| The Stranger Election Control Board wasn't in the mood to drink at local bars with the candidates (as we've done in the past); take them bowling (as we've done in the past); or even give them pop quizzes ("are you into ATM porn?") as we've done in the past. No, 2006 is fucking serious. Immigrants are the new gays; gays are the new Negroes; blood and bombs and terror plague the Middle East; climate change is scaring the shit out of everyone (including Al "God, I wish you'd listened to The Stranger and voted for me instead of Ralph Nader" Gore); and there's still no money for schools or transportation. ... |
