Blame Monica!

Dear friends, For the past week I have suffered this unbearable guilt that I may have put George W. Bush in the White House. I thought back to the time I first met with Ralph Nader and, secretly, we hatched The Plot. Our goal? To make this country suffer, suffer, ... continue reading

The Presidency -- Just Another Perk

Dear Governor and President-in-Waiting Bush: This has to be the first time in our history that a candidate who is losing BOTH the popular vote AND the electoral vote insists on being anointed President of the United States. I can understand why you expect this title to be yours. You ... continue reading

The Elderly Jews of South Florida ... and 62 Years Ago Tonight

Dear friends, There was something about yesterday's demonstration in front of the courthouse in Palm Beach County that profoundly moved me:  hundreds of elderly Jewish citizens, many in tears, demanding, begging for someone to listen to them.

Stop Bush's Theft of the People's Will!

Dear friends, It's after 5am on the East coast and things couldn't be more insane. At 2:20am, they declared Bush the winner. Gore called Bush and conceded. One hour later, all hell broke lose. Suddenly, Bush's 50,000 vote lead in Florida had dropped to 500! Gore, getting ready to take ... continue reading

Just In: Bush or Gore May Win!

Dear friends, It's a cliffhanger! From my vantage point -- and, hey, whadda I know? -- I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that.... EITHER BUSH OR GORE IS ABSOLUTELY GONNA WIN! And when they do, just as soon as those votes in Florida are recounted and/or challenged ... continue reading

A Final Election Day Letter

How Gore Can Win

Dear Gore Voters or Those Frightened Enough to Vote for Gore: Thank you for your 20,000 e-mails. Please consider this letter my olive branch to you.

Three Strikes and You're Out, Mr. Bush

An Open Letter to Governor Bush

Dear Governor Bush, It's been awhile since we've talked. I believe your last words to me were, "Go find real work!" You kidder, you! That very night, it was you who found real work for yourself by executing your 117th human being in Texas. How DO you do it?! Actually, ... continue reading
