2012-10-22T10:00:54Z

What if we just followed this election for ourselves, moment to moment, living in each actual moment as it happens, without checking to see how anyone else on the planet is interpreting that moment? Wouldn't that be a better way to prepare ourselves to cast ballots?

Larry David: Waiting for Nov. 4th

2008-10-22T18:44:04Z
