Wes Clark pulls out the Myspace card
Wes Clark seems to be everywhere right now. He’s online, he’s on TV, he’s even on myspace.
I think its awesome that Clark has embraced the age of myspace and created a profile. We all know that the youth turns out to vote in little numbers - probably because the candidates all seem so stuffy and far away. If Clark can break through some of that I think it will push him in the winning direction. The people he has on his staff are making the right suggestions.
Here is a clipping from the myspace bulletin Clark posted yesterday. It urges people to get out and vote…
At long last, the time has come to cast our votes — and with the future of our country at stake, Election Day couldn’t come soon enough. As Americans, it is our duty to hold our elected leaders accountable for their performance, and we do that at the ballot box.
In my short time in politics, I have learned many new clichés — one of the most notable being, “This is a critical election.” This year, it is dramatically true. The Bush Administration and this Republican Congress seemingly can not, or will not, make the right decisions about the most important issue ever to face government officials: war and peace. The only hope for a change of course in our misguided foreign policy is a Congress that will serve its Constitutional role as a check on this power of this reckless executive.
…These next 36 hours are a critical time for our country. I urge you to take an hour or two to volunteer with a local campaign or call Democratic voters in critical Congressional districts. And please forward this to everyone in your address book.
This is the time for us to stand up and be counted. Together, we will help Democrats take back Congress on Tuesday, bringing the change that our troops, our families, and all Americans so desperately need.
Sincerely,Wes Clark

That’s really cool, the way some politicians turn to the internet not with rage and ignorance, but with interest and a clear idea of how to use it to their advantage.
Oh yes, that’s what they’re doing. But hey, that’s cool in my book. It’s what the internet is about, using it to your own advantage.
…and porn, of course. Mustn’t forget the porn. Important part of the soul of the internet, for certain.
I’m not much of a myspace-fan. In fact, I pretty much despise myspace. Niggaspace.com is fine, since it’s so incredibly hilarious, even though it appears to be a serious site. Pure golden awesomeness there!
Myspace seems to me more like a collection of stereotypes; you have the white trash kids, black ghetto toughguys, the yifftastic furries, wasted college Greek-life idiots, hard rock goth kids, emo-attention whores and 14 year old girls that seemingly get high on the color pink and fluffy bunnies…and horrible flashing gifs.
All accompanied by an approach to spelling and grammar that is best described as a game of “pin the tail on the donkey”
*shudder*
Of course, in between, there are intelligent people, whom I think would be better off buying a domain and writing their stuff outside a loser-community. They wouldn’t get quite as many readers, perhaps, but at least they wouldn’t be amongst myspacers.
I know, I’m horribly harsh and unkind here, but I really don’t like myspace…or any site/network that is similar to it (msn spaces, livejournal, enjoydiary etc…
