Stickers on traffic sign, Houston and Allen Streets. "Bush / Kerry 2004, Domination, Death, Deception." And my head hurts. This is a close visual representation of how listening to George Carlin interviewed on The Majority Report the other night made me feel. Carlin is as sharp and funny as ever, but pessimistic as all hell about the state of the world. Air America Place has the July 6th Majority Report show available for download.. 322

Carlin seems resigned to enjoy the fall of empire spectacle while it lasts. I’m not quite as dour as he, and am voting straight Democrat in November. Then we must hold the Dems feet to the fire in December. Any other choice feels like certain doom.
