It’s really kind of funny that the latest Dem attack on Bush is based on the idea that he was a “fortunate son” with family connections. In contrast to John Kerry, who was born in a log cabin?

Yeah, I found that quite bizarre as well, given how Kerry acquired his lifestyle.
Sadly, we can all probably agree that it is a cheap shot to accuse even a Democrat of supporting John Kerry.

One JDAM … $18,000
Liberating two countries and taking the war to the enemy . . . $200 billion.
Sticking it to the UN … priceless.
With apologies to David Cohen.
Alone in his meditation chamber Sith Lord Darth Rove bows before an holographic image of Emperor Bush:
Bush: There is a disturbance in the polls.
Rove: I have felt it my master.
Bush: It is the old Rather. You must destroy him.
Rove: If he could be turned to the Republican side, he could be a valuable dupe, er… powerful ally.
Bush: Can you do this?
Rove: He will join us or be cancelled!Later on a wind swept cat walk, after a light saber slices off both hand and microphone…
Rather: I’ll never join you! Obi Wan Kerry warned me about you.
Rove: Obi Wan Kerry didn’t tell you everything.
Rather: He told me enough. He said you ruined my source.
Rove: I AM YOUR SOURCE!
Rather: Noooooooo !!!!!
Now that Republican allied 527 groups are getting some traction, Newsweek decides they are an abuse. As usual, it’s time to put a stop to things or move on when an issue is no longer working for the Democratic Party.
Teresa Heinz Kerry, encouraging volunteers as they busily packed supplies Wednesday for hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean, said she was concerned the effort was too focused on sending clothes instead of essentials like water and electric generators.
“Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids,” said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. “Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes.”
Because, you know, those Caribean isles are edenic gardens where no protection is needed from Mother Nature.

American Jews who do not like Bush are quick to point out that the Religious Right and President Bush are only supportive of Israel because it fits into their beliefs that there must be a state of Israel in existence when the Christian Messiah comes. […] as far as Israel is concerned, when the Messiah comes, we will have plenty of time to ask him if this is a return visit or not.
Dozens of Iraqis held a demonstration in Baghdad today to express solidarity with two French reporters and two Italian aid workers held hostage by militant groups in Iraq. ”No to violence and the executions and kidnappings of foreigners”, read one banner brandished by the demonstrators. “Let us live in peace and friendship,” read another.
Leading the procession were around 50 disabled people in wheelchairs and children holding flowers.
Classic good news and bad news. The good news is the demonstration, which is wonderful. The bad news is that the AFP thinks that a demonstration with 50 people leading it counts as only “dozens”. Innumeracy, bias, or both?
