The Vote

We can not have free government without elections; and if the rebellion could force us to forego, or postpone a national election it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us.

It’s not my country but I am very fond of and am protected under the wing of its liberty. Read the entire quotation from Lincoln on the importance of holding the 1864 election at this web site.

Seven Days

Regardless of your position on the election, this photo by Rick Manodik of the Toronto Star surely captures, with seven days to go to the vote, the uncertain place Canada’s third unelected Prime Minister in my adult life finds himself in. I particularly like the unfocused background. I wonder what Martin might think on seeing the photo.

I Apologize For This


Seen on Highway 62 at the Belleville strip

OK, I know I have a junior high sense of humour and I hope that someone who reads this in that riding votes for him just to make up for what a big loser I am in posting this. Being both Scots and a lawyer, I am tired of being the butt of stupid infantile moronic jokes and, so, I know I should have more respect, I should be more sensitive. I apologize to the candidate, his supporters, his family, his town, his cat…everybody. But I can’t help it.

…’cause all I want to know really is this…did they chant the last name over and over at the nomination convention?

The Sound of Clinton

So Bill has a book coming out next week that runs 1,000 pages. The

full audio release — running 41 CDs — will be released with actor Michael Beck doing the reading and Clinton providing the prologue and epilogue, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday.

41 CDs! I hope it come with a forehead shaped sticker with the word “nerd” on it.
