Hung out last night with some really nice friends of MB's who were visiting from Colorado. I was actually surprised to learn that, apparently, people in the rest of the country hate the Yankees. This comes as quite a shock to me. And now I see Dave Winer has been bad mouthing the Yankees as well, saying they "have no philosophy." I'm really not sure what that means, but frankly, not having a "philosophy" doesn't seem like a real stopper for a baseball team. One thing's for sure: we're going to enjoy the world series here in NYC.

Subway series Bootleg T-shirts went on sale 10/18/00 in the am. next to the WTC near BurgerKing. Anyone notice the lack of D and R political campagne buttons and bumper stickers this time around ? I've only seen a few Nader buttons. I think I've been won over by the "federal matching funds for Green party in 2004 if they can capture 5% " reason for voting for Nader even if it does sacrifice Gore's win this year.....for today anyway. Hello swing vote.

the editor of the nation suggested that you find out how close your state is polling on bush/gore before you go for nader. ny and nj were tight but both are expected to go to gore in which case you could vote nader with a clear conscience. the 5% mark is another good reason to vote for nader.

gores lead has recently narrowed in nj so its a real moment to moment tweaker.
