Adam Gessaman has a lovely quote up on his blog but if you missed the debate on Friday, then you might want go to the New York Times. As they’ve got a transcript as well as an article doing fact check on the issued that were covered. They also have a video of the debate. Note: The video requires you to have Macromedia’s Flash Player version 6.0 or higher installed. I don’t have that installed currently so I don’t know if there are any other requirements to view this but I’ll wager it shouldn’t be attempted over dial-up.

I did not vote for you in the last election and I’m not voting for you in this one. As such your telemarketers calling my house encouraging me to vote for you are wasting their time. The postcards and flyers that are being sent to me by your campaign likewise are a waste. So thank you for helping the Kerry/Edwards campaign by spending your marketing dollars on somebody who will never vote for you. I look foward to seeing you pack your bags and leave the White House.

That is all.

Before this horrid bit of legislation got passed; I was against it because I knew it was only a matter of time until the government was going to abuse it. Then like many people, I got distracted by my own life and forgot about it for a while because nothing was happening with it that affected me. Today, I happened across a link to Ian Spiers’ Brown Equal Terrorist website. The crap that Mr. Spiers had to go through is unfortunately all too believable and to me just proves that the USA PATRIOT Act should have never been passed.

The USA PATRIOT Act is an abusive law that gives the government excessive powers and as should have been expected by our representatives it was abused to harass an innocent U.S. citizen. Why was he harassed? Because there are still petty & shallow minded [insert explictive of your choice here] out there that think if you’re not a good, clean white-boy then you must be up to no-good.

Oh and for the record:

  • I am a white guy (part Scottish even).
  • I like to think of myself as an amatuer photographer and have taken courses at my local community college.
  • I carry a camera with me everywhere I go, but don’t take as many pictures as I’d like because I have nasty suspicions that somebody’s going to get the wrong idea of what I’m doing.

One of my co-workers sent me this list of campaign slogans that Bush/Cheney could use. I found it amusing, so here it is:
