I pulled this off of an old laptop & thought it would be appropriate for election day. A compilation of threads from 2004 where the DUmmies have such high hopes for John Kerry, only to see him fail miserably. I originally posted it here pre-crash, sometime in 2005 but glad to recover it for posterity.
The titles alone are excellent to read, but the links work too for full DUmmy angst. Enjoy! :D
