Back from lazy yet active Sat. with onstar and bigfinedaddy. Zonked here at midnight. And on a Saturday, too! Seems earlier, since the Red Sux v. Evils is going to go on until dawn at this rate. What is it, like 17 to 6 now? Sheesh. Poor hot Johnny. Down three games to none. Yeah, maybe you could say they're just setting it up to be a bigger comeback (uh. huh.), but I ain't even hoping any more. They win 3 in a row themselves, I'll start hoping again.

Red Sux, indeed. Last night was too much. Ended up being 19 to 6. Fuck.

The way it feels like that means Bush will win is that the Yankees are the Republicans of baseball. They have the money. They buy what they want; they have the power. We like to think the have-nots can have our little moments, but we're usually wrong, and ultimately dominated. The best we can hope for this year is that the group of moneyed people who have a slightly less Darwinian view of the great divide of capitalism get in there and throw us a bone or two.

In baseball terms, it'd be like the Yankees losing one before they slam the door in our faces.

Now who's sounding pessimistic?

Voter reform is what to fight for, hon. IRV, proportional rep. It's the only way we're going to get more than that quickly shrinking fucking inch.

Of course, that isn't gonna help the Sux at all tonight ...

Just got off the phone with upsidedownblue---he's so glass-half-full, you know? He almost has me convinced Kerry's got the edge.

E. had a good point the other day, after returning from England and having been looking at multi-party politics a bit: there's a down side to the system opening up. Yer way lefties, sure, get more play, but so do your reactionary fascist nationalist scary types---and they appeal directly to the dark side within humanity. A powerful force!

It's true. Everyone would have more of a voice, including the icky folk. But, as denkedran mentioned in responding to my rant of a few days ago, those without a majority have to work together to form coalitions and all. It seems a better way, in general. The Greens have done a lot in Germany.

And the dark side is running this country right now, so what would we lose?
