indecision 2004...
that's how the daily show is tagging the kerry v. bush slug-fest. you gotta dig bill maher's take on it. here's an exerpt.

"The true axis of evil in America is the brilliance of our marketing combined with the stupidity of our people. George Bush has $180 million to spend. With that kind of money, he could convince Americans to drink paint, and he probably will.
With enough money, you can convince people of anything. And that is what George Bush does. He is one of the most cynical presidents we?ve ever had, I believe, because with that kind of money, he plays on people?s fears, he plays on people?s ignorance, and he plays on people?s shortsightedness. "
