Stop The Madness

Okay folks the time for fun and games is over with. Let's all sober up and come to our senses shall we?

The John Eastman ride has been whimsical and refreshing up to this point. Although when you read lines like this from Mark Steyn you really have to wonder if the better man won that contest.

"This election is about the future of the country," he said. Howard Dean and John Kerry and Wes Clark also say it, but Edwards says it better: Dean says it angrily, and Kerry says it groggily, as if he's in danger of falling asleep midway through the sentiment, and Clark says it tetchily, usually in response as to why he's claiming he's always been against the war when in the Times of London last April he gave the full Monica to Bush and Blair for their tremendous military victory.

But the voters wanted Eastman and they got Eastman. Now with over 1000 votes cast, Eastman leads Lileks by two slender tallies for the top spot.

No offense to John Eastman, but when it comes to radio he's no James Lileks. Lileks is hosting Hugh's show tonight. Three hours. Solo. Well, technically he'll have Duane with him but unless he wants to turn the show into 'all NASCAR all the time', he won't go to that shallow well too often. Can you imagine three hours of John Eastman? Neither can I.

As someone who knows a thing or two about what can happen when people don't take their right to vote seriously (see Jesse Ventura, administration of), I'm asking our readers to pause for a moment and carefully consider what they're voting for before they click. Do the right thing. Vote for Lileks.
