Vote For Kodos - Countdown: 13 Days
Just a minor reality check: the United States will be fine no matter which candidate wins. It has become a cliche that "this is the most important election of your lifetime"; I believe the War on Terror is the essential challenge of this next administration, and the next, and the next after that. But was not the election of 1980 important? Four more years of President Jimmy's rudderless humanism and it's endless malaise, or then Governor Reagan's radical anti-socialism? In a second term, President Bush will continue to believe that the best defense is a good offense; in elected, Senator Kerry will retreat to the blissful delusion of our 1990s foreign policy. Terrorists will continue to kill Americans either way, though one approach will prevent far more deaths than the other. No matter who prevails on November 2 (or later, if the Democrats' wet dreams of a flawed election are realized), America will still be a rich and prosperous country. America children will continue to grow up strong and healthy, and those same AYSO-raised children will continue to not care about the World Cup. We'll still be the only country that appreciated football. Big Pharma will continue to produce the majority of the world's life-saving drugs. The Congress will still be filled with self-interested idiots. It's important for you to vote, but it's always been important for you to vote.

Also, if you are of legal voting age, but choose not to exercise that right, I would perfer that you not sully this blog by reading it. Voluntary non-voters are scum.

Have a poker night.
Nothing is more discouraging than the current poker fad. It's completely ruined the game for me. I hate turning on ESPN and seeing the World Series of Poker. I used to love watching the movie Rounders and then playing a few rounds, but now the thought of playing poker disgusts me.
