What would Osama do?
Seriously, if Osama bin Laden was sitting down with an absentee ballot for the U.S. Presidentual election, what would he do?
Vote for a candidate who has vowed to stamp out terrorism in the world and supports the military
or...
Vote for a candidate who would merely reduce terrorism to a "nuisance level" and has a long history of betraying the military, both in speech and actions?
Now ask yourself: why would I have the same goals as Osama?

Another Kerry supporter comes forward...
Le Monde, a French newspaper, is endorsing John Kerry for U.S. President. His debating skills, internationalist vision, and war experience (as if the French can recognize war experience) are the cited reasons for this decision.
I figure as soon as they start sending me a ballot for their elections they can start voting in ours. Until then everybody who's not a U.S. citizen can shut up and stay out of our business.
American supporters of Kerry need to ask themselves why so many anti-Americans want a Kerry presidency.

And how can Columbus, Ohio
have 815,000 people age 18 and over but list 845,720 registered voters? Just how many dead people still vote?

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the voting booth...
Voters in Cuyahoga County, Ohio will be faced with a butterfly ballot more confusing than the famous Florida fiasco. Despite Pres. Bush being four lines below Kerry, the box for the punch hole is two lines above Kerry's.
Sample ballot
Does anyone think John Kerry's election lawyers will protest this unfair ballot? Me neither. The Democrats probably think this is reparation for Al Gore's loss in 2000.

Undecided about what?
If somebody doesn't care enough to make a decision by now, why would they make the effort to go vote. I think this wimpy two percent doesn't belong in the likely voter survey to start with.

Who's trying to steal the election?
John Kerry spent this week talking about his legions of attorneys, including six jet-powered "SWAT" teams gearing up to contest election results all over the country.
Now I find a column claiming George W. Bush is the one planning to go to court and steal the election. http://www.prospect.org/web/page.ww?section=root&name=ViewWeb&articleId=8796
I guess people have forgotten who filed the papers in Gore vs. the State of Florida in 2000. The only thing Bush did was win a ruling that the Florida Supreme Court couldn't rewrite the laws established by the Florida Legislature.

I'm back after over a year of forgetting I had a blog. What follows will be my random thoughts on the news of the day or just whatever is going on in my life.
