Well, on this we can agree. Far from canceling the election, BushCo needs it
and will make it one of the nastiest, foulest campaigns ever. The fact that
the Repubs have shamelessly moved their NYC convention back to coincide with
the third anniversary of 9/11 should be as big a tip-off there is. And will
Dean & the Dems blast BushCo for this cynical move? Will they say that
BushCo is trying to turn nearly 3,000 dead into posthumous Repubs? That the
GOP may as well copyright the numbers "9/11"? I have my doubts, but if done
right it can be done.

Anybody see Gore Vidal on Charlie Rose last night? He sounded very Grimesian
in his outlook for the US.
