The Alterboy is very strange. Sticking together a
centrist Democratic governor and Prez candidate, a
disaffected populist pro-market but anticorporate
consumer advocate and protest politician, an
"anarchist" linguistics scholar abnd radical foreign
policy analyst with a multi-decade passionate
commitment to democracy and human rights . . .  and
_Stalin_, well, is just bizzare. Is the idea that if
you don't support Kerry, Clark, or Edwards you are (a)
a self-indulgent spoiler apologist for the Khmer Rouge
and Holocaust Revisionism who is also a enemy of human
freedom and an advocate of a single party dictatotship
and an unbridled secret police repression? Or what?
Spam, spam, eggs and Stalin indeed. Good catch, Louis.

mouth, Kerry, Clark, Edwards or Dean - ABB.)
