I am dumb-founded that no one has responded to this.

We're all waiting for Terry's email about it. DUH.

We're waiting until you actually address issues of national policy regarding war and invasion of other countries. That's more important. Reporting of voter intimidation will have to wait.

Hard to comment on something that is clearly excerpted from a larger work. I'd like to see it in full to get a sense of context. I suspect the manual speaks only to places where there have been perceived acts of voter intimidation in the past.

A typical worker would only have to work for two days, tax-free, to be able to afford a ticket to see his show.

Would that worker have to sign a loyalty oath before attending the show?

We're waiting for corroboration from a reputable news source.

We invaded Afghanistan and less than 3 years later, they have held the first democratic elections there without barely a hitch.

We invaded Iraq - removed a brutal tyrant (and correcting the mistakes of trusting him 20 years earlier as a buffer to Iran) - and liberated its people - who are on there way to similar democratic elections. Also benefitting the citizens of Israel, who have fewer Iraqi-paid assassins to worry about.

Countries like Libya have gotten in line. Pakistan is shaping up its act.

We are removing our troops (and all of the benefits that flow therefrom) from such non-Allies as Germany, Saudi Arabia and South Korea.

We have revealed the corruption at the heart and soul of the UN.

You happy, ratface?

Now back to the wage channel.

I have said everything I need to say on this subject in the 3 years during which you have not been around. A little respect, huh.

You mean Rosemary Kennedy is still undecided. Geez, Kerrey is even too liberal for the Kennedys.

BTW - when they aren't leaving women to drown, being tried for rape, strung out on drugs, or killing themselves and their wife and SIL because the idiot was flying a plane at night when he had no training to do so, they are doing things like this:

• Joe's oldest daughter, Rosemary, was considered shy and mentally limited - symptoms of what many suspect was dyslexia. For years the family had dealt with the problem by sending her away to various special schools and convents. By age twenty-one she had deteriorated greatly, giving way to tantrums, rages and violent behavior. Rosemary was beginning to understand that she would never measure up to her closest siblings, and the resulting frustration led to physical fights and, worse, long absences at night when she would be wandering the streets.
  
  Increasingly, Rosemary was seen as a liability to the family's political ambitions, and in1942, Joe moved to deal with the problem. Without telling anyone, not ever her mother, he arranged for his oldest daughter to have a prefrontal lobotomy at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C. The experimental operation was believed to work wonders with people who had emotional problems. In Rosemary's case it was a disaster and left her permanently disabled, paralyzed on one side, incontinent and unable to speak coherently. She was never allowed to return home, but instead was spirited away to St. Coletta's School in Wisconsin.
  
  Rosemary's fate and how it was handled was the ultimate Kennedy deception. As late as 1958 the family was maintaining the fiction that Rosemary had become a quasi nun in Wisconsin, content to renounce the glamorous world of her siblings to teach less fortunate children. Today the official family version is that she was born retarded, and that only her mother's herculean efforts had made it possible for her to appear normal.

And Mary Cheney is a lesbian.

The polls must be showing the comment really backfired on Kerry, as he felt compelled to respond today:

Kerry issued a statement Thursday after the Cheneys had expressed anger over his remarks: "I love my daughters. They love their daughter. I was trying to say something positive about the way strong families deal with this issue."

Fair enough. But if true, I fear what is going to happen in this country on November 4. I really, really, really hope that the Dems do not turn this country into a banana republic, but I fear that the only way that has a chance of not happening is if Bush wins by at least 50.

Hmm. Sibling of prominent figure not even a candidate, though Bush may've been confused on this point.

Club, can we have a ruling here?

Interesting. You seem to think that if the circumstances were different, the GOP-- as the calmer, more mature party -- would simply accept the initial results and not be screaming for a recount from the tops of the mountains.

Stay tuned, skippy.
