Loved Kerry's response to the minimum wage question...
Good Lord! I had no idea the minimum wage has been stuck at $5.15 for SEVEN years!
In Sweden there is no minimum wage, rather it is set by an industrial collective agreement - but it seems to work - at least there people who work full-time can easily support themselves...
It's funny how here "union" is a bad word...
Yeh - I view everything through the lens of how things work in Sweden... Sorry! Can't help it. :)
Another highlight was when Kerry pointed out that faith is about helping others... Thank you John! if all christians in this country realized this we wouldn't need welfare! It disgusts me to think about how much money is hoarded by "faithful" christians... I think it makes God cry...
And don't even get me started on health care... It's funny how we care more about exploring space than making sure that everyone can afford to go to the doctor... and what is it with Americans' obsession with going to the doctor anyway?? The doctor cannot make your cold go away!!! Eat oranges, rest, and feel better... :P
Politics is so much fun.

I had a temporary brain freeze when Bush said that he appointed a task force to punish people who commit crimes using guns. Couldn't figure out why he needed another task force. Hasn't there been a force in existence for ages a.k.a. the police?
i also enjoyed the look on bush's face when kerry said: "the president is wrong" and he had no chance to respond... hehehe
