I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man
He says he’s been down this road more than twice
He was high on intellectualism
I’ve never been there but the brochure looks nice
Jump in, let’s go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,
These are the days when anything goes
Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

Thanks for the smiles.
In 1988, Michael Dukakis left the Democratic National Convention and went back to doing the job he had and there is a strong case to be made that, because he did, he lost. Democrats learned their lesson. Winning is the only thing and you have to convince people that you want to win and in this country that means taking the money and saying the same vacuous nonsense (because you want to offend as little as possible) day after day for month after month without respite. The main men of the last three winners have been Lee Atwater, James Carville and Karl Rove. Such are the trivial times in which we live.
As I’ve said before, this will be decided late (as in 1980) and it will be decided on whether or not Kerry can close the deal. All he and his supporters have to do right now is show the folks that they want to win and not make any really big mistakes. So far so good.
98 days to go…and I’m a little bit closer to feeling fine
