This Web Site is Beautiful!!!
Kudos to Mike and Dr. Payne. This looks fantastic! A web site worthy of the Bishop DuBourg tradition.
Election Review Part I
George W. Bush’s achievement in the election of 2004 ranks as one of the greatest political achievements of a century.
The Losers
Just took a quick trip through DemocraticUnderground. Hehehehehe. Oh, there’s such joy in Mudville.
Exit Polls
I’m not buying the story that yesterday’s leaked, mid-day exit poll results were innocently in err.
The MSM
The networks and newspapers are not calling states they know Bush has won in order to not force Kerry to concede.
What The Election Portends
We know these things: The American people have re-elected President Bush The American people have given his party a stronger hand in the US Senate The American people have given his party a stronger hand in the US House of Representatives The American people have given his party a stronger hand in state governorships Taken together, Election 2004 can be seen as nothing short of an endorsement of President Bush’s policies and the Republic view of our country and its place in the world.
Assuring His Fate
John Kerry has apparently decided to contest the presidential election in the courts by forcing Ohio, to count its 150,000 provisional ballots.
It's 10:00 in St. Louis
I’m drinking Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel (all time favorite wine). Bush is up by 1/4 million votes in Florida with 90% of the votes counted.
The Plan
I’m going to the store to get beer and wine. When I’m confident that I know the outcome of the election, I will open one or the other: Wine if Bush, beer if Kerry.
Polls Closed
On most of the East Coast and Midwest. At the top of the hour, projections have Kerry up 77 to 66.
South Carolina
I understand caution, but South Carolina is going Bush. I get the feeling the networks are declaring the Palmetto State as “too close to call” to give Kerry hopefuls hope out West.
Election Prediction
For what it’s worth–this is my most optimistic guess: Beginning with WSJ’s 216-203 Bush, I see the Toss Ups falling like this:
Anti-Republican Violence
In today’s OpinionJournal.com (Wall Street Journal), John Fund details recent AFL-CIO criminal activity aimed at intimidating Republicans in Missouri, Florida, and Michigan.
ABC News Director Tells Staff To Favor Kerry in Reporting
Read for yourself. My headline is my judgement. (Thanks to Drudge) Coupled with Howard Fineman’s assessment that the press has moral reasons to bury news that might help Bush, the conspiracy of the MSM against the president is more or less conceded by the conspirators themselves.
Debate II: What to make of it
I didn’t see or hear the debate. Instead, I read bloggers' reactions this morning.
Open Letter to Howard Fineman
You and the rest of the main stream have timed things well. Let the President rise a bit, then flood the airwaves and papers with bad news.
Why Pro-Choicers Should Fear Kerry
If Kerry has his way, the price of an abortion will increase dramatically, because Kerry wants the government to pay for them.
Turning on the Darkness
I turned my back to the darker world many years ago. I trained my focus on lighter things and happier sounds.
VP Debate:
John Edwards is a lightweight. He has called Cheney a liar twice, and Cheney has not responded.
VP Debate
Dick Cheney is really, really good. He should be on more often. He instills confidence.
It's Kerry's Race to Lose
Only the blindness of emotional loyalty would allow someone to watch the first of 3 presidential debates and conclude that President Bush demonstrated he was fit to run the country.
Christopher Hitchens: No one says it better
No one alive describes the stakes in the war on terror better than Christopher Htchens.
In Case Europeans Happen By
I think that most of our allies–meaning more than 50% of the populations of the several countrie–are Nancy boys.
NYTimes Looking for Hope
In this front page NYTimes.com story, the paper argues that Democrats are pummelling Republicans in registering new voters in swing states, specifically, Florida and Ohio.
24% of Democrats Are Ashamed of What They Do
While only 8% of Republics are ashamed of their jobs. What other conclusion can we draw from the fact that, according to OpenSecrets.
Buy Beer for Soldiers--Not Andrew Sullivan
National Review Online has a link to a story about soldiers in Iraq who’ve created a website that allows us back home to buy a beer for a soldier over the internet.

Kerry Operative Pressured Burkett for Memos
UPDATE: I have deleted the story that used to be her because Burkett has apparently recanted.
Kerry's First Defeat: 1972
Thanks to Poliblogger for this link. There is something chilling in reading this article top to bottom, perhaps more so because 1972 is the beginning of my political awakening.
John Kerry Knows Iraq Better Than Iraqis?
In the crassest act of political desparation since Richard Nixon waved the list of communist contributors in Helen Gehagen Douglas’s face, John Kerry today told the heroic interim PM of Iraq that the PM doesn’t know Iraq as well as Kerry does.

CBS News Ties to Kerry Campaign
One thing we’ve learned from the CBS Memogate unraveling: if you need to get in touch with the Kerry Campaign, call CBS News.
Some Sanctions Work
I usually scoff at sanctions, like when the UN imposes sanctions against Iraq so that Kofi’s son can make millions violating them, but I propose two sanctions against CBS News that will have a desirable effect on the Tiffany network’s credibility:
CBS: Unanswered Questions
Ed Gillespie on CBS’s responsibilities: “In an effort to regain the trust of the American people CBS should not only investigate the process that led to the use of these documents but they should identify immediately those engaged in possible criminal activity who attempted to use a news organization to affect the outcome of a Presidential election in its closing days.
George W Bush Never Drilled in Alabama

Most of the world knows that a little girl in West Virginia had her Bush-Cheney sign ripped from her tiny hands by angry Democrats at a John Edwards rally on Wednesday.
Self-serving, Pompous, Smug Bastards!!!!!!!
There is no other way to describe CBS News. They have proven to have no concern whatsoever about journalism integrity.
Dan Rather and the Mea Culpa
After reading William Safire’s piece on CBS’s fraud, I am convinced that CBS will have to retract and apologize before the week is out.
The Sugar Coat Memo is a Fraud
Having spent 9 years as a Personnel Officer in the Navy, I can tell you that the Sugar Coat memo is likely a fraud.

CBS vs. The Press
I watched the CBS Evening News tonight, so I couldn’t see the competition.
Dan Rather Source of Documents?
Yesterday, I conjectured that Dan Rather fabricated the Bush ANG documents as a vendetta against the Bushes for 41’s undressing of Rather on the CBS Evening News in 1988–the interview that turned the election in Bush’s favor.
Former Navy Personnel Officer Explains Why The "Sugar Coat" Memo is Likely a Fraud
Something on TimeIsAFactor.com caught my attention. One of the 4 CBS memos about George W.
National Guard Document Fraud Will Decide Election
It’s pretty clear that two of the document CBS aired were fraudulent. Assuming that CBS News retracts them on tonight’s Evening News (and there are indications that Dan Rather will make and on-air apology), George Bush will win the election in November with an 8% to 12% popular vote margin and at least 100 vote margin in the Electoral College.
Rather Evades Points of Dispute
On the CBS Evening News tonight, Dan Rather lied about the reasons for questioning the authenticity of the National Guard documents he likely typed at home before cutting and pasting a dead man’s signature.

Nick Berg's Dad's a Commie--go figure
Did you read the quotes from the Reagan haters I posted earlier? Did you read, with some mild skepticism, my description of the mid-range nuke protesters I met in Europe?

CNN/Time Poll
For poll junkies, today’s CNN/Time poll is loaded with interesting tidbits: * Dean’s support is slipping, no doubt due to the doctor’s idiotic statements, Biblical errors, short temper, and whining * Several Democrats (Kerry, Clark, Lieberman, Gephardt) seem to be getting stronger, perhaps because they’re buying air time to compete with the hours of free time Dean has gotten since last June * Bush’s approvals keep going up:** 61% approve of his job in Iraq** 58% approve the president’s overal foreign policy** 54% approve the president’s handling of the economy * This graphic is the most revealing, though, on the Democrats:

Will Deaniacs Vote?
It is easy to get young people riled up, as William F. Buckely points out.
