Sometimes the simplest ads, with the least gimmicks, are the best. A familiar somewhat strained human face talking about a real problem — nothing more, nothing less. Keep up the fight, Michael. See the ad here.
Ewwwwww!
TBogg was wondering why Ann Coulter in her column about the VP debates was so obsessed with John Edwards’ "girly hands". She referred to the supposed feminity of John Edwards’ hands several times. Was Ann Coulter secretly envious of Edwards’ "girlish" hands? Like TBogg, I’m betting so.
Good Timing
Last August, there was a little exchange with the President that went like this: Q Mr. President, a year ago in Evian, there was an expectation that in the ensuing months, weapons such as chemical or biological weapons, would be found in Iraq. I wonder if you can share with the American people your conclusions, based on what you’ve learned … Read More

Business School Professors Write To Bush
. . . and it isn’t very flattering. Bush’s saving grace? He probably doesn’t understand most of it (there aren’t, as far as we know, any pictures). Dear Mr. President: As professors of economics and business, we are concerned that U.S. economic policy has taken a dangerous turn under your stewardship. Nearly every major economic indicator has deteriorated since you … Read More
Here We Go Again
No joke. Take a close look at the Michigan ballot. See any problem with the presidential portion? Update: Okay. They’re going to fix it, I read.
When Bullshit Ruled The Earth . . .
With so many lies and distortions being tossed out by the Bush-Cheney team, I’m sure it is confusing. That’s why this is bound to happen now and then: President Bush in Wilkes-Barre, PA, this morning: "My opponent says he has a plan for Iraq. Parts of it should sound familiar — it’s already known as the Bush plan" President Bush … Read More
VP Debate Bloopers & Thoughts
It probably wasn’t a good idea for Cheney to recommend that debate watchers go to factcheck.com. Cheney meant to say factcheck.org, a rather decent non-partisan site which — by the way — you SHOULD be checking out regularly. But factcheck.com, on the other hand, points the web user to George Soros’ site. Ooops. It gets even worse though, because if … Read More
Sanctions Worked and Iraq Was Not A Gathering Threat
So says the United States government investigation. An extensive U.S. investigation has found that Iraq destroyed virtually all its chemical and biological munitions in 1991, a dozen years before President Bush ordered U.S. troops to invade based largely on the alleged threat posed by those weapons. The report will be presented Wednesday to a Senate committee by chief U.S. arms … Read More
Republican Shame Watch

The Michigan Republican Party has asked four county prosecutors to file charges against Moore, charging that his get-out-the-vote stunt amounts to bribery. Now, I haven’t researched this, but … Read More
Soldier’s Letters to Moore
As you may know, Michael Moore is coming out with a book of letters and emails that were sent to him from soldiers fighting in Iraq. The Guardian has an exclusive excerpt for those of who give a rat’s ass.
And It Is STILL A Non-Story!
Check out Bush’s cheat sheet:
If Bush Is So Good About Homeland Security . . .
. . . why did the U.S. Cybersecurity Chief just suddenly resign today from the Office of Homeland Security, because of "what he considers the department’s lack of attention paid to computer security issues"? (Source) Can’t be good news for Bush on the day following the debates.
Bush “Finds” Another Military Record Saying He Quit The Reserves
WASHINGTON – The White House said seven months ago that it had released all the records on President Bush (news – web sites)’s stateside military service during the Vietnam War, yet new records are still dribbling out as Election Day approaches. The White House on Wednesday night produced a November 1974 document bearing Bush’s signature from Cambridge, Mass., where he … Read More
Another Eisenhower Republican for Kerry
I’m not sure what an "Eisenhower Republican" is — I believe Clinton used the term to describe anyone who refused to go spend more federal money during a time of deficits (i.e., "Dubya is not an Eisenhower Republican — although Clinton ironically was one."). Anyway, this guy, being Eisenhower’s son and a Republican, is truly an Eisenhower Republican . . … Read More
