    @ Falhaar: Nothing will ever change?

    She gave a nice speech. I could give a fuck. Nothing will change. Same as it ever was. That's not snooty or cynical. That's realistic.

    So cute in your trendy cynicism... Were you voting for W over Gore and Kerry because "it doesn't matter, there's no difference between the major parties?" Sorry, but unless you think the last eight years were just fine and wouldn't have been any different under Kerry or Gore, you're just plain full of shit.
