According to Dr. Tracy Alderman, a San Diego psychologist and self-

hurt themselves.

And 50% of American adults voted for President Bush. Seems the problem
grows worse.

I don't think the numbers will back up your statement that 50% of
American adults voted for Bush.

To be sure. Too lazy to look for the exact percentages (where is that
Towse when you need her?), but Gore won the popular vote, and the
second election may have been a plurality rather than a majority. And
I'm ignoring the adults who didn't vote because they were black and er
didn't appear on the rolls or something.

Fuckall difference anyway, it was the electors who elected the
fuckwit, and if not for the electors the chads would've.

We could rename the country Chad, but it's already been taken, and I'm
not sure a self-respecting third world nation would want to lend its
name to a country that doesn't have fair elections, anyway. I wonder
if they have hangings there.
