...can’t blame Moore. For the first time in my life, I too am strongly considering voting with my head, not with my heart. I’m considering voting for a guy (Clark) who I distrust personally (is it just me, or does it seem a little bit strange and unrealistic for a life-long Republican to turn into a progressive overnight?), think is too weak on almost every issue, and who, at the moment, doesn’t even seem politically competent enough to carry out a campaign, let alone run a nation...
...there's not enough of him there to like--but you can't look away.

...throbbing migraine that just won’t stop burrowing into your eye. And at a time like this, it’s best to have a scapegoat. But don’t pick on Grady Little for leaving Pedro in too long. And don’t blame Harry Frazee for trading Babe Ruth. Yes, the Red Sox were cursed on Thursday. But this particular curse was my doing. And no matter how many times I apologize, it won’t make it any better...
...Marriage Protection Week is a well-calculated aversion to the multitude of problems facing the Bush administration. Using the BGLT community as a scapegoat detracts the American public from issues such as the depressing economy and problems with post-war Iraqi development campaigns. By laying blame, the Bush administration can carefully maintain its popular support for the upcoming 2004 presidential elections, while marginalizing the BGLT community...
