Cheney Calls Kerry's Hunt a Cover-Up

(AP) SYLVANIA, Ohio -- Vice President Dick Cheney poked fun at Sen. John Kerry's goose hunting Thursday, arguing that the image of the gun-toting, camouflaged Democrat was an "October disguise" that masked his voting record against gun rights.

I am sick and tired, as I've stated before, by the obvious bullshit coming out of the Kerry campaign. Stop trying to fool the American people into believing that just because you bagged a goose that you're some staunch defender of our right to keep and bear arms, Senator Kerry.

The question that no one seems to be asking is, why in the hell would you spend your career voting one way (anti-defense, both in terms of national- and self-defense) and then try to make like you haven't?

If you're a Liberal, if you oppose citizens keeping an bearing arms, then embrace it. If you believe your position is the right one, stand up. Don't try to hide your position. Surely, being a Liberal who wants to infringe upon the citizenry's right to keep and bear arms isn't a bad thing, right? It's the right position that you believe it to be, right?

Right?

Thought so.

Not that I'm currently a big fan of things from Massatwoshits but...

Red Sox relish Bronx cheers

Yahoo! SportsThe Red Sox are in the World Series for the first time since 1986. And they got there with the most unbelievable comeback of all, shaming the Yankees 10-3 in Wednesday's Game 7 of the ALCS. For members of the Red Sox Nation, it was their greatest night, Yahoo! Sports' Dan Wetzel writes.

Good for them. And good for loyal fans of heartbreakingly losing teams.

Election Turn-Out Predictions

Experts See High Turnout in Presidential Vote

Yeah... but what about the turnout of folks who aren't lawyers?

This one's gonna be uglier than 2000 boys and girls.

What do Michael Moore, the DNC, John Kerry and Islamofascist Terrorists have in common?

They all want President Bush to lose the upcoming election.

But don't ask me. I'm biased. Ask someone else. Like, oh, say a leader of another country. One that opposed the liberation of Iraq.

(AP) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that terrorists are aiming to derail U.S. President George W. Bush's chances at re-election through their attacks in Iraq.

You read it right, President Putin, someone who opposed going into Iraq, believes the terrorists don't want President Bush to be re-elected.

"International terrorism has as its goal to prevent the election of President Bush to a second term," he said. "If they achieve that goal, then that will give international terrorism a new impulse and extra power."

Tell me again, why should I vote for Senator Kerry?

Hooray! The Cardinals didn't lose today...

... they had a bye week.

Told ya Al Gore sets a bad example...

Karzai Rival Refuses to Concede Election

(AP) -- KABUL, Afghanistan - Hamid Karzai's closest rival in Afghanistan's landmark election insisted Sunday he has a chance for victory, saying Karzai's commanding lead was based on early results and the election could turn on an investigation of fraud allegations.

Looks like Afghanistan is well on its way to an America style setup... at least they've got the 'messed up election' and 'refusing to admit you lost' things down anyway.

Airborne!

Paratrooper Who Lost Leg in War Re-Enlists

(AP) -- FORT BRAGG, N.C. - George Perez lost his leg to a roadside bomb in Iraq more than a year ago, but despite the phantom pains that haunt him, he says he is determined to prove to the Army that he is no less of a man — and no less of a soldier.

"I'm not ready to get out yet," he says. "I'm not going to let this little injury stop me from what I want to do."

Good on him. And he's not the only one with a strong desire to stay in, to return to Afghanistan or Iraq, to return to his buddies, to get the job done.

Three things came to mind when I read this. First of all, the pride and respect I felt for Perez. No way not to.

Then I felt this was a prime example why there isn't a need for a draft in the US. There are brave men and woman with a strong sense of duty that willingly enlist. And there are people like George Perez who, even after losing a limb, want to stay in.

And then the inescapable difference between a trooper like George Perez, who was seriously wounded in combat, in a controversial war, and someone who was thrice wounded (none of which could be considered serious by any stretch of the imagination) in a controversial war.

Not only does Perez want to return to duty (and go to Ranger school, no less) he did not abandon his buddies, his men, and then stab them in the back by meeting with the enemy in unauthorized meetings or defame them in testimony before Congress and join the anti-war movement.

John Kerry can not make a similar claim.
