Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.


I Wish I Had a Nickel

For every time John Kerry says, “I have a plan.”

What, exactly, is his plan?

And what, exactly, does “win the peace” mean?

  1. At least “misunderestimated” makes sense and can be passed off as a slip of the tounge. What DOES “win the peace” mean? I’m curious as well.

  2. Maybe he means “Win the Peas!” Like maybe he’s on some sort of Vegetable Game Show.

  3. He certainly does use those two terms on a regular basis – – I figure “Win the peace” means pack up the troops and run and make Neville Chamberlain proud by being the appeaser John Kerry certainly is.

    As for “I have a plan” – – he has a plan for everything yet he doesn’t discuss them nor put them in writing – – what kind of fun would that be for him to flip flop through if there were actual proof – – so the only plan he has is to not have any plans.

  5. I think he means like a slot machine, if he just keeps putting the same “win the peace” coin in, eventually it has to pay off. The he goes to the “I have a plan” slot machine and plugs some more of those in there. I’ve really been genuinely interested in hearing it to see if it sounds okay, since this guy could be president, and he’ll be my president too, and so far, nothing buth what President Bush is doing. At least his running mate came up with the tort reform plan that had specifics.

  6. People might be persuaded by Kerry’s slick style. If they consider Kerry’s substance (“we need more allies except in North Korea where we should go it alone”), they have to consider Bush.

  7. If I had a nickel for every time George Bush repeats his innane talking points, heck I’d be as rich as John Kerry!

  8. All politicians, both on the left and the right, tend to repeat themselves a lot. The difference here is that Kerry’s phrases make no sense, while Bush’s do.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
