Thanks, John.

Glad to see that Kerry saw the writing on the wall and chose not to drag the election out like Gore did four years ago. Of course, the numbers this time probably had a lot to do with it. Good to see that one democrat puts the nation ahead of his political career...

Edwards however, sounded like he's already running for 2008. He'll have to get past Hillary first.

You know...most of that stuff you talk about are things that people should be PROVIDING FOR THEMSELVES instead of waiting for a handout from Uncle Sugar. How about HARD WORK for a change? Get off your fat, lazy ass, put down the bong and make something of yourself instead of blaming George Bush for all your f@#* ups!
