the black dog's got me again...
Or should that be 'still" ?
Anyway I seem to have run out of rant for now. The American elections will happen next Wednesday, and after that, no matter who wins, it'll be Big Business as usual. The rich will continue to blame the poor for being poor and then exploit them mercilessly. The middle class will continue to suck up to the rich (that's what being an "aspirational" is all about, right?) "The war on terror" will create five new "terrorists" for every one they kill. Fascism will become the new global ideology and bloggers like me will finally give up or get locked up for newly defined Thought Crimes or for boring people to death.
I've got a feeling that this blog will be sporadic and perhaps even different from now on...
Remember,if Bush wins, and I think he will, don't get too depressed. It was never going to get that much better under Kerry anyway... Happy Prozac popping, people...

I wonder what the food will be like...
In the place that you envisage, such a menu item would not be available... :-)
Stock up on your post-election Prozac requirements.
I think I'll need something stronger than prozac to survive this election.
If you suffer from 'black dog' does that make you a Winston Schurchill wannabe? Hey how's that ALP turnabout on--everything! And conscriptio is the sleeper in the US poll...
SAYING: "If you are down and out. Lift up your head and shout: I'm down and out!"
Me? I'm chirpy. 'Cause it is a good day for the cynics and cynicism and a dose of the black dog can';t co-exist.
Dave, it would appear that my brand of cynicism not only allows for depression, but might actually contribute to it. :-(
This is a surprising assessment of the candidates from a close friend of the right in Australia:

Yes, I'd read that article. I usually skip Shehan's right wing propaganda, but this one looked odd, so I read it. Is he on the verge of doing a contra-Hitchens?
MF, have you and I met?
Yes.
MF
MF, to which of the (2) questions did you answer "yes"?
If it's the latter, I'm flattered that you've bothered to read my rantings.
