This website first created during the summer of 2003 before blogs, myspace
and youtube, in the darkened days of America held hostage under the tyranical
thumb of King George. I had some time on my hands then, and to learn more
about the Democratic Presidential Candidates in the 2004 Election I started
the page.
Writing
has helped me keep my sanity during the last seven and a half years and
Mike's Page is a kind of running political
rant - especially the archives of those pages.
I've also included a few links a song
I wrote and recorded. More are planned. May you discover something interesting
and new on your travels through. Have Fun! - Mike George.
