In case you were wondering, the Kerry campaign’s financial disclosure sucks:

George W. Bush
Full Disclosure	$162,015,524	(92.8%)
Incomplete	$2,494,643	(1.4%)
No Disclosure	$10,074,605	(5.8%)

John Kerry
Full Disclosure	$112,220,444	(78.5%)
Incomplete	$2,720,026	(1.9%)
No Disclosure	$28,078,244	(19.6%)

Not much of an improvement since I called attention to this back in August. Given all the criticism Kerry has received in the mainstream media for his clear disdain for campaign finance regulations, it is suprrising that he hasn’t improved. Oh, wait a minute…

Salon.com on Springsteen, Stipe, and the rest of that gang’s concert tour to ” help unseat President Bush”: Have the Power
Non-Republican people, that is. ‘Cause those Republican people — heck, you don’t want to give them the power of the TV remote, let alone the voting booth:
It was that sense of determined optimism — a positive message of empowerment — that drove the opening night of the unprecedented, all-star Vote for Change tour. On Friday night, Springsteen and his E Street Band were joined by REM, John Fogerty and the young band Bright Eyes for a memorable concert of inspiring American rock classics, bound together by a newfound call to activism.
Get jobs, you damned hippies.
