I received this in my email today.

I’m sure it’s no shock I’m a registered Democrat, and I’m really having a hard time deciding who I’m going to vote for come March 4. It’s an interesting (and pretty thrilling, really) field of candidates. American Apparel decided to weigh in on my choice via email this morning: Read more!

With the multiple hits professional sports took in PR this year; due to steroids, dog fighting and such; it was really nice to hear Joey Harrington on Wait, Wait! Don’t Tell Me the day before the Bowl of Football Superiority. Taking an(other) opportunity to show that he’s better than Michael Vick and give the NFL a QB role model they can point to and say “a great athlete AND a smart guy”, Harrington answered questions about Smurfs (who will be celebrating their 50th anniversary in October.) He correctly answered 2 out of 3 questions for the sequence “Not My Job”. At Wait, Wait! Don’t Tell Me, that makes him a winner.

What’s a president to do when he likes to keep secrets, but has been handed a veto-proof bill that will only help expose more secrets? Easy-peasy, just don’t fund it!

After spending billions on what will probably go down in history as America’s worst reason for war, Bush wants to try making up for the massive debt he’s accumulated by presenting a “fiscally responsible” budget that just happens to not provide funding for an otherwise universally approved office of government oversight and continuing the GOP attack on Public Broadcasting. The former is further reinforcement in my belief that “open government” is a pseudonym for “anti-GOP”, and the latter is pressure from big business to clear the way for removing the public interest responsibility that commercial broadcasting now bears (when IMO it should instead be extended to “new media” formats like cable and satellite.)

Hopefully, congress can clean up the president’s mess and make sure that the things America wants find funding.
