Bags, you are the poster child for conspicuous consumption.
Time to pull the lever for Nader for a third straight election.

I thought the Democrats successfully sabotaged Nader's effort to get on the ballot in Virginia?

He's not on the ballot, you'll have to write him in.

Troller is looking for a response…ANY response, and he will chum the waters with complaints, insults, compliments, and inflammatory tidbits hoping that someone…ANYONE, will take the bait. Generally quite harmless - practices a form of catch and release. Nonetheless, he can upset the delicate ecology of a discussion forum. Once a forum becomes aware of his presence, however, all feeding activity ceases and Troller must move on to more promising waters.
Rhett's like that damn Chinese snakehead. You just can't kill him.

Why don't you go back to the City Paper chatboard?
All I said was it must be nice to have so much disposeable income after ones bills are paid. What is wrong with saying that?
Personally, if I had that kind of money, I'd invest it, or pay down my debt, but this is America, she can spend as she wishes.

From Bruce Springsteen to Jadakiss, artists speak out about John Kerry, George Bush and what's at stake on Election Day
As the election approaches, some of rock & roll's biggest artists are embarking on a tour with an unprecedented message: Vote for change. While musicians have played benefits for candidates in the past, nothing on this scale has ever been attempted: a nine-day tour of Ohio, Florida and seven other swing states, culminating on October 11th in a historic concert in Washington, D.C. Spearheaded by Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews Band, Dixie Chicks and R.E.M., the tour is expected to raise $10 million to mobilize voters. On the eve of this ambitious undertaking, ROLLING STONE asked twenty-six artists to discuss why they're voting – and why this election is so important.

Sundance To Broadcast Vote For Change Finale
Sundance Channel will broadcast the Oct. 11 finale of the Vote for Change tour in Washington, D.C. Along with live concert footage of the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, R.E.M., Dave Matthews Band and James Taylor, "National Anthem: Inside the 'Vote for Change' Concert Tour" will feature pre-taped behind-the-scenes segments lensed by veteran filmmakers Albert Maysles and D A Pennebaker.
Each of the dozen-plus artists are expected to perform for about 22 minutes at the Oct. 11 show, which wraps a 10-day Vote for Choice blitz through upcoming presidential election battleground states.
A Sundance spokesperson tells Billboard.com Maysles and Pennebaker will be on the road with the Vote for Choice tour in the days ahead to document rehearsals and off-stage interaction between the acts.
"From the Kennedys to Dylan, the Beatles, and Stones, Al Maysles and D A Pennebaker are the pre-eminent observers of politics and music in our time," says Sundance founder Robert Redford. "Sundance is pleased to present these legendary filmmakers' view of the collision between pop culture and politics at this fascinating moment in U.S. history."
"This documentary presents a unique opportunity to extend the music from this amazing finale show beyond the walls of the arena to a broader audience, and provide viewers with an insider's look at what the 'Vote for Change' tour is all about," says Springsteen manager Jon Landau.
According to Pearl Jam's official Web site, the show may also by Webcast, with details to be announced.
