Go see Ralph Nader speak at San Diego Public Library at 1 p.m. More here.
The Sleepless and the Stressful - I have always been shit at falling asleep. Ideally I would fall asleep at 11 p.m. every night. Instead, this is typically when I sit back down at my computer to read all the open tabs and unread emails that have accumulated throughout the day. The I check Twitter one ... - #

a vote for nader would be fine in california but i hope in states where it’s a “battleground” people will realize that voting for nader could swing the election to bush the way it did in florida in 2000
why? should we go see Nader?
In any neglected state, where no campaign money is dumped and where the winner is already decided, vote for the alternate. Its time for a three-party system by 2012.
Dude Oso, this electoral predictor fluctuates more than a bi-polar girlfriend!
Elena,
For the same reason you should go see Bush and Kerry and Badnarik and all the other candidates – to see what you think of their platforms and characters.
I was very very impressed by Nader, but during this election I won’t be voting for him. I think withdrawing all troops out of Iraq immediately is a terrible idea. Kerry’s view that we should get the international community involved makes much more sense to me. Set it up like Kosovo is.
For Californians who do want to vote for Nader, I think they should. Not in Ohio thought.
Elena, querida, you’re in one of the most important states for this election. I beg you – here on my knees, willing to send over a pack of fresh batteries – please, please, get out and do all you can to register voters (especially Spanish speaking voters who might feel intimidated to vote). Please also volunteer to monitor a polling station and make sure nothing wishy-washy happens.
I’ll cook for you whatever you want.
Revacito,
Um, isn’t “bi-polar girlfriend” redundant?
ZING!!
I too was very impressed with Nader
Osito,
I don’t need a fresh pack of batteries. I bought a large package on Sunday.
I don’t think you seem to understand though, Columbus, Ohio does NOT have citizens who only speak spanish. Latinos in Ohio are lingustically nothing like Latinos in Cali. I have not meet a single Latino citizen in Ohio who only spoke Spanish.
I worked at the polls a few years ago. I’ll write an entry about it.
I’ll also call the board of elections today.
BTW, if you stay on your knees I may not need my batteries. And I have a see through apron you can wear, no clothes underneath.
besos,
Elena
okay, I just called the board of elections and while the phone was ringing I remembered why it was I am not working at the polls. Elections are held on Tuesday, I work at the free medical clinic on Tuesdays. The clinic only meets 2 times a month and only on Tuesdays, if I don’t go to clinic, less people can be helped. I’ll promise to volunteer otherways, during the day of the election.
You still on your knees?
damn oso…how’s the view from down there?
I’d like to add that all of you are a bunch of misogynists.
