I'm excited to be exploring the brand new, uncharted waters of net.art! It's not often you get to be a part of a revolution! I'm excited to see what kind of unprecedented discussions we'll have, and what language we'll have to invent to have those discussions! LOL!

What are you going to do? Move to Florida and convince people on a
daily basis? What about Ohio?

I'll be somewhat surprised and relieved if we get four more years. I
would prepare for the very real possibility that at some point in the
next couple of years, Pakistan, Iran and North Korea will drop a few
nuclear bombs on some American cities and call it a day.

Bombs over Baltimore...

Re: fuck Bush


This is terrible on so many levels.

First, to all those people who toiled hundreds of hours to get out the
vote and get Bush out of office, it sends a clear message: "Don't
fucking bother." Many of these people will disengage from the political
process altogether. Many others will be radicalized by their anger.

Also, even though we registered record numbers of young voters and
produced a massive turnout, it still wasn't enough. That may mean that
the young voters turned out to be far more conservative than they have
been in the past. So fuck Bush AND young neocons.

Bush himself has admitted that if he were elected, it would only be a
couple years before he starts going "quack, quack." The dash for a
successor will make Bush a lame duck president.

Let the rioting and looting begin...

To me Bush sounded more like the 10 year old trying to convince a 30
year old that Santa Claus exists.

He was so whiny!

I liked the cubist splitScreen that most networks were cutting in&&out
of -- fractured images of multiple Bushes, multiple Kerrys, random arms
flying into the frame... nice...
