SEPTEMBER 12—North Carolina cops are searching for a guy who successfully passed a $200 bill bearing George W. Bush’s portrait and a drawing of the White House complete with lawn signs reading “We like ice cream” and “USA deserves a tax cut.” The phony Bush bill—a copy of which you’ll find below—was presented to a cashier at a Food Lion in Roanoke Rapids on September 6 by an unidentified male who was seeking to pay for $150 in groceries. Remarkably, the cashier accepted the counterfeit note and gave the man $50 change.
The bill itself (there’s a picture in the source link) is hilarious.
Asked how it feels to have Ted Kennedy stumping for him now, Kerry says, “It’s neat—pinch me; is this really happening?” Yet when invited to dispute the idea that “Kennedy” is a dirty word, he answers by saying that any attempt to link him to Kennedy’s record “is not going to work, it’s so silly and infantile.”
So, the implication is that is great to have Ted Kennedy’ support even though it’s a smear to be accused of having similar political views as him?
Without naming anybody, Kerry said he had received words of encouragement from leaders abroad who were eager to see him defeat Bush on Nov. 2.
“I’ve met foreign leaders who can’t go out and say this publicly, but boy they look at you and say, ‘You’ve got to win this, you’ve got to beat this guy, we need a new policy,’ things like that,” he said.
Kerry wants American citizens to support because foreign leaders he’s too embarrassed to name want him to be president?
P.S. I’ve got a trackback by someone who claims that Kerry didn’t say this. But then why didn’t he deny it himself? Why did he answer questions about it as if that’s what he said, rather than indicating that it was a misquote? Whether or not Kerry said it then, he’s said it since. Or is the next claim going to be that Kerry was confused by reading his quote in the newspaper?
Canada’s most influential lobby group for women’s rights has been silenced, so crippled by debt and abandoned by women across the country that it’s now too broke to answer the phone. […]
A group of about five women - all that’s left after the NAC stopped being able to pay its president and staff in 2001 - is lobbying desperately for support to rebuild.
“NAC is in crisis,” said Bev Meslo, the group’s B.C. wing representative.
Crisis? Really? What was your first clue?
