   I had to comment on this. Too bad they aren’t coming to Texas. They would do well in Austin but nowhere else. I think they will all be doing nothing more than preaching to choir so what is the point? Oh I forgot….$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

   BTW the Bush gaffe was funny.

   Hey Brad, got to your site through the whole Andy Kaufman returns event (remember that night???)

   Anyway – just wanted to point out that Adam Duritz from Counting Crows offers up some nice words of support to John Kerry – and some great one liners for him to use as well:

   LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT APING JOHN WAYNE

   People who don’t listen to what other intelligent people have to say are simply ignorant people. I am going to be voting for Senator Kerry. I feel that he is a serious intelligent man who will deal with the problems we are facing in a thoughtful manner. These are complex problems. They demand complex solutions. I am not one of those people who believes President Bush is an evil man. I think that’s silly. I just think he views the world in terms too simplistic to combat the actual problems we are facing. And I think he puts his trust in men who view politics as a means of retaining power rather than actually solving problems. I don’t think we need people who "act tough" and project themselves as "leadership types". Leadership is not about aping John Wayne. When did it become a presidential quality to be a "regular guy"? When did intellectualism become a dirty word? I want a president who’s smarter than me.
   It’s not enough for him to seem like a great guy to have at a BBQ. The media would have you believe these men are good or evil or cool or uncool. They want to paint these men as trying to pull the wool over your eyes. They want you to think the people who don’t agree with you are hicks or elitists or soft or tough or a million other bullshit generalizations that miss the point that these are all Americans just like you and me. We are a vast nation of many different types of people.
