"We Did Not Vote For Bush"
Over the past two weeks, the world championships of bridge were held in Shanghai, China.

There were several categories of competition, one of which is exclusively for Women. The winner of this Women's competition is awarded the Venice Cup.

This year, a team from the United States won the Venice Cup, defeating a team from Germany for the title.

2. Last summer I went to a Twins/Blue Jays game and somehow
my friends and I wound up with seats where we were completely surrounded by Blue Jays fans that do an annual bus trip down to Minneapolis when the Jays are in town. They were a fun bunch, and when we started interacting with them, the first thing I said to the couple behind me was "I want you to know I voted for Gore and I voted for Kerry." To which the Mrs. Blue Jay fan replied "I knew I liked you."

8. Cute! Reminds me of when
my sister and I went to Niagara Falls(Canada) in 2004 and I wore my Kerry/Edwards pin everywhere. I had the most amazing conversations with the neatest Canadians.

3. Nor did the majority of Americans! Glad it's getting out!
I'd love a movement where more and more people advertise that fact. This way, eventhough our own cowardly 2004 winning candidates stay silent, the truth may yet seep in.

4. After Nixon's downfall, you couldn't find a soul that would say they
voted for him.

10. Attention Whores!!
How dare they make a spectacle of themselves denigrating our brilliant and beloved president? And, don't they realize that many good Americans will be outraged by such a display and vote Republican????

Well, at least, they didn't wear pink.
