1000th Post: Best wishes Kerry / Edwards and campaigners: Get out the vote!

I've been holding off posting my 1000th post for too long, hoping to write a reasoned essay. However there is so much to write about and the result has been that I haven't written anything for days, whether substantial or not.

So I am breaking my silence now so that I can break through the 1000th post barrier soon and get back to posting regularly and freely!

Best wishes to John Kerry, John Edwards, and all the good people working so hard for their election. Get out the vote. This election is important. Peel away from the Bush base the true conservatives who are disgusted with environmental looting, foreign adventurism, exploding deficits, and traitorous mis-use of intelligence (to name a few). Get undecided and wavering voters to vote Kerry on the basis of the economy among other issues.

Bless all you hard-working people! That includes John Kerry!

6. Maybe because Clinton wasn't the former CEO of Halliburton

.
and didn't have direct ties to the corporation's well-being?

Ya think?
