Allah has a Kerry daisy sighting. Forget the medals/ribbons business, I want to know the dirt on that nick-knack.

Sharpton Comes Alive

Filed under John Kerry
Comments Off

One way to counter the charge that only white people are running Kerry’s campaign would be to hire some minorities. Kerry’s way will make for a more interesting Democratic convention:
In what may be a surprising move to some political circles, Democratic Presidential Candidate Senator John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) has issued an invitation to former Democratic Primary […]

al-Qaeda Snuffed in Jordan

Filed under Terrorism

If this wasn’t real life, I say al-Qaeda ripped off the A-Team.
For months, the gang had been working on the plan. Hiding out in safe houses in the Jordanian capital, Amman, they bought cars and vans to carry the bombs, took over blacksmiths’ shops to build the battering rams and set to work manufacturing the […]

Kerry’s House of Ketchup #9

Filed under John Kerry

Kerry speaks.

This is a time for giving. My favorite tax-and-spend liberal Senator is certainly giving out vibes that he’s losing it. His Good Morning America appearance and post-interview whine show a candidate without confidence. Still, events can and will occur that will lift up his spirits and poll numbers.

What sound does a weblog bubble make when it pops? Because the word “blogging” made it into an episode of Law & Order: SVU.
If that isn’t enough for you, intelligence agencies may already or in the future monitor some weblogs. [via Balloon Juice]
