r.e.m.'s "stand in the place where you live" is playing on the corporate radio right now.

that song always reminds me of the 8th grade student council elections - jenni something or other and 3 or 4 of her friends sang "stand in the place that you vote" while dancing around on the stage. i think she was running for president. and i think she won.

i wish politics were still that much fun.
