Watching Mrs. Bush tonight talk about her husband’s policies just shows a tremendous contrast between her and Big John’s wife.
A month ago, we saw Big John’s wife stand up before the Democratic National Convention and attempt to answer the question “Why should people vote for John Kerry?” by talking about………Teresa Heinz-Kerry.
Now, we hear [...]

I’m sitting here listening to Rudolph Guilani addressing the Republican National Convention (who gets the “Best Line of the Night Award” for “Ah! But he must have heard you booing”) when the reason why John Kerry has the support of the French.
Believe it or not, it has absolutely nothing to do with his or Mama [...]

….because I change pants less often than John Kerry changes positions.
….because I’ve seen fish fresh out of the water flip-flop less.

But, what [...]

I need to run some educational games for my kids. But the games we have (by Knowledge Adventure) won’t run on Linux under wine.

In the US Congress they have a practice known as “revise and extend” which allows someone making a speech to later edit that speech in the Congressional record. John Kerry’s campaign seems to think this is an acceptable practice for the transcripts of his speeches kept on his website.
Kevin McCullough reveals an example of [...]

No, this isn’t about his “Bring it on!”/”Mama T, make them stoooooooooooop!” flip-flop.
This is about that first wound that his campaign now admits might have been inadvertantly self-inflicted.
In Vietnam, the M79 was the grenade launcher that he would have used. You can find stats on its use at the Vietnam Database. For point [...]
