The Hairy Truth

If we are going to actually have an election in 2008, I mean, assuming there isn't another terrorist attack, and/or we don't invade/attack another country (Iran!?), and the powers that be don't suspend the constitution for our protection, and declare martial law and send guns and tanks to subdue us, if we are actually allowed to sort of practice our little democratic experiment once more, (count the votes, all of them!), there are actually at least three candidates on the Democratic side that at least for the moment look better than contemptible...or no, I mean, they actually seem to be pretty good candidates (besides my favorite possibility - Al Gore)...in no particular order their names are: Obama, Clinton and Edwards.

Any one of them would be a breath of fresh air in the fetid swamp of Washington...

Unfortunately, we seem to have campaigns that resemble some kind of fucking student council election, or some wacky popularity contest based on hair, and teeth and face paint... anyway, I love this little video from the Edwards campaign on the subject of hair with some images that kind of highlight some of our more pressing issues...is there hope for this bloated, dying beast? What would the Cowsills say?
