A<\/span>fter one too many mornings of watching Kerry and Bush piss-fighting over Kerry’s war record, I was begging, desperately:
\nSomebody, Anybody \u2013 STOP THE TORTURE<\/em> of American Voters!<\/h3>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I wake up one early morning recently; as usual, my wife’s already awake and has NBC’s “Today” jabbering on the TV. <\/strong>In the thinning fog of my fading REM state I hear candidate John “Lurch” Kerry being interviewed, and he’s telling us how he plans to continue to uphold the corporate\/military agenda, after which a Bush campaign ad denounces Lurch for being “too leftist”. I think: jeezus, it’s too damn’ early for this shit. Lurch says he’ll keep doing what the Chimp started, and the Chimp accuses Lurch of being too leftist, it’s only 7:15am, and my brain is already hurting.<\/p>\n

Somebody, stop this torture. Somebody make it stop. Somebody, make…it…sto-oopppppp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
