I feel her pain, I'd sooner consider voting for Senator Palpitane than for Ralph "Here, Have Another Bush" Freaking Nader.

I've been thinking about t-shirt designs today and y'know, one that just says "RALPH FREAKING NADER?" on it could be pretty darned popular.

From a 2000 Dykes to Watch Out For: "[D]on't be stupid. Vote for Nader and you'll get what you deserve. Bush."

This also has the exchange:

Clarice: "One minute Toni and I are talking about having a civil union, and the next we're questioning the whole concept of monogamy."
Carlos: "Yeah, uh huh...so where's the confusion?"

And every time I've scorned Nader for helping us to have more Bush people have laughed at me for being foolish and thought me bitter.

They're sure right about the bitter part.

You're right. On the other hand, I will posit that the 2000 election in FL was so rigged that those votes for Nader didn't mean as much as you think. But I've had this rant before.

I truly believe that Katherine Harris, (who was in charge of the FL elections that year,) and her boss, Dubya's brother, would have found a way to throw FL to Dubya as a present, even if Nader hadn't been involved.

The day "liberal" stops being synonymous with "stupid," we might make progress.

At least it wasn't "Property of KBR."
