Koppel is taking most of his crew along, and says he won't bother even showing up at the Democratic Convention. "This convention is more of an infomercial than a news event," Koppel said at the end of his broadcast Tuesday night. "Nothing surprising has happened. Nothing surprising is anticipated."

While it is illegal in the U.S. to bribe a police officer, influencing a politician by using so-called soft money seems to be perfectly O.K. Why should I bother to vote, knowing that elected officials are like tools bought by giant corporations to manipulate the underclass? On Election Day, I'm going to stay in my small shop, where I make barely enough money to survive. Maybe by working those hours instead of wasting them going to the polls, I will be able...
