What’s the matter with Ralph Nader? I don’t really know. I mean I would say I agree with him on most matters of policy, but I can’t help but feel like despite his protests it is his fault. “It” being the past 8 years. I watched him on the meet the press and he won’t take any responsibility for what happened. Although I do support the concept of a 3rd party candidate, or 4th party or whatever, and I like the fact that he brought some prominence to the green party, even though the green party seems to want to distance itself from him at this point. Like most politicians he seems incapable of admitting mistakes. For example, the fact that he said there was no difference between Gore and Bush. I mean again, I see his point, there is not enough of a difference, but after what has happened in the past 8 years you would think the guy could at least admit there is a terrible difference, and that if he had it to do over again he would not have run. That is not to say he shouldn’t run, or shouldn’t have run, but can’t he look back and honestly say the country, the world is worse off in part because he took away votes from the democrats? Do I think he shouldn’t have run? I don’t know, I mean it is anyone’s right to run, but I WISH he hadn’t run. Do I care if he runs now? No, I think at this point he is a fringe figure. It seems like 3rd party candidates get one good shot (Perot, Andersen, Nader) and that is it.
Yesterday’s album was Raheem DeVaughn-Love Behind the Melody. Kind of an old fashioned R&B meets hip hop. Many of these albums I find totally unlistenable. This one was not. It had some humor, some good singing, and some decent music. 7.5 out of 11.
