    I love Garry Owen's post about the worshipful prairie dogs

    and Dennis Kucinich is right about why people don't vote. But I'm going to vote for the Democratic candidate (after voting my conscience in the primaries) and then I'm going to hold his/her feet to the fire about war and diplomacy, fair trade and corporate accountability, single payer health care (see Sicko), habeus corpus, civil rights - especially in the area of police powers, and rebuilding America's infrastructure. Among other things.

    I've been a bitch toward my rather wonderful congresswoman if she doesn't get it right - rarely, and toward Nancy Pelosi for failing us so often that it feels like years she's been there rather than only since the midterms.
