John Kerry said that he would build a coalition to help out in Iraq. Since Bush has already done that(with the exception of France, Germany, and Russia), Kerry must have some sort of sooper seckret plan to get these countries to help. French and German government officials say they will not significantly increase military assistance … Continue reading Kerry, the French, and the Germans

The Spring Has Sprung
On the garage door, that is. The release latch doesn't seem to actually release anything, so I'm stuck inside. I tried to look up a repair place on Superpages.com; what a waste of time that was. Good thing I still have old paper yellow pages. They should be here by 10:00am. In the meantime, I'm … Continue reading The Spring Has Sprung
Go to Sleep, Patch
No, Patch, I don't want to go for a walk. I hear your little whines, I'm not getting up. I wish you'd settle down; you keep running to the back patio, then jumping on the bed, giving a little whine, running back outside again. You've been doing this all day. Yes, I know the dog … Continue reading Go to Sleep, Patch
Houstonians: Vote Yes on Proposition 2
I love what those guys at C.L.O.U.T. are doing and trying to keep our property taxes low. They're easy to listen to on the radio, but man, they need somebody to help them with their emails to make them easier to read. Ouch. Short recommendation: Vote Yes on Proposition 2. The other Proposition 1 is … Continue reading Houstonians: Vote Yes on Proposition 2

Unbalanced Terrorists… with Subtitles

Kerry Disses French, Declares War on Iraq
"We know we can't count on the French. We know we can't count on the Russians. We know that Iraq is a danger to the United States, and we reserve the right to take pre-emptive action whenever we feel it's in our national interest." John Kerry, Crossfire, 1997 Dang. I think Kerry is a Bush … Continue reading Kerry Disses French, Declares War on Iraq
Kerry says Iraq and US Working Well Together
Well, actually what John Kerry said was that interim Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi is helping President Bush put a "best face" on Iraq. Same thing. 😛 Kerry basically complained about a lot; reading over the speech snapshots, I concluded Kerry is a) mad that George Bush is optimistic, and b) Optimism is a mistake, … Continue reading Kerry says Iraq and US Working Well Together
Bush Torture
I was trying to be upset at this, but it's sort of amusing. If you think it's amusing, too, don't tell me. I want to maintain my high opinion of you.
My Name is Dan Rather
Via a tip from Little Miss Attila comes a new short story by Inspector Dan Rather, "My Teleprompter is Deadly" at Iowahawk. It was a slow September night in Manhattan. The kind of sweaty summer night where the mean streets of Gotham run wild with the shadowy scum of the Republican National Convention. The kind … Continue reading My Name is Dan Rather
Kerry is Proposing a Draft?
According to an Associated Press story, John Kerry says that a "military draft could be reinstated if voters re-elect President Bush." Then he immediately flip flops and says Kerry would not bring back the draft. I suppose he's trying to do that fear-monger thing, making people think George Bush would reinstate the draft, but George … Continue reading Kerry is Proposing a Draft?

What's Kerry's Position?
I've read this a couple of times. Listen to this and tell me what you think John Kerry's position on Iraq is: IMUS: "Do you think there are any circumstances we should have gone to war in Iraq, any?" KERRY: "Not under the current circumstances, no. There are none that I see. I voted based … Continue reading What's Kerry's Position?

Relaxing Weekend, Back to Work
That was my first 3-day weekend since June. I'd almost forgotten how much I enjoyed my 3-day weekends every other week.

The Bleat, as usual, was excellent today. He turned his daughter's playhouse into Chernobyl. Go read it now or I shall taunt you unmercifully.

Viewers Switch Off CBS
Thanks to Dan Rather's determination to trash the President and sacrifice facts along the way, their market share has all but disappeared. According to Drudge and Nielsen ratings, CBS trails ABC now by as much as 6 to 1. In the New York area, Dan Rather finished dead last behind reruns of the Simpsons, Will … Continue reading Viewers Switch Off CBS

Star Trek: Enterprise is almost here; the season premier is October 8. Sometime this season, they'll reintroduce the Orion slave girls from Captain Kirk's time.

Teresa Heinz Kerry: "Let Them Go Naked"
Teresa Heinz Kerry in New York discussed the relief effort underway for victims of Hurricane Ivan.

"Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes." I'm … Continue reading Teresa Heinz Kerry: "Let Them Go Naked"
It Makes Me Nauseous
There's a industrial strength pencil sharpener over the wall in the next cubicle. When the draftsman, er... draftswoman uses it, the display on my monitor goes all wonky. A warped, vibrating display.

Kerry Criticizes Bush for Not Doing Kerry's Job
John Kerry criticized George Bush today for not extending the assault-weapons ban. George Bush had said if the US Congress passed an extention, he would sign it. Congress didn't. But the President can only sign legislation, not introduce it. So why didn't John Kerry introduce legislation to extend the weapons ban if he felt so … Continue reading Kerry Criticizes Bush for Not Doing Kerry's Job
Teacher In Trouble For Ripping Bible
From the Denver Channel: BURLEY, Idaho -- An Idaho English teacher is in trouble for ripping up a Bible in class.

Ivan Frustrates Media By Not Heading to Florida
I think the media really, really wants Ivan to hit Florida. They really want a three-peat. When the hurricane tracking maps first came out, all of them showed Ivan slamming into the heart of Florida. This was the map a few days ago – “Yay! It’s going to hit Florida!†the news people seem to … Continue reading Ivan Frustrates Media By Not Heading to Florida
Latest Democrat Missile Misses Target. Again.
If for no other reason, you ought to vote for George Bush because the Democrats have shown themselves to be completely inept.

Why the Fake Memos Are Important
Major media using fake documents in order to influence the election for the leader of the free world and choose who will lead the fight against terrorism for the next 4 years. Just thought it needed to be said. You know, in case you were wondering.
What Do the Fake CBS Memos Have in Common with Vince Foster?
Tonight Dan Rather explained that the memos were real because the story was true. And the story was true because they had these memos... I didn't buy it, and neither did Wizbang. In particular, the "superscript" function of that typewriter would let you raise the 'th' up a 1/2 step, but it wouldn't change the … Continue reading What Do the Fake CBS Memos Have in Common with Vince Foster?
CBS Stands By Its Story: "These Fakes are Real!"
CBS and Dan Rather stands by their story, claiming the faked Col. Killian documents they showed on 60 Minutes are real. CBS also denies any internal investigation is underway.

Memos Questioning Bush's Guard Service May Be Fake
The Houston Chronicle is publishing a story by the Boston Globe that memos aired by CBS last night appear to show evidence "embellished" his record.

Bush Proudly Completed National Guard Service
Everywhere I look, it's "National Guard" this and "National Guard" that. The media appears to be coordinating a worldwide "Attack Bush" day. Odd, they didn't give the Swift Boat Vets this kind of attention; they waited a couple of days, buried the info on page A17 and hoped it would blow over. The media is … Continue reading Bush Proudly Completed National Guard Service
Hurricane Ivan, 160mph, Heads to Florida
Man, Florida just can not get a break. Their third hurricane of the season is bearing down on them. Everytime they update the computer models, the more it looks like Ivan is taking the same path as Charley. And this morning, Ivan was upgraded to Category 5 with 160 mph winds.

John Kerry and Guns
John Kerry took some flap yesterday when he received a gun at the United Mine Workers Labor Day.

The Democrat Party of the Rich Elite
I've noticed the liberal media has dried up on a topic they covered in detail earlier this year.

Now that John Kerry has raised … Continue reading The Democrat Party of the Rich Elite

My son dropped in yesterday afternoon. I didn't raise no dummy - he had 3 loads of laundry that cost 75 cents each. He'll spend $10 in gas to save 75 cents - but it's my credit card paying for gas. Heh. I don't mind; I thought he grew up quickly when he was young, … Continue reading Hurricane Alex Just Blew Through

I still don't know what's causing the kablooeyness, so I'm just going to disable eveything for the rest … Continue reading Something Went Boom
Navy Investigates Kerry's Medals
In 1996, [Chief of Naval Operations] Admiral Jeremy Boorda committed suicide after he was accused of wearing medals he hadn't earned. At the time, Sen.

"If you wind up being less than what you're pretending to be, there is a … Continue reading Navy Investigates Kerry's Medals

Outrageous! It's Guantanamo!
The NERVE of the police! People merely breaking the law are ARRESTED! Thrown in to jail, and this is the outrageous part - they are DETAINED against their will! What is this country coming to, a police state where lawbreakers get thrown in jail? Don't suggest that they protest peacefully, of course. That's looney.
Zell Miller, Patriotic Democrat
Zell Miller gave a rousing patriotic speech last night to explain why he's switching party lines to vote for George Bush. His heart and mind is his conscience, and he's proudly stated something that's important to me. I am not necessarily a Republican. I don't hold certain ideals because Republicans tell me to; I am … Continue reading Zell Miller, Patriotic Democrat
Workout Slippers
Last night's workout was cancelled due to equipment failure. I had been using my tennis shoes, but over the weekend decided to get my old racquetball shoes out of the closet to use as my gym sneaks.

MTV Awards & John Kerry's Daughters
I didn't watch the MTV Awards last night. There's not much about that event that appeals to me. With MTV solidly behind John Kerry, I expected a lot of Bush bashing. Imagine my surprise when I read on Drudge last night that when John Kerry's daughters got up on stage to ask people to vote … Continue reading MTV Awards & John Kerry's Daughters
Busy Week Ahead
I have all day meetings Monday and Tuesday and some tight deadlines to meet at work this week. Postings will be slim till the end of the week. Currently we're up to about 300 Democratic loonies arrested in New York. I'm predicting a thousand before the end of the week.
Wayward College Student Found!
Alex called back last night and we caught up on things. He's staying up at college this weekend (good for him!); he has parties, an XBox tournament, and movies to go see. Some of those events mysteriously involve girls.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
I tried calling my new collegiate college son on Wednesday night to see how his first day of classes went. No answer on his dorm phone.

New York Riots of 2004
The riots on New York 2004 are about to begin to coincide with the Republican National Convention. The Republicans have every intention of putting the protestors on TV and point out that those naked lunatics setting fire to stuff are supporters of Kerry. History repeats itself; in Chicago 1968 students rioted and rebelled against the … Continue reading New York Riots of 2004
John Kerry's "The New Soldier"
John Kerry's Vietnam-bashing book went out of print years ago. He wouldn't give permission for the publisher to reprint it; his veteran-bashing would probably hurt his campaign. After all, he wants to be the Commander in Chief of all those baby killers. Through the magic of the internet, you can read his book online here. … Continue reading John Kerry's "The New Soldier"
Kerry's Stunt Backfires
Despite the best effort of the liberal media (headline reads "Kerry Backer Tries in Vain to Get Protest to Bush"), John Kerry's stunt went over like a lead balloon yesterday. He organized Max Cleland, the disabled ex-Senator, to deliver a letter to President Bush at his Crawford ranch. Of course it was a stunt; he … Continue reading Kerry's Stunt Backfires

After taking Alex to college, I resolved to clean his room. It's full of typical teenage junk he's collected over the years, but mostly with his door shut, I haven't looked at it in years.

Kerry's Swift Boat Vet Issue
The Swift Boat advertisements must have hit a sore spot. John Kerry is sending two aides today to George Bush's hometown to press Bush into condemning the ads.

To … Continue reading Kerry's Swift Boat Vet Issue

On the second floor of my office, I found a Dasani vending machine. It dispenses bottled water. On the front is a big sign that says, "OPEN BOTTLE CAREFULLY."

Looking for an Honest Candidate
One of the cries from the left is that George Bush lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction, then took us into war with Iraq. That's the foundation of the "Anybody But Bush" movement. Michael Moore's movie is based on this premise that Bush lied. I find it funny that these are the same people who … Continue reading Looking for an Honest Candidate
