From Russ Josephs:
This election had nothing to do with values or a poorly run Kerry campaign. The Democrats were victims of massive voter fraud via electronic voting machines and other methods.

Our scary prediction for the RNC’s choice in the 2008 presidential campaign:
JEB BUSH

We know that people keep whispering the name Rudy, but a pro-choice candidate would force the Religious Right to boycott the vote.
I hope we’re wrong.
This article from Newsweek sums up how we feel:
“Liberalism is dead. Liberal internationalism is dead. The Democratic Party is dying. There is no center to speak of in American politics anymore. America is now a “Red State” nation that is totally out of synch with Europe and the rest of the world — embracing religious fundamentalism, reactionary values on gay marriage and other social issues. America under a second Bush presidency will continue to flout international opinion, “pre-emptively” making war on countries as it sees fit. A new Dark Age looms.” continue
Our next post will feature bunny rabbits and candy. We all need to feel better.

The moon turned red a few days ago and now it looks like Bush is getting another term. Can anyone say Apocolypse?
Let’s not forget about the other depressing results from yesterday:
Eleven States Approve Gay Marriage Ban
“Eleven states passed ballot measures banning gay marriage last night. Georgia and Ohio went furthest, banning all domestic partnership benefits for same-sex couples.”

It’s time for NY to secede from the union.

Le Tigre played a sold out Halloween show last night at Irving Plaza. Even though they signed to a major label, it was great to see that they are still really fucking cool. Kathleen took the stage dressed as Orphan Annie. She looked hot as hell in a huge red afro. Adrock was there sans costume. So was Joan Jett. The crowd couldn’t get enough and it was great to see that, despite mixed reviews for the new record, the band can still actually get hipsters to dance. They closed with a cover from Footloose wearing matching anti-Bush dresses. Great show and no one is cooler than Kathleen Hanna.
