"John & John!"

John F Kerry named John Edwards as his running mate yesterday. Bummer for anyone who placed money on Megatron.
So, the John and John team is now off to the races and ready to knock Bush off his hill.

Now, I am not a political junkie like Drew (don't tell him about the intervention please), but I am a media junkie (which is why I choice the useless major I chose) which makes me quite aware of most things out there political. Armed also with a few of my own less mainstream webpages to cut through the what the media wants me to read. Anyway my long winded point is that I am not an expert on politics, but shouldnt't be the other way around?

I don't know I think Edwards looks better, speaks better, and has a better connection with the people. Kerry looks like he belongs in a used car lot hire pressuring college students into buying lemons. While Edwards looks like he might have just walked out of a Norman Rockwell painting.

I can only hope that now that the dream team is ready to go that perhaps Kerry can be more clear on who he is, instead of why we should hate Bush. Talking about how he feels on abortion recently is a step in the right direction. However, if he is going save the world like many liberals seem to think he will he should come up with some ideas how to turn things around.

Now do you think, Edwards would topple anyone over that was on the fence and take votes away from people voting for Bush? I mean most people voting for Kerry if that whacky dancing old guy from the Great Adventure commericals was his running mate.

Already, thinks are started to surface about Edwards shady lawyer ties, and how money may or may not have been legally rasised while he was in the primary. I don't have a link for that yet, and am too lazy to look for one now. However, if I get one I will put it here.


So, did the democrats use backwards logic here?

"Missing Cicadas"

For me the summer of cicadas has been really lacking in well Cicadas. I actually saw one last night at Megan's house (Liza's friend),however it's lifeless body was floating in a discarded planter pot.

Anyway I have a few theories of why I didn't see any of the buggers so far.


* They went to an area where the sports teams actually win. Hell they were underground for 17 damn years and not one team won a championship. I don't blame them


* They heard John Street already had too many bugs in his office.


* They didn't want to be out numbered by slot machines in Pennslyannia


* They didn't come to NJ, in fear of being horribly taxed. Of course all the benefits would go to Northern Jersey Cicadas.

* Suburban Sprawl in South Jersey has gotten out of hand so much the poor little guys can't find soil that hasn't been paved over. Jenna those noises you hear at night are thousands of Cicadas clawing at your newly built house in order to breath.

*They were eaten by "The Blob" of Egg Harbor


15 points for the first person that can explain the Egg Harbor Blob.

I had a planned to write a few on people's distain for AMerica(I started will finnish later this week) and a review on the TERMINAL. However, fatigue and laziness kicked in so I am going to run odds for the nomintaion of VP that John Kerry is supposed to name his running mate. So, this should be helpful for anyone placing bets. Keep any mind I am fairly tired so some of the selection might not make any sense.

John Edwards 3/1

Dick Gephart 5/1


Wesley Clark 6/1


Hillary Clinton 7/1 (I really wouldn't be surprised about this one at all)

10/1 Bill Cliton.


14/1 Bill Nelson


20/1 Howard Dean

25/1 John McCain

29/1 Al Franklin

35/1 Joe Liberman (I like the man, but the two would clash over too much. Might be a good way to go for the on the fence voters though.)

40/1 Micheal Moore



55/1 Megatron


66/1 Smarty Jones!


85/1 Mike Price


90/1 Andrew "Drew" Vogel


140/1 Ashley Olseon

240/1 Marlon Brando

350/1 Howard Dean


I would also like to say whoever can pick this (time is wasting it will happen first thing tomorrow it looks like) will be rewarded 10 Tucker's World points. Whoever has the most points as of Labor Day wins something cool!



We need to comment more on here! Why was there no comments about the poor pug?
