Happy Birthday Ralphie

Today is Ralph Nader's 86th birthday and I for one would like to wish him a happy birthday and thank him once again for taking those votes away from Al Gore in the 2000 election. Nader got 3% of the vote nation-wide and who knows how many votes in the closely contested (to put it mildly) Florida vote.

Thanks Ralphie. Don't hold your breath for a birthday card from Al Gore though.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

With so many people running for President on the Democratic side (and many of them not even "Democrats") it seems a little weird that Ralph Nader is not among them. I know he's 85 and the vigor of the campaign trail may be beyond him at this point but it would be nice to see Ralph... Heh Heh... Always remember that one man's punk rock is another man's pop... Wow - just wow... Firmly believe that the remaining Democratic Party debates should open with REM's Shiny Happy People (what they pretend to be) and close with the theme to Shaft (what they're trying to do to US taxpayers)...  "The life of wisdom must be a life of contemplation combined with action." - M. Scott Peck... Remember right after the fall of Baghdad when CNN personnel let it be known that while Saddam Hussein was in power that they had to have Iraqi "minders" to monitor what they said on air? And that these "minders" basically intimidated the CNN folks into pro-Saddam reporting? The Democratic Party doesn't even need "minders" to intimidate CNN on-air personalities into pro-Democratic Party reporting. And they wonder why their ratings are in the toilet...
