How many roads must a man travel down before he admits he is lost?


Tuesday, August 31, 2004


I just heard…

Charles Rangel (D-NY) say to Alan Colmes that (I’m paraphrasing just a bit) “...it bothers me when people use the Purple Heart for political purposes...”

WTF?

You folks will excuse me, I have to go buy a new Irony-Meter (TM). My old one just broke its needle…

UPDATE: He just scoffed at the concept of the people of Iraq being free.

Asshat comma wotta. Just to remind you folks, this is the dingbat that sponsored legislation to reinstate the military draft, just so he can be upset that kids are being drafted!!!

The new ad is out!

The new ad put out by the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth is now available. Thanks to the kind folks over at Ipse Dixit (which means “Because [he] said so!").

Anyhow, the video can be found here, or if you want your own copy, you can Right-Click here and watch it at your leisure. It’s even got a nice clip of John Kerry saying that he doesn’t even remember how many medals he threw away. I guess his memory was a bit faulty, which is odd, given how precisely he remembers those events more than ten times as many years later.

Maybe he was confused between the medals he earned and those he claimed…

Talk about coincidence

About a week ago, I was listed as “Site Of The Day” by John Hawkins, over at Right Wing News. (Thanks, John!) Yesterday, we had a mini-Instalanche, courtesy of our own John Cross, who pointed out (in an e-mail to the Instapundit) that he had gotten to a story before the esteemed Puppy Blender. Professor Reynolds then kindly updated his entry to include the URL of the story.

The coincidence is that we had exactly the same number of daily hits on those two days. (Link will expire in about three weeks, as the calendar progresses.)

And all the people said, “Heh.” Indeed.

If you need a break from politics

(like so many of us do), then I suggest you head over and check out this little tail, er… tale.

No, on second thought, I was right the first time.

It starts off normally enough, but I urge you in the strongest terms to have nothing drinkable within reach, because you might get tempted to take a sip while you’re reading, and I’m sure you’ll agree (after reading) that having anything in your mouth is a Bad Idea(TM).

Banzai!

Ollie North on Hanoi John

Oliver North (yes, that Oliver North - Marine Colonel, National Security Council Member under President Reagan, talk radio host, former Senatorial candidate from Virginia, and nationally-syndicated columnist and television host) has written an open letter to Senator “Hanoi John” Kerry, the soon-to-be-failed Democratic candidate for President.

It’s got some great lines in it, and is worth the read.

Great last line: “Even Jane Fonda apologized. Will you, John?”

RTWT.

(Tip O’ The Hat to Loyal Reader Darren.)

I am sorry.

I am going to be watching Sullivan’s reactions to the speeches at the RNC this week.  I know that his descent into Anti-Bush Land has been documented here several times (possibly ad nauseum), but the fact is that he has played himself as this conservative libertarian, and is now supporting Kerry, drives me to licking wasp tails.  I can’t help myself....

Please, friends.....read on.
