What's that say on the side?

Yeah, there's totally an 's' visible at the end of the world "belongs," so attempt at humor is a bit contrived. Also, All Your Base hasn't been funny in five years. So in conclusion, what the hell?

But also, it seems reasonable that Robbins would want to campaign for Edwards, since Edwards has more focus on the poverty stuff that my vague understanding of Robbins's political beliefs lead me to think he would be interested in, and it would just be a waste of his fame to campaign for someone like Kucinich.

I'm disappointed in Robbins. What a sell-out. He used to criticize the Democratic Party and now he's supporting its former VP nominee? They have only two reasonable, serious candidates: Dennis "my-wife-is-hot" Kucinich and Mike "Give'em Hell" Gravel (yes, I said "serious"). Did anyone see Robbins in that documentary with Phillip Seymour Hoffman about the 2000 election? Shawshank came off as a stereotypical Hollywood, out-of-touch, elitist prick who was SOOOOOOO sure of himself. He was pimpin' my man Nader at the time, talking about the worthlessness of the Democratic party. Screw him, we have Sean Penn.

Mike Gravel a serious candidate?

I'm still angry that so many celebrities supported Nader in 2000 rather than trying to influence the Democratic primary. How many of them immediately went into damage control or outright lied about their support of Nader when Bush was elected and set catastrophe in motion? Michael Moore is the big one that comes to mind but I know there were plenty of others.

When I take over, anyone who casts his ballot based on a celebrity endorsement will have his vote nullified, his chattels seized, and his wife sold into slavery. Then we will hound him to death.

Why? What do those celebrities owe you? Why do you feel they should support who you want to be president?

Whatever. Gore is for losers. The guy won, and yet he still managed to lose. Loooo-ser. Man, I wish I had Youtube clip of Robbins lecturing Hoffman. I remember it as being extremely condescending, and for some reason I recall Robbins having this devil-like goatee, or tiny beard. I wuz all like "omigawd, who is this jackass?" Then I remembered that I'm also a condescending a-hole Green Party member. Then I criticized myself for saying "omigawd" in my head, because that spelling is wrong everywhere, even in my own head.

Yeah, and the sad part is they keep the smug look on their faces when they are filling my coffee at starbucks.

I didn't say they "owed" me anything. All I said was many of the celebrities who supported Nader stabbed him in the back later.

Can you make an exception for me? When you seize Dennis' wife, would you just turn her hotness over to me? No need for the slavery deal. My tender heart just can't bear the thought of her being enslaved.

DRYou can always buy her freedom.

BTW, you've already discussed this with Mrs. DR, I presume...

No, I'll have to brave her marksmanship . . . or take on the red headed goddess as a domestic assistant, or something.

And maybe pre purchase a headstone.
