"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Lights! Cameras! Hey I said no lights dammit!

Kerry campaign demands that timing lights be removed from debate lecterns

(AP) -- Advisers for the Democratic presidential candidate demanded Thursday that the lights signaling when a speaker's time has expired during debates with President Bush be removed from the lecterns because they are distracting. The commission hosting the debates refused.

Oh good grief. Here's a thought Senator Kerry... drop the nuanced circular ramblings that say nothing and end up contradicting themselves. Keep it short and to the point and you won't have to worry about the timing lights.

Speaking of circular ramblings that end up contradicting themselves, anyone know where I can find the transcript of Senator Kerry's interview with Diane Sawyer. The one with the soundbite of him accusing President Bush of using terrorism as a scare tactic and then launching into a list of terrorist attacks that we should be a'scared of?

And with today's Most Disturbing Quote of the Day™ here's Kerry strategist Tad Devine:

"We'll do what we have to. We'll beat them over the head a little bit, then we'll see what happens."

Pretty much sums up the Democrat's overall election strategy in two short sentences.

Telling slip Tad. Very telling.

By the way Tad, the Gay Porn Actors Guild just called. They want their stagename back.
