"Osama bin Laden put out a new video. The timing of this video has some people upset, three days before we vote. It looks like he's trying to influence the election. And I'll tell you, it's not going to work. Americans know Osama bin Laden does not pick our president. The Supreme Court does." -- Bill Maher

Lisa,
I want to thank you for the many, many months of laughter and energy and
enthusiasm and strength that helped to get me and others who felt outraged and
powerless against the machine we so lovingly -- or is it loathingly -- call BushCo.
Leslie
You are very welcome.

Greetings Lisa,
Well let me say this on this eve of the election: You certainly have
done your part to defeat George W. Bush.
I know how much of your heart you have invested in this election. I
know the passion.
I know it makes a difference when voices emerge
and speak out, Michael Moore, Al Franken, Lisa Casey, all part of a
wonderful stew called democracy.
You deserve this election in the same way that this country deserves
John Kerry to be president.
So come Monday evening, when you set your pen and mouse down from your
final message, know this:
You have done everything in your power to promote truth and peace. For
that I thank you. God Bless you and...
God Bless America
Bill Tyler
Thank you for including me in the same sentence as Michael Moore and Al Franken.
I thank the Lord and Al Gore for the Internet.
