maybe it has something to do with howard dean...but i'm a little tired of these candidates begging me for money. i'm subscribed to emails from obama and hillary, because i definitely prefer their styles of thinking over other's...and because i haven't really had the opportunity to subscribe to others. anyway, they've both started including big red donate buttons in their emails.

i don't know, but in the back of my mind i've never seen money as the answer to political problems. take dean for example, he broke all sorts of fundraising records and in the end most people just remember that stupid scream. (i have to admit for a moment i had it as my cell phone ringer, but it was kind of a "so what?" instead of poking fun). for the record, here is the non-mainstream dean scream. amazing thing, this youtube. sometimes.

when it comes to politicians, i think mayor quimby on the simpsons can be regarded as accurate. i do enjoy watching it all unfold though. the change that follows might be background noise or might smack us right in the face, but it's going to change.

anywho, my battery is almost dead, but since i'm talking about politics again i figure i'll mention this strange article. apparently obama wasn't even on the ballot in michigan? and here i was wondering why people who are no longer running are still on the ballot and getting voted for in texas....

these are the things i think of when i hear this rubbish about greatness...(unless they were talking about greatness in the field of mediocracy).
