Over a thousand Greens from all over the world will be gathering in Chicago from July 10th-13th for the 2008 U.S. Green Party National Nominating Convention. On Thursday, and Friday, they will be coming together in Workshops to learn from one another. On Saturday, a National Party Platform will be adopted. Then the National Nominating Convention will select the Green Party candidate for the 2008 Presidential Election. Sunday will be a morning of workshops and connecting with fellow Greens.
Who's going?
Yancy?

Nick's right. Why fly to Florida to waste your vote when you can just hop on the Metra? Srsly tho, I care enough about the greens to vote for them, but not enough to show up for this.
This reads like self-satire.Over a thousand Greens from all over the world

These Workshops sound great. I haven't taken workshop since junior high school when we built part of a house!

From an email my sister sent to our family and her friends a few days ago:
"For those in Illinois, Nader/Gonzalez will be on the ballot in November, so you don't even have to remember how to spell their names!"
Red is right

workshops on futility
But among the jackals, the panthers, the bitch hounds,
The apes, the scorpions, the vultures, the serpents,
The yelping, howling, growling, crawling monsters,
In the filthy menagerie of our vices,
There is one more ugly, more wicked, more filthy!
Although he makes neither great gestures nor great cries,
He would willingly make of the earth a shambles
And, in a yawn, swallow the world;
He is Ennui! — His eye watery as though with tears,
He dreams of scaffolds as he smokes his hookah pipe.
You know him reader, that refined monster,
— Hypocritish reader, — my fellow, — my brother!
