I've already mentioned The Sun as one of my go-to magazines, and the latest issue is a sweet one - interesting interview with Tom Hayden, some great poems and short stories, and a funny piece by a frequent contributor who goes by the name Sparrow. Sparrow talks about the 2004 presidential election, and notes that 40% of eligible voters didn't go to the polls. Wondering who these non-voters are, Sparrow suggests that the group includes:Fishermen lost at sea.
Scientists working twenty-four hours a day to cure AIDS.
Pimps and others too cool to vote.
The extremely absent-minded.
People who decided to have "one little drink" on the way to the polls and ended up getting completely loaded.
People who are waiting for drive-through voting.
Pyschics who already know who will win.
