Can you believe it's exactly two months until the 2004 Presidential election? Please please please don't let Bush be reelected. He just doesn't deserve it. He's done so many bad things to the country. And we need a more balanced voice in our government. I don't think Bush is capable of leading.
Here's what Kerry had to say about the 'misleading' shots leveled against him so far in the campaign...(from an email from http://www.moveonpac.org)
After one of the ugliest and most hate-filled conventions in recent history, John Kerry didn't waste a moment in answering President Bush's speech last night. He was on the air minutes after the President finished, delivering one of his boldest speeches to date to a midnight crowd in Springfield, OH.
"Let me tell you what I think makes someone unfit for duty," he said. "Misleading our nation into war in Iraq makes you unfit to lead this nation. Doing nothing while this nation loses millions of jobs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting 45 million Americans go without health care makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting the Saudi royal family control our energy costs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Handing out billions of government contracts to Halliburton while you're still on their payroll makes you unfit. That's the record of George Bush and Dick Cheney. And it's not going to change. I believe it's time to move America in a new direction; I believe it's time to set a new course for America."
Doesn't that sound like a breath of fresh air?
On the other side of life, orgo sucks. Major wind. I don't know how any of those crazy med school students got through it while taking other classes. Over the course of the weekend I spent abotu ten hours doing homework, which may not sound like a lot, but that's how long it took me to get through one chapter...and I don't understand it that well. I can only hope that the teacher goes through some more stuff at the end. The sad thing is that most of this is review...I had it all before, oh, six years ago. Ah well. I honestly can't find any way to be optimistic about it. The book is pretty, I guess...but that's the only redeeming quality. Anyone know how to rank compounds in order of acidity? Yuck.
