It looks like all three Nachzen kids are trying to fly nonrev today. I hadn’t heard from Sydney, so I figured her flight from Memphis to JFK was going well, then my phone rang. It was Kelsey, who was trying to fly from JFK to Orlando, and was concerned because Sydney called him. From Scranton, PA. It turns out the weather was really bad in JFK.

If I were political scientist, perhaps I could have titled this post, “Why our Democracy (Republic) Sucks”, but I don’t know why. There are complaints about the two-party system which are well-founded, but I don’t think that’s it. The biggest problem is probably more closely related to television news than anything. In any case, it looks like I won’t be voting for a presidential candidate in 2008. I spent awhile trying to find one I could vote for. Clinton voted for the Patriot Act, Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act, No Child Left Behind Act, the Secure Fence Act, favors…
