SOUTHWARD, HO!

Speaking of The Guardian — see DEAR LIMEY ASSHOLES —
Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland writes about
having “the same queasy feeling” he had four years ago when he followed the
2000 presidential campaign around the U.S. of A. Only now, he
figures, the clash is about more than Republicans vs. Democrats, Bush vs. Kerry, right vs.
left. It’s “tradition against modernity, faith against reason. The true believers pitted against the
‘reality-based community.'” A friend of mine from northern California — Jennie D., who
tipped me to the column — has had it up to here with the true believers. So it’s Southward, ho!
She sends word that she and her ol’ man are shipping out to Florida for moveon.org. Come Election Day, “I’ll be on the phone
banks,” she says, “and he’ll be tooling around driving voters to the polls.”
