Presidential Match

Found another Presidential Match site that has you rate various issues and, in a nice twist, at the end it lets you rank the general categories (ie: Social Issues, Security and International Policy, etc.) by personal importance. It then lists the candidates by how closely they match what you’re looking for: 1 Kucinich Score: 100%2

A break from politics today as there’s really nothing that needs to be said about Dubya’s speech last night. He obviously thinks he’s playing D&D or something because he’s certainly not living in the real world. (PS: Dubya may be a dope but the Democrats really need to come up with better than Pelosi and

Dear Dr. Dean

Dear Dr. Dean: I would like to offer my condolences on your embarassing third place finish yesterday in the Iowa caucuses. You really got yours handed to you on a platter. On the bright side, that sellout Gephardt took one square on the chin. There’s a line at the end of one of my poems

Kucinich, Edwards Make a Deal

Surprising development out of Iowa as Dennis Kucinich and John Edwards have reportedly struck a deal to support whichever of them gets closer to the 15% support threshold – the minimum required to receive delegates in the ridiculously complicated caucus system. (In simple terms: 14.9% or less = ZERO delegates, better make a deal!) Both

Pumpkin Seeds: 1/18/2004

1. How do you spell implosion? D-E-A-N. In less than 24 hours, the Iowa caucus will have its say and, despite the high-profile endorsements, the internet-driven fundraising, the months-long blessing from the media, Howard Dean’s campaign has hit a wall. Hard. It’s looking more and more like the Matrix than Lord of the Rings: a

Ta-da! Notice anything different? Picked up the design from Ellen Edgerton via Blogskins.com and tweaked it a bit for that angry pumpkin feel. Trimmed my list of blogs as it was getting rather unwieldly with more and more people I like getting in on the fun. (Hello Mara Jebsen!) There’s several other people I read

I’ll Be Voting For Wesley Clark / Good-Bye Mr. Bush — by Michael Moore I don’t usually give much creedence to political endorsements since most of them stem from self-serving agendas as opposed to personal beliefs, but this one stopped me in my tracks. I’m not a Michael Moore devotee – the self-proclaimed man of

When I got into Dungeons & Dragons back in High School, there were a number of other role-playing games I was familiar with – Gamma World, James Bond, Marvel Superheroes, etc. – and they all took place within fantasy worlds of some sort, past or future. Even James Bond, which took place in something resembling

Political Pumpkin Patch 1. Braun to Quit Presidential Bid, Back Dean Ah, Carol, we hardly knew ye! So much for her desire to “take the ‘Men Only’ sign off the White House door.” Be interesting to see how she spins her backing Dean. Can you say high-profile cabinet position? Wonder who the National Organization for

Puke-arama: Night 2! The fun never ends… And the snow is falling, and I’m cranky from a hectic day at work, and I’m exhausted from a lack of uninterrupted sleep. I do have several new comic books that I picked up at lunch, though, all but $5 of which were free thanks to my $20
