"That's defeatist talk. Vote for me and see real change."
- candidate x, y and/or z.
it would take a leap of faith but we seem to lack such public resources
Randal,
word verification: "restiv," appropriate given our lifestyle.
I'll just have to wait until the water runs out in Arizonastan. Then things will really get interesting.
dmf,
said political cartoon is from 40 years ago. Looking through these, it doesn't feel like the '70s were any different from now: rising commodity prices, economic woes, unemployment, sucky leadership, bad schools, ill-advised military ventures, political posturing. One can't help but feel like we've been stuck in neutral for a long time.
