Consisting of autobiographical notes on the development of the author's belief, A Confession
 TO MAKE.

Convinced that Bush had taken America down the road to ruin, I Marveled that anyone but a millionaire or an ignoramus IGNORAMUS, practice. We are ignorant. This word, which in law means we are uninformed, is written on a bill by a grand jury, when they find that there is not sufficient evidence to authorize their finding it a true bill.  could stand behind him in 2004.

WHY DO THEY LET STUPID PEOPLE VOTE?

WHY NOT? THEY LET STUPID PEOPLE BECOME PRESIDENT.

In the end, I could laugh at Bush and his supporters] all I wanted. They didn't care; they were busy winning.

During the campaign, vice presidential candidate John Edwards talked about "two Americas," and sometimes I wish he were right, that there could be two Americas ...

One for them ...

! THAT'S 20 VOTES!

KERRY MUST WIN OHIO!

Like many who feared Bush, I went to bed that night not knowing for sure which way Ohio would break but with a sinking feeling That all my hopes depended on it.

IF THEY START FUCKING WITH ABORTION, I'M LEAVING THE COUNTRY.

Well, have a nice trip!

I figure, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
