In my household, Kerry won last night’s debate by a fleck. The fleck in question was saliva, spittle, to be precise, and it belonged to President George W. Bush.
Or did it?
Bush looked fine when he first appeared, but after a few minutes of vigorous debating, the right corner of Bush’s mouth became the base […]

It’s unbelievable. Thank heaven the Bush administration’s got surrogates who are willing to speak out about the Kerry campaign’s ghoulish exploitation of Chrisopher Reeve’s death. Bill Frist had the courage to come right out and say it:
‘’I find it opportunistic to use the death of someone like Christopher Reeve — I […]

- Sinclair Broadcasting’s VP summed up the controversy over the anti-Kerry documentary this way: “Is it (illegal) because there are some elements of this that may reflect poorly on John Kerry? If you use that logic and reasoning, that means every car bomb in Iraq would be an in-kind contribution to John […]

From The New York Times - Up to 62 television stations owned or managed by the Sinclair Broadcasting Group - many of them in swing states - will show a documentary highly critical of Senator John Kerry’s antiwar activities 30 years ago within the next two weeks, Sinclair officials said yesterday.

Those pesky State of the Union addresses! Just when we’d put that whole “yellowcake” thing was behind us, we revisit this year’s speech:

Early on, Edwards brought up a standard Dem talking point: that US forces have borne 90% of the casualities in Iraq. Here’s Cheney’s response […]

It’s happened again. My running mate, Peter Sagal, has been unaccountably shut out of tonight’s VP debate. That’s a disappointment; in a debate that’s sure to feature a fire-and-ice contrast, Peter was ideally suited to play the, uh, “Derek Smalls” role.
Still, it figures to be a fun night for the whole family. […]

LINDA: …build-up of magma underneath the surface, but only time will tell. Tom?
TOM: Thank you, Linda. Linda Peterson, reporting to you live from five miles away from Mount St. Helens, where just hours ago we saw another venting of some steam, indicating that a major eruption might possibly happen at some […]

I thought last night’s debate was a good one, for as far as it went. Kerry won, I suppose, but it would have been hard to lose to Bush, who seemed to be alternating between stuttering and temporary fugue states (the man really needs an anti-lock braking system installed in his head). But […]
