WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A campaign worker for President Bush said on Thursday American workers unhappy with low-quality jobs should find new ones — or pop a Prozac to make themselves feel better.
“Why don’t they get new jobs if they’re unhappy — or go on Prozac?” said Susan Sheybani, an assistant to […]

I ignored the 1968 convention. While the Yippies and protesters had their day, I was a bit self absorbed. I was focussing on things like crawling, babbling, and processing solid food for the first time. I don’t regret the way I spent my time (I still resort to these skills on occasional […]

It looks like I got my facts wrong. I arrived lat night, intending to drop my cat off at my apartment and head straight to the Democratic National Convention to make a speech and see if I could muscle the nomination away from John Kerry.
It turns out that the Democrats are in Boston.
Clearly, this […]

This blog is cursed this week. Cursed.
I’d just written an amusing explanation of the incredible discovery of Bush’s lost military records. And then my browser crashed. I haven’t worked on a Windows PC for a while, and I’d forgotten that they only work for so long before something horrible happens, […]

All right, I’m not keeping a diary. But I have a few minutes here as I wait for some elements that need to be added to tomorrow’s show. Oh yes, I’m the kind of guy who has to approve “elements” and “edits.” I’m also the sort of fellow who doesn’t sleep and […]

Wow, you know, it’s not as easy as I thought it’d be. The full-time TV writing gig combined with my Presidential campaign and my in-house space program have conspired to make this a pretty light week for blogging. My apologies, gentlemen and ladies, my apologies.
After next week, things’ll become a bit more active […]

It’s not the scathing report about British pre-war intelligence that gets me. It’s that idiotic Tony Blair and the dangerous precedent that he set with his thoughtless reaction.
“No one lied, no one made up the intelligence. I accept full personal responsibility … for any errors that were made.”
WHAT!? Doesn’t this jerk […]

From Reuters: Bush Insists He Has Made America Safer
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. - Under fire for intelligence failures at home and abroad, President Bush tried on Monday to convince American voters he has made them safer since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and told them “we were right to go into Iraq.”

When John Kerry picked John Edwards as his running mate this week, there was a lot of excitement, of course, almost as much as when I chose a cyborg rat to run with me, or when I chose Peter Sagal to replace the rat. We presidential candidates know that our choice of running mates […]
