NEW YORK - In the headlines this afternoon, the Congressional Budget Office will project that this year's U.S. budget deficit will be smaller than expected. The nonpartisan CBO is expected to say that the deficit will reach $422 billion. While that is a record, it is down from the $477 billion estimated for the year … Continue reading Lower Taxes. Higher Revenues. Better Economy.

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. Aghast that George Bush was going to drastically outspend their opponent of choice, the news overflowed with the vast amounts of wealth George Bush had compared the pitiful pauper John Kerry. Now that John Kerry has raised … Continue reading The Democrat Party of the Rich Elite
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. Kerry told the Boston Herald that the error was "sufficient to question his leadership position." "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
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.
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
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. Those ads must be hurting Kerry, both politically and personally. I'm starting to suspect John Kerry is not only a liar, but incredibly inept as well. To … Continue reading Kerry's Swift Boat Vet Issue
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
He Thought It Was Funny When Michael Moore Did It
When you bring a trial lawyer on board as your vice presidential candidate, what's the best way to stifle free speech? THAT'S RIGHT!!! SUE THE HECK OUT OF THEM!!! FORT MYERS, Fla. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry asked the Federal Election Commission on Friday to force Republican critics to withdraw ads challenging his … Continue reading He Thought It Was Funny When Michael Moore Did It
Ambush Journalism
Michelle Malkin was invited on Chris Matthews' "Hardball" to discuss her book, but was instead questioned about the book, "Unfit for Command." She has the transcript, and she's a little peeved she never got to talk about *her* book. She has the full transcript on her site. To me, it doesn't appear they really ever … Continue reading Ambush Journalism
So Quiet You Can Hear a Pin Drop
I'm not my usual vocal self. It's not that I don't have things to say, it's just that I don't have much time to say it. I'm working a lot of overtime - yay, that's a good thing, I think I paid for my son's room and board in the last month alone. The O.T. … Continue reading So Quiet You Can Hear a Pin Drop
So, John, How Do You Feel About the War?
This just in: John Kerry is pro-war again. Even if he knew there were no WMD's. GRAND CANYON, Ariz. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry said on Monday he would have voted for the congressional resolution authorizing force against Iraq even if he had known then no weapons of mass destruction would be found. … Continue reading So, John, How Do You Feel About the War?
Limited Government
I'm waiting for the major media to catch up on the Swift Boat Veteran stories. It's all over the conservative blogs, and just now starting to reach the liberal blogs. The left needed some time to catch up, and they're researching the background of the swift boat veterans. That's a good thing, by the way … Continue reading Limited Government
Anti-Kerry Vietnam Veterans Hold Strong
It's apparent the liberal media does *not* want to cover the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. It makes John Kerry look bad. They *do* however want to carry a news article that one of the Swift Boat Vets wants to retract his story. It was front page everywhere today, but it originated at the Boston … Continue reading Anti-Kerry Vietnam Veterans Hold Strong
The Purple Heart Hunter
I blogged last night about Swift Boat Veterans and their opinion that John Kerry is unfit for command. They have a book coming out next month, "Unfit for Command," that describes their impression of Kerry, including a description of the first Purple Heart. Other veterans on Kerry's boat that night maintain that there was no … Continue reading The Purple Heart Hunter
Peggy Noonan the Conservative
Peggy Noonan, one of my favorite columnists, has stepped down from her Wall Street Journal position in order to help the Republican party. She feels that now more than ever requires personal sacrifice in order to win the war on terror, and that our best hope of winning the war is if the Republican Party … Continue reading Peggy Noonan the Conservative
Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
John Kerry has made a great deal of his Vietnam service. Have you ever wondered what the other veterans in his swift boat thought of him? John Kerry shouldn't wonder since they sent him a legal cease-and-desist letter to stop Kerry from using their photos: By letters delivered to the campaign on May 17 and … Continue reading Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
Kerry Admits Bush's Economy is Robust
It was only a matter of time - John Kerry spent months criticizing the economy and blaming it on Bush, but all the signs showed that the economy had turned around and was starting to accelerate rapidly. At the convention last week, Kerry barely mentioned the economy. How is Kerry supposed to complain about the … Continue reading Kerry Admits Bush's Economy is Robust
Yet Another Reason to Vote Republican
The Drudge Report says that Republicans will push for the elimination of the IRS at the RNC Convention. A domestic centerpiece of the Bush/GOP agenda for a second Bush term is getting rid of the Internal Revenue Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. Ah, now there's a dream come true. I spend at least 2 … Continue reading Yet Another Reason to Vote Republican
Moore Fakes a Headline
Michael Moore wanted to make a point in his F***9/11 movie that Bush stole the election, so he put a newspaper headline in there from The Pantagraph, a Bloomington, IL newspaper, that says "Latest Florida recount shows Gore won election." The only trouble is, that was never a headline. It was a letter to the … Continue reading Moore Fakes a Headline
Higher Paying Jobs
I had a conversation with a good neighbor and friend tonight, and one of the topics was job growth. Here in Houston, the job market has been terrible, and it's apparent some jobs in some industries are not coming back. But I think this is looking at the economy through a pinhole - the US … Continue reading Higher Paying Jobs
Chronicle Having Trouble Praising Kerry
In an unsigned editorial this morning, the Chronicle praises John Kerry's speech last night. Kerry's promises were especially appealing: Whatever shortcomings Kerry's well-crafted speech might have had, it contained no shortage of promises. Fulfilling even one — providing universal and affordable health care — would make Kerry a success where Bill and Hillary Clinton failed. … Continue reading Chronicle Having Trouble Praising Kerry
How Many Positions Does John Kerry Have About the War?
Why, all of them, of course. RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie has put together a video clip of John Kerry's 2001 position where Saddam was a dangerous thug and the US must disarm him by force, to his voting for the war, to his voting against the funding for the war, to sort of being against … Continue reading How Many Positions Does John Kerry Have About the War?
The Only Thing We Have to Fear
The Bleat is some excellent daily wirting... er, writing... see? that's why I'll never be famous. I need an editor. He only wirtes.. writes a single article a day, but each one makes an impact. His family, his daily living, his family values. He even makes music with sound mixers and Star Trek clips. Today's … Continue reading The Only Thing We Have to Fear
USAToday: "I DON'T GET IT"
USAToday tried to think outside the box, but it didn't last long. They hired right-winger Ann Coulter to cover the Democrats, and Michael Moore *shudder* to cover the Democrats. Ann Coulter went first, wrote a scathing, sarcastic, classic Coulter article. USA Today basically said, "I DON'T GET IT IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY" and … Continue reading USAToday: "I DON'T GET IT"
Democratic National Convention
This just in: John Kerry plans to accept the nomination. *zzzzz* I've barely discussed the Democratic National Convention. And do you know why? That's right. It's B-O-R-I-N-G. The only thing remotely interesting was Teresa Heinz telling a reporter to shove it. I was hoping for something interesting to happen: John Kerry announces a new "Principles … Continue reading Democratic National Convention
United Nations Abortion Funding
I penned an article for ChronicallyBiased tonight, but it doesn't look like it's going to get posted until tomorrow. Basically, the Houston Chronical had an editorial today that said Bush was going it along and refusing to give money to the UN that was already promised. Like a lot of liberal media lately, they left … Continue reading United Nations Abortion Funding
T-shirts! Getcher T-shirts Here!
Planned Parenthood is proud to offer yet another t-shirt in our new social fashion line: "I Had an Abortion" fitted T-shirts are now available. Soon we'll be seeing t-shirts that proudly proclaim "I Killed My Unborn Baby and All I Got Was This Stupid T-Shirt." If you don't think Planned Parenthood is promoting convenience abortions, … Continue reading T-shirts! Getcher T-shirts Here!
France, Country of Love
Well, except for spitting on Lance Armstrong and their hatred of Jews. Other than that, I'm sure it's a lovely country. Tip: Indepundit
Spinnin' Wheel
Old post about Sandy Berger. The post, like the Clinton adminstration, was corrupted. The post was removed, and due to term limits, so was Bill Clinton.
My Socks Normally Bulge Like That
Pundits speculate that the missing documents, based on topics that Sandy Berger was researching, relates to what the Clinton adminstration knew about Al Qaeda operations in the US and the Clinton's Adminstration's plan of action. Other speculation is that Clinton actually had a plan developed after the Millenium Bomber was caught, but may have delayed … Continue reading My Socks Normally Bulge Like That
Liberal Bias and Sandy Berger
New York Times: Buries the story at the bottom of page A16. If you can't find the story, maybe it doesn't exist. Reuters: Berger and one of his lawyers said he inadvertently removed copies of a classified memo and his handwritten notes on the material he reviewed, but immediately returned them when he was told … Continue reading Liberal Bias and Sandy Berger
Bush Apologize? I Think Not.
There are a couple of liberal websites I read; I find most of them full of vitriol and I avoid them, but some of them have polite, civil discussion. One of them is Something's Got to Break. He's posted an article that calls for Bush to apologize for the Iraq war. I was intrigued by … Continue reading Bush Apologize? I Think Not.
Rod Paige and the NAACP
Rod Paige tears into the NAACP in an opinion to the Wall Streel Journal. I have a message for the NAACP's Julian Bond and Kweisi Mfume, who have accused black conservatives of being the "puppets" of white people, unable to think for ourselves: You do not own, and you are not the arbiters of, African-American … Continue reading Rod Paige and the NAACP
Kerry Wants to Be Just like Bush
Kerry added a new twist to his criticisms of Bush. Now he says he believes in the pre-emptive strike, the part of Bush's foreign policy attacked most often. He says he would attack first if he had sound intelligence information found credible by American and their allies. Then he criticized Bush again for "going it … Continue reading Kerry Wants to Be Just like Bush
Valid Criticisms and Polite Discourse
In any disagreement, there's a way to have a polite discourse. Once you've resorted to name-calling, the effectiveness of the argument is lost. For instance, I feel calling Michael Moore a liar is valid as long as I have evidence he is purposefully misleading people. I see some bloggers calling him "fat". While that's true, … Continue reading Valid Criticisms and Polite Discourse
Dale Earnhard, Jr.'s Politics
Liberal websites all over and gleefully reporting the news that Dale Earnhardt, Jr., took his crew to see Fahrenheit 9/11. *Every* source that I followed tacked back to one of these two places: Michael Moore claims Dale Earnhardt Jr. took his pit crew to see F9/11:Surfing through the dial I landed on the Fox broadcasting … Continue reading Dale Earnhard, Jr.'s Politics
Whoopi Learns Something New
Whoopi learns a lesson about Cause and Effect. Background: Kerry skips an intelligence briefing so he can do an interview with Larry King and then attend a $25,000 a plate fundraiser. Cause: At the fundraiser, Whoopi made crude, juvenile remarks; the New York Post said "she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on … Continue reading Whoopi Learns Something New
Federal Marriage Amendment
Wall Street Journal writes today on the Federal Marriage Amendment that I found interesting. They basically oppose amending the Constitution to prohibit gay marriages... but they *are* in favor of an amendment that prohibits Federal courts from interpeting the Constitution that way. The entire article is here, but here are the key points that interested … Continue reading Federal Marriage Amendment
Heart & Soul of America
George Bush Campaign Manager Ken Mehlman sent an open letter to John Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill. Just thought I'd help get the word out. 🙂 : Dear Ms. Cahill: On Thursday your campaign hosted a fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall at which Sen. Kerry said, "Every performer tonight in their own way … Continue reading Heart & Soul of America
Fifty-Nine Deceits
"Fifty-nine Deceits in Fahrenheit 911" is written by Ralph Nader supporter Dave Kopel. Kopel offers a thorough rebuttal of the points Michael Moore tries to make in his movie. I think it's worthy to note that liberals that support Kerry "because of all the Bush lies" have no qualms whatsoever about supporting Moore's movie. If … Continue reading Fifty-Nine Deceits
Proud to Be Irresponsible
Right Thinking Girl says last night on Hannity & Holmes that Kerry said he was "proud" he had voted against the $87 billion to protect and equip our troops. Last September, though, he said it was "irresponsible" to vote against it. The only conclusion I can come from those two quotes is that he's proud … Continue reading Proud to Be Irresponsible

Leave a Message at the Beep (Part 2)
When John Kerry missed the intelligence briefing this week in order to do a Larry King interview and attend a fundraiser, lots of pundits questioned whether there should have been a briefing at all. In case you haven't pieced it all together, liberals blame George Bush and Tom Ridge whenRidge announces a terror alert and … Continue reading Leave a Message at the Beep (Part 2)
John Kerry's Heresy
I posted here that Kerry's straddling of the fence was unsustainable. He's trying to portray himself a good Catholic boy, a follower of the Catholic faith, and yet he votes 100% pro-abortion. "It's hard," Kerry told parishioner Frank Ward, a father of five and an abortion opponent. "It's a difficult line to walk." Of course … Continue reading John Kerry's Heresy
"Baby killer!"
Those words ought to frighten you - our country's biggest mistake was treating returning Vietnam soldiers with contempt. It weakened our military, drove a wedge down the middle of America, and abused tens of thousands of Vietnam veterans. Are those days long gone? Are the days when people like John Kerry organized groups like Vietnam … Continue reading "Baby killer!"
Whole Lotta Huggin' Goin' On
SondraK shows the way to a political love story, complete with soundrack. That's a whole lotta huggin' in the first 3 days of JohnJohn campaigning together. Some poll must have suggested that the metrosexual vote was up for grabs. Teresa: "Wait for me, JohnJohn!"
I Can't Come to the Terrorist Briefing, Please Leave a Message at the Beep
On Larry King last night, King asked John Kerry about Homeland Security's Tom Ridge warning about a possible terrorist attack.

Protest Without a Cause
I dunno what came over him, but a little girl named Isis asked California Education Secretary Richard Riordan if he knew her name meant "Egyptian Goddess." Riordan replied, "It means stupid dirty girl." After some nervous laughter in the room, the girl told Riordan her name meant "Egyptian Goddess." "Hey, that's nifty," Riordan said. Afterwards, … Continue reading Protest Without a Cause
Presidential Hair
Kerry can't get a break. He claims he's best for the Presidency because he has better hair: "This is the dream team,'' Kerry said Wednesday at the Dayton rally, which came after a mid-day event in Cleveland that drew about 12,500. "We have better ideas, better vision, a better sense of the difficulties in the … Continue reading Presidential Hair

Kerry's Stance on Abortion is…?
Pardon My English exposes a story on Kerry over the weekend regarding his stance on abortion. It's not a surprise to me that he says one thing to one group, and something else entirely to a different group. In the middle of the country he says things like Kerry told the paper: “I oppose abortion, … Continue reading Kerry's Stance on Abortion is…?
V.P. Candidate Edwards
Kerry finally settled on John Edwards for a running mate: "He has shown courage and conviction as a champion for middle class Americans and those struggling to reach the middle class," Kerry said of Edwards, a first-term senator and millionaire trial lawyer. I'm middle class, and I know of no millionaire trial lawyers that are … Continue reading V.P. Candidate Edwards
Researchers Surprised by Liberal Bias of Media
Oh no!!! It can't be true! Somebody's noticed! People trying to persuade others to adopt their views are very likely to cite think-tank experts who agree with them. And the liberal lobbying group Americans for Democratic Action (their description of themselves) regularly grades politicians from 0 to 100 based on their votes on selected issues, … Continue reading Researchers Surprised by Liberal Bias of Media
Vote Democrat
Dear Voters: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president, I worked in a prosperous enterprise. But in the last year, we had to close our operations. Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq. … Continue reading Vote Democrat
Saddam and the Anti-Bush Crowd
My first thought when I saw this picture was, "Gadzooks, Dennis Miller looks terrible." It struck me as I read Saddam's defiance:"This is all theater. The real criminal is Bush," Saddam later said, turning on President Bush (news - web sites), whose forces invaded Iraq and overthrew him 15 months ago. "The real criminal is … Continue reading Saddam and the Anti-Bush Crowd
Houston Chronicle, Worthless Rag
The local Houston Chronicle is a worthless left-wing news rag. There, I said it. They intentionally skip stories about C.L.O.U.T. homeowners protesting their way-out-of-sight property taxes, yet they happily publish this worthless article about Republican Governor Rick Perry: AUSTIN -- Prompted by recent controversies nipping at Gov. Rick Perry, several members of the Texas House … Continue reading Houston Chronicle, Worthless Rag
Scrappleface Satire
There's some funny stuff there this week. My favorite entries::: Publisher Revokes Hillary's Advance for Common Good (2004-07-01) -- In the same week that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, told a San Francisco audience that future President John Forbes Kerry will take money away from wealthy Americans "on behalf of the common good", the former First … Continue reading Scrappleface Satire
Saddam Is In the Cage
The Iraqi bloggers aren't shy about how they feel about Saddam's performance at his hearing today. Saddam was defiant, even while handcuffed. He blamed Americans and Kuwaitis as the criminals, said the court was but a "theater," tried to intimidate the judge, and insisted on being called "President of Iraq." "I am Saddam Hussein, president … Continue reading Saddam Is In the Cage
Hillary Clinton for V.P.?
The Drudge Report says: Official Washington and the entire press corps will be rocked when Hillary Rodham Clinton is picked as Kerry's VP and a massive love fest will begin!

Feel Safer?
You should:The Sept. 11 Commission has found that the Bush administration's war on terror has severely impaired al Qaida's ability to organize another spectacular attack against the U.S. homeland by capturing or killing the deadly terror group's key leaders, drying up their financial resources and severely limiting their ability to "strategize, plan attacks, and dispatch … Continue reading Feel Safer?
Free Speech Priorities
The Supreme Court says online pornography is protected speech, but political free speech before an election can be regulated. Perhaps if our Founding Fathers had written, "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom to distribute pornography," the Supreme Court might have found a way to regulate it, too.
John Kerry Refuses to Cross Picket Line
Kerry says he won't cross picket lines: BOSTON — Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (search) on Sunday canceled an appearance at the U.S. Conference of Mayors (search) rather than cross a promised police union picket line at the event. I wondered how Kerry was going to finagle delaying accepting the Democratic National Convention nomination. Remember … Continue reading John Kerry Refuses to Cross Picket Line
Bush Won in 2000 Due to "Missing Voters"
An interesting article at the Wall Street Journal this morning calculates the number of "Missing Voters" due to abortions since 1972. Then, armed with surveys and statistics, show that a) Democrats are 30% more likely than Republicans to have an abortion and b) children usually exhibit the voting characteristics of their parents. They then calculate … Continue reading Bush Won in 2000 Due to "Missing Voters"

Voting Games
Apparently, Kerry's guest appearance wasn't as warmly received as he would like today. Senator Bill Frist tossed a couple of barbs at Kerry for missing 80% of the votes this year, then announced the vote would slip a day. Kerry had to leave, so apparently he won't be voting on this issue after all. Raspberries … Continue reading Voting Games
Breaking News: Kerry Makes Senate Appearance
That's funny; when Kerry appears in the Senate, it makes news.Of 132 votes in the Senate this year, Kerry has voted just 14 times, according to an Associated Press tally. Massachusetts Republican Lt.

It Was a Fun Party Until I Knew Who Was Paying For It
Thanks to a Wizbang lead, I can answer SondraK's recent question about why Air America was no longer on the air. SondraK? An Air America listener? Perhaps she takes Zantax afterwards. Air America went on the air with great fanfare, throwing lavish parties and promising to uproot Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves. The only problem … Continue reading It Was a Fun Party Until I Knew Who Was Paying For It

I'm Not Talking About Clinton's Book
It's basically a non-event. What we want to know, he's already told us in interviews this weekend. A) He had sex with Monica "because he could;" B) He fought impeachment because it was a "badge of honor." In other words, he committed adultery and lied and it's everybody else's fault. Yawn. We already knew that. … Continue reading I'm Not Talking About Clinton's Book
New York Times Owes Bush an Apology
First, the New York Times calls for Bush to apologize to the American people for lying - that the 9/11 commission has debunked the President's assertion that there was a connection between Saddam Hussein and 9/11. Nevertheless, the Bush administration convinced a substantial majority of Americans before the war that Saddam Hussein was somehow linked … Continue reading New York Times Owes Bush an Apology
Clinton Supports War on Iraq
"I have repeatedly defended President Bush against the left on Iraq, even though I think he should have waited until the U.N. inspections were over," Clinton said in a Time magazine interview that will hit newsstands Monday, a day before the publication of his book "My Life." Clinton, who was interviewed Thursday, said he did … Continue reading Clinton Supports War on Iraq

Ronald Reagan's portrait, created with the jelly beans he loved so much.We know, as he always said, that America's best days are ahead of us.

LA Times – The Michael Moore of Newspapers
The LA Times is reporting that "Democrat John Kerry has a solid lead over President Bush among voters nationwide." Never fear, brave conservatives.

Those accusations were never proven, and even … Continue reading LA Times – The Michael Moore of Newspapers

Ronald Reagan Has Died
Ronald Reagan was the first President I voted for in 1980; a civics high school project had us identify what values were important to us, then identify a candidate that most closely matched those values.

From the Associated Press - WASHINGTON - U.S. employers hired almost a quarter-million new workers in May, swelling payrolls by nearly 1.2 million for the year so far in a jobs market steadily gaining steam ahead of November's presidential election. Hmm... 1.2 million, divided by 5 months so far this year... 240,000 jobs per month … Continue reading More Jobs, More Jobs, More Jobs
Kerry's Against Nuclear Weapons
A common tactic when politicking is speaking out against something that everybody agrees with. "I am against setting little old ladies on fire, vote for me!" implying, of course, that your opponent must be for whatever hideous thing you are against.Kerry's speaking out against nuclear weapons now, which is a good thing. I wouldn't want … Continue reading Kerry's Against Nuclear Weapons
Relax, Al. Relax.
My son and I pulled up Paint Shop tonight, and decided Al Gore needed to relax a bit. We gave him a little treat to help him lighten up.Though he still looks a little angry that he has to eat cotton candy.
This would be a great day to rant…
