Some Thoughts on the OBL Tape

William Gibson thinks OBL would prefer to see Bush re-elected and that his new tape was a clever attempt at helping that happen: I wouldn’t go so far as to suggest that OBL fears Kerry any more than Bush. But Kerry can only comprise an unknown, and why allow the other team to introduce an [...]

Internet Vets for Truth

For the one or two people in the US that still need to be informed that Bush is pretty much a dangerous bozo, the Internet Vets for Truth give you tons of material as torrents and quicktime movies for consumption. This is a good central place with a bevy of clips from miscellaneous sources including [...]

Ouch, Caught Lying Again

Barrels inside the Al-Qaqaa facility appear on videotape shot by ABC television affiliate KSTP of St. Paul, Minn., which had a crew embedded with the 101st Airborne Division when it passed through Al-Qaqaa on April 18, 2003 — nine days after Baghdad fell.

More Kerry Stuff

Here’s a bit of an interesting quote from today’s AP article about the campaigning.  Kerry said: "About a year ago, when things weren’t going so well in my campaign, somebody called a radio talk show and they said, thinking they were just cutting me right to the quick, they said ‘John Kerry won’t be the [...]

W's Website Blocked Outside US

From the BBC: The international exclusion zone around georgewbush.com was spotted by net monitoring firm Netcraft which keeps an eye on traffic patterns across many different sites. Netcraft said that since the early hours of 25 October attempts to view the site through its monitoring stations in London, Amsterdam and Sydney failed. By contrast Netcraft’s [...]

Would Kerry Throw Us To The Wolves?

From factcheck.org’s new article about the already infamous ‘Wolves’ ad: A new Bush ad claims Kerry supported cuts in intelligence “so deep they would have weakened America ’s defenses” against terrorists, and shows a pack of hungry-looking wolves preparing to attack. Actually, the cut Kerry proposed in 1994 amounted to less than 4 percent, as [...]

More Republicans for Kerry

Here’s a very clever and persuasive site that is nothing but Republicans who are voting for Kerry and why.  Former Minnesota Republican governer, Elmer L Anderson says: "Kerry has … far superior intellect and character than Bush. He speaks honestly to the American people, his ethics are unimpeachable and, clearly…he has far better credentials…"

Another Clever Joke

A Joke I saw at Stephen Elliott’s site: Q: What’s the difference between the Iraq War and the Vietnam War? A: George W. Bush had a plan to get out of the Vietnam War.

How Skewed are the Polls?

Bush or Kerry – Are Pollsters Making the Connection? New CEA Survey Finds Consumer Shift to Cellular Phones, New Telephone Technologies Leave Millions out of Polling Process Perhaps I missed it because I never pay that much attention to polls anyway, but apparently polls rarely touch cell phone users.  I know that I rarely use [...]

How to Argue with Someone Who Deceives Themself

A new study shows (surprise!) that Bush supporters wrongfully believe things like Saddam was found to have a weapons program or WMD’s and that (!!) the rest of the world supports the US in invading Iraq.  "The roots of the Bush supporters’ resistance to information," according to Steven Kull, "very likely lie in the traumatic [...]
