the cinnamon peeler's wife

i am fairly sure that few, if any, readers of the new yorker are voting for bush. but the editors just published a nice and concise summary of the failings of the bush administration. read it and you will get a good sense of how so many disparate people are anti-bush (from gay rights folks, pro-environment activists, mothers of soldiers, to anti-war people, immigrants, the poor, to anybody with a conscience). i am not always a fan of the new yorker's foreign policy angles, but this article is worth a read.

as the observation of one erudite writer in this here blogosphere said: Read this. It'll make you smarter and angrier, and there is nothing more dangerous than smart, angry people.

oh one excerpt: "Bush has said more than once that Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas are his favorite justices. In a second Bush term, the Court could be remade in their images." now do you really want to read more opinions from scalia/thomas types, come on just vote for kerry to give law students a break. (a more than realistic fear with rehnquist suffering from cancer)

gonna see kerry and springsteen right here on campus this thursday! can we hear it for The Boss!

sidenote: Go Red Sox. they deserve to win, 2-0, with the third game in the series tonight. Curse of the Bambino be damned.
