One of my favorites from Michael Moore's "17 Reasons Not to Slit Your Wrists" e-letter that was sent out today:

6. Michigan voted for Kerry! So did the entire Northeast, the birthplace of
our democracy. So did 6 of the 8 Great Lakes States. And the whole West
Coast! Plus Hawaii. Ok, that's a start. We've got most of the fresh water,
all of Broadway, and Mt. St. Helens. We can dehydrate them or bury them in
lava. And no more show tunes!

Also, you should check out this site that allows you to apologize to the rest of the world. I think I'm going to make Cory take a picture with me and send one in tonight.

It's the little things that help give a perspective on the bigger picture and help keep you going. Anyway, I'll be back later today or tomorrow--remind me to tell you about the really good class discussion we had last night (I feel very priviliged to be able to sit in a classroom and talk politics for an hour --and no not everyone in there agrees with one another), the really nice birthday party and the really craptastic way in which I am now suddenly $226 poorer. Damn you City of San Francisco!
