A Bush attorney resigns today for advising the Swifties, and helps Kerry finally find his campaign platform: Vote for me, I'll comply with all FEC regulations. Forget terrorism - the real danger to our well-being is attack ads. If this hurts Bush, he has no one to blame but himself for not vetoing the atrocious McCain-Feingold bill.

Ok, I had to take a minute from work and blog-building to comment on the media's stunning revelation that Kerry wants Rumsfeld to resign. No shit. Next thing you know, Kerry is going to call for Bush and his entire cabinet to step down in January. Last I heard, no prisoners at Abu Grahb had their village torched. Isn't that what Kerry admitted to doing in Vietnam? I hereby call on John Kerry

Hey folks, I'm still alive - my normal blogging time has been taken up for the past couple of days with other obligations. Also, I'm upgrading to Wordpress and having to learn about servers and php and stuff which I have no experience with.

It's starting to sound like the Swift Boat vets did not have their ducks in a row before beginning this ad campaign; Ken Cordier, who appears in the newest ad, has resigned from his role as volunteer advisor to Bush-Cheney 04. Certainly the Swifties have legal counsel; how did this get past Quality Control? Did no one look at the 527 rules? The media is of course dedicated to seeing John Kerry

This is the cover of The New Soldier, a documentary photo book about the 1971 vet protest in Washington, with text by John Kerry. Long out of print, it's fetching hundreds of dollars online. Here's a recent article on it from The Weekly Standard. I post this for no reason, really; I just find it interesting, and I haven't seen it anywhere but on a rather odd anti-Kerry vet site.

3000 right-wing extremists marched today in Wunsiedel to commemorate the death of Hitler crony Rudolph Hess; 110 are arrested, 74 of whom are identified as members of a Neo-Nazi movement, carrying banned Nazi symbols and weapons. No word yet how many were carrying Bush-Cheney '04 placards.

Why are bombings by Spanish seperatists ETA still happening with regularity? Because they learned from the 3/11 Madrid bombings by Al Qaida that terrorism works. The Spanish people surrendered, the government changed hands, and the troops pulled out of Iraq - exactly what the terrorists demanded. So is it any wonder that ETA has continued its operations?

On Hannity & Colmes tonight, they aired footage of some sort of ceremony back in the nineties, where two of the Swift Boat Vets For Truth were praising Kerry's service. The Vets are also in the new ad. This doesn't look good for the Swifties' credibility, but I don't know the context. If there's anything I've learned from watching the Democratic Party, it's that context is everything.

WOW. Just heard the new Swift Boat Veterans ad on Rush - it literally gave me goosebumps. Devastating. Absolutely devastating. It has no accusation of lying - just testimonials from the men Kerry accused of atrocities interspersed with clips of Kerry's Congressional testimony. Incredible. How can the liberals lie their way out of Kerry's own testimony? The media and the Kerry campaign are

That fearless defender of Islam, Al-Sadr, suddenly isn't so visible, now that his men have given up the fight (and their weapons). Remember all that stuff about defending Najaf with every last drop of his blood? Scratch that. Don't get him wrong - he's willing to be a martyr. Just not today. Let's not be hasty!

Great - I oversleep this morning and the blogosphere explodes about the New York Times having shat in the punchbowl. Quick thoughts: The Times is becoming the Newsmax of the Left: openly partisan. This election matters more to them than any since Reagan, and they're simply not going to tell the truth about John Kerry. Period. Bloggers are going to have to keep up the pressure; the story is

John Kerry accused President Bush on Thursday of relying on front groups to challenge his record of valor in Vietnam, asserting, "He wants them to do his dirty work."Kerry also criticized Bush for not condemning the swifties.

What the hell is going on in Najaf? First he accepted the deal, then he rejected the deal, then accepted it again (but no one actually heard him accept it so it doesn't count). . . The reports that Sadr had accepted the terms and agreed to disarm were incorrect, apprently. This is getting so absurd that it reminds me of a Bugs Bunny riff.

A bomb has been defused near Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's villa after a visit by Tony Blair. Leftist group Proletarian Combatant Groups (NPC) has claimed responsibility. Story here.

This blog tends to towards the critical and sarcastic, but at the moment I'd like to say something positive. Today is Wictory Wednesday, and I've decided to take a moment to write about why George W. Bush has my vote again this November. I'm voting for President Bush because his number one priority above all others is the defense of the American people, and our way of life, from all threats,

My girlfriend just got back from a local coffee shop here in Birmingham; the shop is near the most posh restaurant in town, Bodega. She said there were no fewer than 20 bicycle cops outside the place, and around a dozen squad cars. It was then that I realized, to my dismay, that I had forgotten that JOHN EDWARDS IS HERE IN TOWN TONIGHT! Dang, man, I would've loved to have had a word or two

This is shameful. Absolutely shameful. While on a State Department-sponsored tour in Memphis, Tennessee, a group of Iraqi visitors were not only barred from entering City Hall by Councilman Joe Brown, but were robbed at gunpoint the next day.

Kerry can't even decide which band is better, the Beatles or Stones! And then there's this:I love Dylan. He's brilliant. I mean, I can name any number of his songs that I love, but you know, 'Lay across my big brass bed' -- "Lay, Lady, Lay."He can name any number of them, so long as that number is one.

We've seen lately what seems to be a disturbing trend in American politics: outlaw officeholders who disregard the law and enact illegal policies by fiat.

The Left always has better propaganda artists than the Right, at least in this country. It's a shame these artists use their talents for wickedness and tomfoolery; the messages are vile but some of the images are creative. (Hat tip to Blogs of War.)

My comments on two Daily Kos posts today. The first reports that some news outlets have referred to Al Sadr's rebels as "anti-Iraqi" forces. This is distasteful to the Daily Kos, ostensibly because it is untrue. To Kos, the rebels are "anti-US", not "anti-Iraq", because the Iraqi government is illegitimate, having been appointed by the illegitimate Bush regime. If one follows that thinking

Just heard a soundbite on the radio from Alan Keyes, saying he would support the suspension of all federal income taxation for African-Americans who could trace their ancestry back to slaves, for the next couple of generations. I am going to reserve judgment on this proposal until I get off work. In the meantime, let's all just sit back and marvel for a while at the size of Alan Keyes' gigantic

Communism ain't dead, it just smells funny: Maoist rebels in Nepal order businesses to close. In similar news, Venezuela's Leftist President Hugo Chavez has survived recall by a vote of 58%. Upon hearing of the victory, Chavez immediately appointed election monitor Jimmy Carter as Venezuela's Foreign Minister. Chavez's buddy Fidel Castro is reported to be throwing a kegger in celebration.

If anyone out there has some time on their hands and wants a chuckle, take a look at this post from Talking Points Memo, wherein Mr. Marshall nuances the hell out of Kerry's nuanced "position" on Iraq. Most of it is dense and convoluted, but I get his drift. This, however, is just too much:One might well have gone into the whole drama thinking Iraq had a retooled WMD program. But inspections

According the BBC, Charlie Watts (the drummer for the Rolling Stones, for those who don't know) has throat cancer, and is undergoing treatment. He's expected to make a full recovery. The story says Charlie quit smoking in the 60's. I find that very hard to believe! Anyway, hope he gets well soon.

Thanks to reader GB who took me to school on the Sedition Act. After refreshing myself on what it actually says, I realized I had "overspoken". I would of course never advocate jailing someone for being merely critical of the government. Thanks to GB

UPDATE 4:04 PM Wonkette has a truly ridiculous take on McGreevey's resignation:We hope that someday it won't mean much to go on national television and announce, "I am a gay American." Someday, we hope that kind of announcement

Yes, it's anecdotal, but please, go read this interview CB from My War conducted with an Iraqi. Again, if you're not reading My War daily, you're missing out. (I can just hear the liberals now - "It's all fake! It's made-up! It's propaganda!") UPDATE 3:29 PM Say Anything also blogged this (I just realized it); read Rob's take on it, too.

Sounds like Alterman is not the only Lefty worrying about his fellow-travelers at the RNC convention: Daily Kos also offers some advice to the Wacko Nation.

Good news from the Left Coast: California Supreme Court voids Frisco gay marriages. Suprisingly, it was a unanimous decision which stated that the mayor of San Fran illegally issued the marriage licenses, overstepping his authority. This is especially good news coming off the heels of the stunning victory of traditional families in Missouri. Now that the George Wallace of the radical gays has

Just read the latest column from George F. Will (or as I like to call him, G-Spot). He criticizes the Bush administration for the terror scare last week, and get this: he questions the timing. His source for this questioning is The New Republic. Since when does my man G-Spot go around quoting The New Republic as a source?In formulating and publicizing its policies regarding homeland security,

Eric Alterman, in his latest post, wisely decries the planned RNC Convention protests.Anarchists and idiots ruined the Seattle protests and the media - loving conflict and hating context - will eat any violence and property destruction, even bad language, to smear not only the protesters but also anyone and everyone who opposes Bush.

An extra 1.3 million barrels a day, according to the BBC. The timing of this is very suspicious - right before the Saudi lapdogs convention in NYC! No doubt some jawboning has occurred. This cannot stand. We must raise fuel taxes immediately to discourage any further pre-election economic growth. UPDATE 1:10 PM Oil prices fall from record highs

Keep an eye out during the Olympics for the women's shooting competition; apparently it is one of the few Olympic events in which Iranian women can participate while wearing traditional full hejab. Photos of this should do wonders for the image of Iran around the world.

Finally, someone gets it right about Wilco. JB over at Fraters Libertas sums up in one sentence what it means to be a fan of the Radiohead of the Midwest:Wilco is music for people who care more about what it means to own a Wilco CD than what is actually on the CD itself. Bingo. It didn't have to be that way. Once upon a time, Wilco was a rock and roll band. Sure, they weren't the kind of rock

Harry Shearer, the voice of about half the characters on The Simpsons, says the show has run out of ideas.It makes me sad. They used to have whole scenes. Season four looks very good to me now. I'd rather not be there right now. Fortunately I'm doing a lot of other things.Could it be that Shearer, a very bright man, finds The Simpsons' recent political swipes as tedious as I do?

Backcountry Conservative reports that a Pakistani man has been arrested photographing buildings across the Southeast. Let me just say this: they can do all kinds of awful things, but if they try to target the Sunshpere, they've crossed the line.
