Wow. I’ve been saying for awhile that American conservatives should be opposed to what Bush is doing to their party, and that as odd as it sounds, the best hope for the future of the GOP is a Kerry win. Four more years of Bush might screw the Republican party for generations, if not permanently. This article by Scott McConnell

Last night ABC News, in its continuing coverage of Decision 2004®, showed us John Kerry out bird hunting with some folks in Ohio. Four geese “paid the ultimate price,” we were told, although it’s not clear whether Kerry was the trigger man in any of the deaths. The reason for the gandercide is that Kerry apparently feels he needs to

Nice little post-mortem from Alessandra Stanley….

Some thoughts on the Sox/Yanx series. 1: Curt Schilling is much man. That is all ye know and all ye need to know. 2: I can’t believe that we actually saw two ump huddles result in the right call in one game.

I’d want to see if the facility in which the speech was being given had a loud enough PA system so that the candidate could be heard over the laughter. Seriously, this would be significantly funnier than most of the sitcoms on TV

Stewart segment transcript.

This may be the worst ass-whipping that anybody in TV news has ever taken. Stewart is beyond brilliant. Go watch it right now.

On my earlier post, fings offered this comment, which I absolutely had to drag up onto the top page: Subject: The problem with “balance”. If Bush said “The moon is made out of cheese.” and Kerry said “The moon is made of rock, similar to that of Earth.”, the headline would be “Bush, Kerry: Opinions on Moon differ.” I spend
