"America's favorite totalitarian, theocratic monarchy...."
If there are still people planning on voting for this man, like Jadakiss says, can you please tell me WHY?
For the Democrats out there who thought Sen. John McCain was one of the few Republicans above the partisan fray and who could have seriously been on the Kerry ticket, I hope this story finally lays that theory to rest. (The New York Times)
And could the judge's decision down in Florida end up being the straw that breaks the back of Kerry's so-far lackluster campaign when the election results are in come November? (CNN.com | Washington Post)
Why did Bush let the assualt weapons ban lapse this week despite there seeming to be clear evidence that it worked? Yet another Bush misstep. (Bureau of Justice Statistics)
And yet another Bush flip flop. (The New York Times)
On the other hand, even though they stopped short of any real action, should I at least applaud the Bush administration for finally taking the initial step of censuring the religiously repressive, terrorist-supporting Saudi regime for the first time? Maybe we're finally getting real about this so-called US "ally" in the "war on terror" although we'll see how this plays out from here. (Washington Post)
Can someone give me the 30 second version of what's going on with the Sudan situation? I've kind of lost the plot since Powell declared it a genocide a while back. (Guardian)
Many have said Kerry's chances for winning this election could come down to his performance in the debates which is why Bush probably only wants to do two of them. (Daily News)
Oops, sorry Diebold, but I guess it would have been feasible to get a paper record on an e-voting machine after all. Bu now that they and their rival manufacturers have dragged out the debate with arguments to the contrary for so long now, at this point it's probably too late to retrofit and test machines to do so before the election. (The New York Times)
And finally, despite Bush and the Evangelical Right's likely claims to the contrary, don't they know that Jesus is:
Wrong on social services,
Wrong on crime,
Wrong on defense and,
Wrong for America? (spotted via Pop Life)
