Perhaps this is not of the intellectual calibre that was requested but I recomend the current strip as a valid reson not to endorse the current administration.
My good friend, Nonny de la Pena, just wrote and directed a film for the ACLU and Robert Greenwald called Unconstitutional - on the Patriot Act and danger to civil liberties under the Bush administration. It premiered this evening in LA for the ACLU, it will open theatrically in October, but you can purchase a DVD for $20 at http://www.aclu.org/unconstitutional/
I bought one but I'm giving it to my daughter's high school
Buy one and show it widely-- it's a great place to begin discussion.
Former Harvard professor bashes Bush...
Body: This is a re-post from a Philly chat group. An interesting read
from a man with no apparent connections to the Kerry campaign.
The dunce
His former Harvard Business School professor recalls George W. Bush
not just as a terrible student but as spoiled, loutish and a
pathological liar.

Sept. 16, 2004 | For 25 years, Yoshi Tsurumi, one of George W. Bush's
professors at Harvard Business School, was content with his green-
card status as a permanent legal resident of the United States. But
Bush's ascension to the presidency in 2001 prompted the Japanese
native to secure his American citizenship. The reason: to be able to
speak out with the full authority of citizenship about why he
believes Bush lacks the character and intellect to lead the world's
oldest and most powerful democracy.
"I don't remember all the students in detail unless I'm prompted by
something," Tsurumi said in a telephone interview Wednesday. "But I
always remember two types of students. One is the very excellent
student, the type as a professor you feel honored to be working with.
Someone with strong social values, compassion and intellect -- the
very rare person you never forget. And then you remember students
like George Bush, those who are totally the opposite."
