So long, suckers!

C. Park Wanted Page Where's a homicidal quick-on-the-draw cop when you need one?

Eh... maybe it's not such a big deal which country he grows up in.


Limbaugh's choice for CA Governor is Victorious!
(or Was it all you had hoped for or was it Lesser?)

A month before the elections and Rush Limbaugh was telling listeners they should vote for the "lesser of two evils". In one fell swoop, one of the nations most listened to radio personalities once again demonstrated his complete uselessness while proving that bad ideas die hard. The Lesser of Two Evils Theory should have been debunked once and for all in 1996 when Clinton didn't need your vote and Dole couldn't use it but it's apparently alive and well. Limbaugh, supposedly critical of Republicans, still wanted them to be victorious in the congressional elections this fall. But governors don't vote for impeachment. So, according to Rush, we all should have been voting for Gray Davis, right? Are you happy now?

Maybe it's time for a new approach to battling this LOTE (Lesser Of Two Evils) Theory (whose drawback is evident in it's very name), which continues to swing the balance of power back and forth between socialist scumbags and fascist scumbags. We need a new project, call it Operation Buddy System or My Evil Twin or something like that. The idea of voting for the less evil candidate who "has a chance to win" is to prevent the more evil one "who has a chance" from winning. Many voters who would like to cast their vote for someone they would like (a third party candidate) don't, and instead vote against the one they like least. But not everyone who has managed to get as far as realizing that the two major party choices are evil comes to the same conclusion on which one is the "lesser". So, still, just like an old married couple where one spouse always votes the same party line (Republicrat or Demogogue) and the other spouse always votes the other party line (Depublican or Reprobate), they cancel each other out. Ever wonder how many of these LOTE votes are out there? What if there are so many canceling each other out that if cast for a third choice they could swing an election? Solution: Everyone who's making a "lesser" choice can register to be matched up with a canceling partner. Then, realizing their one vote won't do or prevent any harm, together, those two votes can be freed up and cast together for good instead of evil.

Around the World in Sports: From the Jaws of Defeat

What's wrong with this picture?
Look at all that cargo space. They could have fit a lot more politicians in there!

What's wrong with this first show?

October 23, 1998. "Pictutre" (sic) this: Guests Senta and Sabine Antonson talk about getting their SF/Fantasy story "Circle of Forever" published while Edward Bowers, in dire need of a hair light, sits in his tennis shoes and scratches his nose. One false start, misspelled title, bad cold reading, and wrong closing later and it wasn't until after seeing a tape of the show for the first time that I realized they didn't put my (this!) website/homepage in the credits!
