Holy John Hoyt! That's the scariest thing I've seen this Halloween.

No Vote I'm going to be Istanbul next week, so I won't be here to vote. I'm not going to fill out an absentee ballot, though. I'm not voting. Deliberately. The election won't do anything but secure a false sense of connectedness from those who do vote to the oligarchy that continues to exploit us. I'm not saying voting doesn't matter. It does--to the pundits who want to talk about it, the networks who amp their ratings through it, the ad makers who collect the money poured in to the campaigns, the corps with enough money to buy their members of congress (who seem to get more expensive the more worthless they become). Voting matters to all those circulating facebook injunctions to vote, telling us to tell our students to vote. Really? We should lie to them and try to get them to feel that this is change they can believe in? That their choices between fascists, oligarchs, and idiots are choices about what's best for the country? No. The guy running for re-election in my district is a bad guy blue dog. He's running against a far right nut job. Blue dogs are already hurting the Democrats. No surprise there--they are basically Republicans who caucus with Democrats in order to screw them. I'm not going to hold my nose and vote for him this time. I prefer not to vote at all. No candidate for me, no vote. The dominant choices for governor are Andrew Cuomo and a nut job--the homophobe...
