For some reason, the thought of Bush storming into someone's house in southwestern Ohio, completely wasted, is endlessly amusing to me. I think I laughed for a good five minutes when 2.0 and I were talking and I raised this possibility. 2.0, for her part, rolled her eyes.

Ron's wearing my Le Tigre shirt in this one. I bought it when I saw them play about a year ago with Jan and Lauren. The lady warned me that all they had left were mediums, but I can wear a medium OK, so I thought it would be cool. Little did I know it was an American Apparel medium - AA runs small. But not only that, it was an American Girl t-shirt - so this thing is really tight on me. And lavendar. But I wear it anyway.

Le Tigre has a new CD out, I found out when I picked up Dawn of the Dead last week. I didn't get it, opting instead for the Rock Against Bush v.2 comp, but as it turns out, a slew of CDs I want just came out. Le Tigre, there's a new Jimmy Eat World, a new Flogging Molly, and I just now found this out, evidently there's a new Me First and the Gimme Gimmes! Wow. How the hell the Me First CD got past me is a real stumper. I've lost the fastball. I don't deserve to have a website.

Everyone have a spooktacular Halloween, or anything of the sort? I spent my fourth consecutive Halloween at my friend Brittany's place. The glamorous Brit has an apartment with a balcony facing the beginning of the village parade route, and this party is the annual event to be at. It's really funny, actually - Brit's friends are all really pleasant, and I get along great with them all, and I see them only once a year. I oftentimes talk to this girl, Courtney, but never got around to it 'til I was on my way out the door last night.

Courtney: "Jeremiah! My annual friend!"

Me: "I know, what's up? I'm on my way out, though - I guess we'll talk next year?"

Courtney: "OK!"

Good times. Awesome costumes at the party, too, but unfortunately the ol' digital camera is none too effective taking pictures of the parade route, so my hopes to have a museum section about last night, they have been dashed.

O'Reilly settled on Friday - that's a shame, I really wanted to hear those tapes. Falafel!

Okeydoke, tomorrow's the big day. I want you to all go out there and vote. Anyone out there leaning towards voting for Bush, the Scourge of the Universe, please remember that I live in Brooklyn and work near Times Square, aka, a perfect target for a terrorist attack. I do not feel safer with that guy running things. I do not know that Kerry will do any better of a job in particular at preventing another attack. I don't think Bush has done too much on that front - the CIA and FBI are going to do what they're going to do, and it's not like Bush can even make it through a whole article in Sports Illustrated, let alone a security briefing, so I'm not going to chalk any success in the homeland defense area up to him. I'll just say that the simple act of Bush speaking drives countless Americans to want to kill. So imagine what it does to Arabs whose country has been raped time and time again by American oil companies? It's kind of the difference between having those skeezy little cartoon guys ripping up your big toe nail for a mascot, or Mickey Mouse.

To recap:

  • Bush = lifts your toenails, inspires people to blow shit up
  • Kerry = a goofy looking mouse in shorts, hopefully inspires people to blow shit up on a smaller scale and at a slower rate
  • Me = happy webcomic guy, lives in New York with his ladyfriend whom he loves very much, wants very little to die, wants to die even less so if it is caused by the election/re-appointment of the single worst president in history

Now, get ready to vote! If you need a voting anthem, this ought to do you pretty good.
