It Looks Like This (sorry, no ice cream) |

Two More Reasons to Vote For BushThe headline spread across the top of my morning newspaper today read "U.S. Military Deaths in Iraq top 1000." Just below that was the story entitled "Record $422 billion deficit forecast." That's the record this man is running on. How's That Plame Investigation Coming Along?Back when the Valerie Plame scandal first broke, what, in July of last year, there was no way I figured that an "investigation" could continue until past our Presidential election this coming November. I guess I underestimated the ability of this administration to stonewall and of our national press to let a story languish and die.
Bush Love-Child AbortionI have no way of knowing if any of this is true. At their hate-in last week at Madison Square Garden, Bush and the Republicans demonstrated that they have no sense of decency left. It's time to fight fire with fire. As much of this kind of crap I can find, I will post. You decide whether you want to believe it or not. Existential Threats...then and nowAdam Gopnik, writing in the August 23 New Yorker with no apparent intended irony, says,
MSNBC PromoI was watching hurricane Frances coverage on MSNBC as I got a root canal this morning, when I was struck by one of their self-promos. While extolling themselves for their superb unbiased coverage, they showed footage of the US-staged 2003 toppling of the Saddam statue in a Baghdad square. That probably tells us all we need to know about the kind of coverage we can expect from MSNBC. Sadly, we can expect no better from most other media outlets. Republicans Honoring Those Who ServeI've been working on an item about the disingenuousness of the Republicans being so vocal about how they support our troops while being lead by a bunch of military service dodging chicken hawks who habitually question the records of those who did serve (McCain, Cleland, Kerry). Now I've come across this, which says it more succinctly than I would have, and has pictures.
May We Have "Terror" Back?I know it's a little late for this and I'm probably tilting at windmills, but can we all go back to the time when intelligent people realized that the words terror and terrorism were not interchangeable? Terror cannot be defeated; it will always be with us. Terrorism, perhaps, can be eliminated. A world without terrorists and their acts will still have terror, though. Just saying. Bush!!!
Dole Questions Kerry's Wounds.It's interesting that Dole would do this. In what my be his final significant act as a public figure, he strips all the class from his legacy.
Let the Big Dog Off the PorchBill Clinton was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart tonight, responding reasonably and eloquently, but passionately, to Stewart's leading questions about the tone of the campaign the Republicans and their surrogates are running against Kerry, comparing it, as many others have, to the campaigns run against McCain in 2000 and Max Cleland in 2002. Clinton's main point was that when the nasties bring out their gutter attacks you have to respond point-by-point and show them up as the low life political scum they are.
