[lbo-talk] David Harvey: another Marxist falls to the liberal virus

[Shane Mage]

Justin, you live in Illinois, a solidly Dumbocratic state.  If your
support for Kerry-pledged electors could conceivably make a
difference to the electoral outcome in Illinois, then Ubu has
no need to cancel or falsify the election--he's back with a
landslide.  Chicagoans may hope that the Cubs get back to the
World Series, but that doesn't mean anyone in his/her
right mind should make a financial contribution to the Chicago 
Tribune Corporation.  I hope you're not really serious about hope 
that Ubu
gets dumped requiring effective support for the Dumbocrats, because 
then you'd have to move to Missouri.
