here's a notion

so bush endorses mccain today and they do the usual slap-on-the-back-i've-always-loved-ya and we-gotta-beat-dem-dems bullshit. and then i read about medvedev and putin, and aside from the deep purple crap (that should have been warning enough; i have a picture taken with deep purple's third lead singer), it seems not entirely inconceivable to me that mccain would tap bush to be in his cabinet or to be his veep. you can imagine it, right? i can, and to bastardize—is it herzl?—if you will it, it is not out of reach.

i heard on the radio today some pro-g.o.p. voter who called obama with disdain a 'socialist.' hilarious, if it wasn't so depressing to be reminded of rampant myopia. i'm finding this whole race increasingly disheartening and, in true fashion characteristic of a democrat, i fear the republicans will win. in spite of the abysmal policies of recent years. it discourages me.

so what shall i do to forget? right now i'm going to meet my friend jzk for a drink. he's always good for a story about his vida loca. he writes about hockey. i once asked him to set me up with marc messier, but he refused (to be fair, twas a nonstarter). and still i am friends with him.
