If I could, I'd vote for Kerry. I have 10 good reasons for doing this:

1) He's not Bush
2) He's not Bush
3) He's not Bush
4) He's not Bush
5) He's not Bush
6) He's not Bush
7) He's not Bush
8) He's not Bush
9) He's not Bush
10) He's not Bush

I believe I have expressed the opinion before that I would take Satan in a dress over Dubya for a second term.

This holds true. I just wish Kerry was a little more...well...alive? I mean the guy looks like he's been dead for three years. And that face. Do you remember the scene in Starship Troopers where Zander got his brain sucked out by that smart bug? Well Kerry kinda looks like that...

But I'd still vote for him. Because he's not Bush. Nader is the moral choice, but then, a vote for him means one less vote for Kerry, which means Bush might get back in.

Here's an extract from So Long, and Thanks for all The Fish (Douglas Adams) that may help explain all this. To set the scene, a huge robot lands in downtown London, killing people, doing billions of dollars of damage - and announcing �I come in peace, take me to your lizard�

��It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see��

�You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?�

�No,� said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, �nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.�

�Odd,� said Arthur, �I thought you said it was a democracy.�

�I did,� said Ford. �It is.�

�So,� said Arthur, hoping he wasn�t sounding ridiculously obtuse, �why don�t people get rid of the lizards?�

�It honestly doesn�t occur to them,� said Ford. �They�ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they�ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.�

�You mean they actually vote for the lizards?�

�Oh yes,� said Ford with a shrug, �of course.�

�But,� said Arthur, going for the big one again, �why?�

�Because if they didn�t vote for a lizard,� said Ford, �the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?�

�I�ll look. Tell me about the lizards.�

Ford shrugged again.

�Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happened to them,� he said. They�re completely and utterly wrong, but someone�s got to say it.�

�But that�s terrible,� said Arthur.

�Listen, bud,� said Ford, �If I had one Altarian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say �That�s terrible� I wouldn�t be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin. But I haven�t and I am.
