OT: the election (was Re: popup update question)

On Tue, Nov 02, 2004 at 03:56:15PM -0500, after drawing runes in goat's blood,
John Esak cast forth these immortal, mystical words:

This isn't going to be a very political post, so don't sweat it.

Having seen both speak, having seen Bush's actions in the last four years,
and noting that Kerry isn't all -that- different in many regards, but also
having this kind of gut feeling of distrust whenever I see Kerry...well...
At least Bush is a -known- factor.  We already know what to expect.

So...issues almost entirely aside:

"The devil you know..."  

Especially in the middle of various volatile situations, the last thing
someone needs to do is introduce a possibly unstable and unpredictable
element.  "Let's just slide this rod of weapons-grade uranium into a
running nuclear reactor.  It -might- do some good...  What could happen?!"
(You'll get more out of that if you've watched "The World is not Enough".)

I just hope it -is- over tonight, one way or another.  I'm just looking
forward to all the smear (and even decent) campaign ads -ending- after
tonight on the telly.
