This weekend I went to the registrar of voters to pick up a ballot so I could vote early (or at least avoid filling it out at the polling place this Tuesday).
Turns out that here in California there are way more than Bush and Kerry on the ballot. In fact, there are six different pairs of candidates on the ballot representing different parties.
Had to confess that I hadn’t heard of all of the individual parties they represented.
And there’s way more minor political parties out there in America than just these six.

HERE’S A CONSICISE LIST OF PRESENT POLITICAL PARTIES AND BASIC INFO ON THEM.
I had no idea many of these folks existed.
Most of them are nuts.
A few actually sound good (that’s sound good, you’ll note; I’m suspicious of what every party says about itself).
