Happy CP Day – it’s a great day and a better song.
It is also TeemKuntz’s birthday, so in honor of that lovely event, here’s one of his / our favorite topics: “In the current election, Nader is the sole presidential candidate you’re likely to hear about (now that Dennis Kucinich has dropped out) who stands forthrightly for adopting a single-payer solution to the health-care crisis, a stance universally regarded as politically impractical. But single payer is the only solution of much practical value in the real world, as evidenced by the experience of nearly all advanced democracies. If Nader does no more in the 2008 election than oblige major-party candidates to consider that stubborn reality for five minutes, he’ll have done us all a big favor.” More at Slate.
Chicago blogger and, as far as I can tell, possessor of awesome, Nikkos seems to endorse (rather more eloquently than I) my stance on getting involved in ways other than voting. I should take my own damn advice.
And in less seriousness — because couldn’t we all use some lightness to take our minds off those Ohio / Texas results? — for once I can say I can’t agree with the FCC more.
