Gore Vidal: 'The Most Important Election in My Lifetime'
Vidal started observing before most of us were born...his books capture so presciently what was sick about nixon era political trends that bore fruit in Dubya's rein. And gives us much more wry and juicy phrases with which to label the mediocre mendacious plutocrats...many of us would just settle for fascist but Vidal has a lot more class.
Thanks for posting this. My thoughts are with all Americans today as you head to the ballot box. I only wish I could also vote because as goes America so goes the world and America truly needs to go in a new direction!
I want you to know that I discovered you on Blog Explosion and that your music is some of the loveliest I've heard. Very inspiring! Thanks for your good wishes on this all-important day for my country.
