John Kerry and George Bush need to stop harping on military service during the Vietnam war. We all know that Kerry volunteered to go to Vietnam and spent four months there. We all know Bush was in the National Guard.
It was 30 years ago. Many of the voters they’re trying to court weren’t even born yet.
Get over it. It’s history. What’s important is what they are doing now, what they are planning for their country.
I’m tired of reading all this nonsense about medical exams, Swift Boats, and Cambodia. And I’m sure I’m not the only one.

good god you’re not the only one. What the hell are they going to do in Iraq? with the economy? international relations? etc. etc.
I went to see Kerry speak in NYC a few weeks ago. Not exactly inspiring, to say the least. Doesn’t mean I won’t vote for him. Doesn’t mean I’ll enjoy it in the slightest.
ugh. And the Republicans are coming this weekend too. The city is already in lockdown.
(Can you tell I’m a wee bit frustrated? sorry to dump on y’all. stupid American politics. stupid American politicians…)

I just read a long piece about Singaporean self-censorship and politics, so being a wee bit frustrated is no bother coming from you, Orchid… (o:
