Mention Ralph Nader's name around the Weekly Volcano and the chagrin is palpable. Matt Driscoll can be heard openly cussing, Owen Taylor just shakes his head in regret. Right or wrong, Nader is often blamed for the debacle that put George W. Bush in office in 2000. If only it was that simple. Saturday, Nader will be at The Evergreen State College, where the droopy-faced consumer advocate will discuss "the truth about healthcare." Here's a guess: It's all fucked up.
