Where is this thriving economy exactly? I don’t know what Greenspan and friends can do to fix it, but the past six months of stock market activity doesn’t make things look good for Bush in November. That record-breaking oil price ain’t so good either.
Good thing we’re in the middle of such a strong economic recovery, hmmm?
From a recent Lou Dobbs commentary:
Bush and Kerry have mostly offered similar policy positions on the most divisive issues of our time.
Both have supported nearly identical plans for winning the war in Iraq. Bush and Kerry also agree on preserving tax breaks for the middle class, demanding greater accountability from our nation’s educators, immigration reform and limiting government spending in an effort to cut the deficit in half by the end of this decade.
What I find interesting is the disconnect between what they say and what they do. Kerry voted to help the President fast-track free trade agreements that Kerry now claims should be looked at more closely. So why did you shirk your responsibility to force that closer look, Senator?
The President, on the other hand, has the gall to claim that he wants to reduce government spending, when he’s increased government spending a record amount so far.
Fool me once…
Esquire has an article by the ever-eloquent Ron Reagan discussing his perceived failings in the Bush administration. The “lying for lying’s sake” argument is a good one. What was gained by pretending that Gore spent more in 2000 than Bush, when anyone with a bit of research can find out the opposite was true? There are other examples.
Finland requires their young men to complete a massive six month military commitment. Some of them can’t make it that long without their most prized activity. Sex? Drugs? Nope, the intarweb and Everquest. What’s astounding isn’t that people would try anything to get out of being a draftee, it’s that the military is going along with it!
bq. Finland’s military conscription unit revealed that some of the young men drafted can’t cope with being apart from their beloved PCs and have been booted off their full term of military service.
Old information led to the terror alerts in the financial districts of DC and NY yesterday. Or maybe not so old, but mostly old. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Democrats have raised questions over the timing of the alert, saying it could be politically motivated ahead of the election.
Politically motivated? I’m sure the Democratic allegation has no political motivation behind it either. Nope. They’re completely altruistic and just thinking of the best thing for the country. Of course.
Thanks to
bq. I’ve enjoyed how the commercials play them up as “oddities,” because really, that’s the best way to persuade people to eat shit.
Talk Soup, now called The Soup, is back! Oh, the snarky goodness… And it’s an hour before The Daily Show, so it’s a double dose of smartass!
I’m amused by this. I consider it the Frequent Fuckers Card, though. Buy six Viagra pills, get the seventh one free. Guys getting a stack of like 10 of these cards, just for bragging rights…
