"An exercise in lunacy...."
(You Gotta Have) Faith - this has probably been posted on every left-leaning political blog in existence by now which means if you haven't read it yet, click that link to Ron Suskind's Sunday Times Bush magazine profile NOW because you need to peep game on just how crazy this president really is.
And the fallacy of the Kerry=flip flopper argument. I can't even believe this is still being discussed after Kerry put it to rest during the debates but, oh well. (The New Republic)
Iraq is completely out of control. (San Fran Chronicle)
From Newsweek: "There is no sense of safety anywhere in Baghdad. Journalists have became targets." And related from The New York Times: For reporters, much of Iraq is now a no-go zone. They are an endangered species. - like I said....
"There should no longer be any doubt that the war in Iraq is an exercise in lunacy." - or like Bob says. (The New York Times)
The Care International charity says its chief of operations in Iraq has been kidnapped in Baghdad. Do I have to add anything here or have I made my point clear by now? (CNN.com)
No? One more then: the U.S. federal deficit surged to a record $413 billion in 2004, the Treasury Department announced Thursday. (CNN.com)
Medford teachers Janet Voorhees [ed note: sister of Jason?], Candice Julian, Tania Tong were kicked out of George W. Bush’s October 14 Medford event for wearing shirts saying “Protect Our Civil Liberties” - now why did those terrorists attack us again according to the president? Oh yeah, they hate our "freedom." Right.... (Bend.com)
And who knew the Flu Vaccine shortage would be become a key election issue? (Newsweek)
Taking My Country Back - cheesy and earnest but so needed (via Zentronix)
So let's make it happen - if the election infrastructure isn't completely f-cked up like even George Will predicts. (Newsweek)
Let's see:
- Few Glitches Reported in Early Fla. Voting
- Problems Crop Up in Fla. Early Voting
And they bitch about CBS News? ABC News, make up your f-cking minds, which one is it? Ah f-ck it, let me just take the word of a still credible (?) news source like the BBC.
Hopefully with all the madness right now though this election result prediction will hold up through Nov. 2.
