John/John

I suppose John Edwards is as good a choice as any for John Kerry's running mate. In all honesty, it really doesn't matter much to me on a "big picture" sort of level. For practical purposes, it does seem as though Edwards gives Kerry the best chance of beating George W. Bush, at least compared to any of the other potentials save John McCain. It is disappointing that both Kerry and Edwards voted to authorize the invasion of Iraq, but at least they're arguing that Bush took that authorization and royally fucked everything up. Better to make a mistake and learn from it than to make a mistake and stick to your guns as Bush and company have done.



I was out of the blog scene when I saw Fahrenheit 9/11, but I want to strongly encourage anyone, regardless of political leaning, to see this film. If you disagree with Michael Moore's politics, there is still valuable, factual information to be learned from it. Just ignore the spin. On the other hand, if you agree with Moore's politics as I do, enjoy yourself!
