Oh please. You can't lead from your couch, with a beer in each hand and the popcorn bowl balanced on your growing gut. Just ask Gore. You need to get elected. That's the bottom line. And to get elected, you have to masturbate the bunch of jackasses that make up the wider populace. Once you're in office, you can effect change. That's the fucking fact, jack. No getting around it.

If you think what Cheney has done for gay people in this country is better than what any democrat (including Gore and now Kerry) would do once in office, then we need to stop talking about this altogether because it's a pointless conversation.

I'm watching MTP and Nader starts off announcing his candidacy and I, like most of you, say "fucking idiot." Then he unambiguously becomes the only candidate with the balls to stand up for equal rights and my relief was nearly physical that at least somewhere in this country is someone with some sense of right and wrong and the will to stand for it.

Interesting. Whenever Bush appears on my tv, my reaction
is physical as I TUAOM. Do you have a physical reaction when Bush says he wants to change the constitution to keep gays as far away from marriage as possible?

Great. God (but mostly just Bush) thanks you for it. Has he sent you the thank you for last time yet? I guess that $300 sufficed?
