    My friend Adam gave me a good idea.

    He said that he was going to throw a great big wonderful party on election day. Maybe a wine tasting party, catered, or something equally fun and/or extravagant.

    But you can only get into the party if you bring your voters registration and your ballot receipt.


    I think I might do something like that.


    Sure, Hawaii voters have absolutely no influence on national elections. The winners are already decided before most people here even get to the booths. But our local elections count a lot, and i think people need some sort of motivation to become more educated and involved in their civic duties. If it takes coercion by throwing a big party, then why not?

    Oh yeah, about that, whatever happened to that deal where they were supposed to suppress the results until everyone voted so west coast el'ts would still think they made a difference in the election?

    That's an awesome idea.
    Does Hawaii still have a secession vote on the ballot? What's your opinion on all that stuff?

    how bout a parade to celebrate the end of all those horrible back stabbing commercials.

    How about not whining about a useless box that you choose to watch in the first place? alt.media folks, pounce!

    How about eating my big fat cock.
    i don't even own a TV but I know those commercials exist and any reason is a good reason for a parade.
    So, you know, how about eating my big fat cock.

    I've got my steak knife in hand, Jay... you sure you want me to go through with this?

    what sort of wine goes with Jay-cock, anyhow?

    Klingon blood wine? arghhh i just revealed my inkling for the Trek.

    Have you seen the Mastercard/Nader commercial......? Thats a good one and ironically MC is suing him.

    Hey Bell how was NYC? Did you give Mark a call?


By Isolde on Friday, August 18, 2000 - 09:36 pm:

    I haven't seen it, but I read the article. I think it's awesome someone skywrote "Nader" at the DNC.
    I think that the height of Trekkieism was reached when I saw the "Spock Bloc."
