I got a taped call from Al Gore last night. There was something strange about it. Here's what it said:

GORE'S VOICE: This is former vice Precident Al Gore calling to urge you to vote no on the recall. Gray Davis has been a solid progressive governor and deserves to finish out his term. We simply cannot let the right wing Republicans roll back the progress California has been making under Governor Davis. It is very important that you vote no on the recall. Also, as insurance against a strong pro-recall turnout, and to keep a Democrat in the governor's office, continue on the ballot and vote "yes" for Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante to keep the governorship in Democratic hands. So remember, vote no on the recall, and then vote for Cruz Bustamante, who is located on your ballot under the letter "B." Thank you.

WOMAN'S VOICE: Paid for by Progressive Democrats and Independents against the recall. Major funding by Anheuser-Busch.

Schlitz tastes awful. Absolutely awful. It's nice to find out why.

The same thing happened to Slim Jim sausages. I used to love them as a kid. They had a great taste plus they were crunchy and had a slight fattiness inside. Then they added in some soy and chemical preservatives and the taste went to hell in a handbasket. I can't stand Slim Jims now.

"..can't believe these guys would pay to spread Bustamante/Davis propaganda."

Sounds like a good reason to change brands of beer.

I find it hard to believe, too. And A-B makes fine beer.

Cruz Busch-tamante?

There is a poll I saw that stated that 11% of CA voters think that if you vote no on question 1, you can't vote for a replacement.

While I'm happy about this, I think these could be the next "I meant to vote for Gore, but I voted for Buchanan" whiners.

Not only that, but the Coors family's involved with a bunch of conservative groups.

That explains where they were when the brewing lessons were going on.

Sure, isn't Cheney's daughter their liaison with homosexual groups?

Augie Busch, all generations thereof, have been big supporters of Conservative Congressmembers, too.

I know this sounds odd. But yes, anyone can vote for a replacement candidate on Part 2 of the ballot regardless of whether they vote yes or no on Part 1, the recall question. This same recall procedure has been followed on local elections in the past, just never in a statewide election.

They just ANSWERED MY 800 CALL AND i BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE GETTING IT!

I make the malt for Coors with tender FReeper love!

Do you really work at Coors? Alright! Coors is actually my favorite beer. Happy to know I'm helping (in some small way) to support a FReeper! :-)
