Looking for Competition

Filed under John Kerry

Rosemary is looking for a Bush version of Kerry’s House of Ketchup. For there to be one requires Kerry fans (and I use the term loosely) to have a sense of humor instead of anti-Bush shrillness. But if there is some linkfest out there I’m interested in it too.

“Grandstanding”

Filed under Terrorism

The NY Post has summed up the two days of hearings on the Sept. 11 attacks. Here’s the opening paragraph:
The 9/11 Commission completed two days near the scene of the crime yes terday, doing what it does best: grandstanding.

Kerry’s House of Ketchup #12

Filed under John Kerry

Kerry speaks.

Behold, another cache of links about my favorite condiment candidate. Not everything John Kerry says or does is bad. He is wise enough (politically and practially) to support President Bush’s request for $25 billion for Iraq. It’s part of his strategy to ride the Iraq hurricane into office.
Now, find some fries (I’ll wait) and […]

Accountability

Filed under War
Comments Off

Some people besides grunts are taking responsibility for the abuses (not atrocities, that was Saddam’s “fun”) at Abu Ghraib. However, Bush bashers won’t like it because Rumsfeld and the President aren’t falling on their swords. Instead, Gen. John Abizaid, commander of Persian Gulf forces, told Senators, “We have a real problem with ICRC [International Committee […]

More NYC Insanity

Filed under Terrorism

Rudy Giuliani testified before the Sept. 11 committee today, and victims’ families were again showing that they care more about embarassing personal public displays of displeasure than finding answers to better prepare for future terrorist attacks. The committee, not learning from yesterday’s fiasco, allowed an audience to view the proceedings.
Jeff Jarvis “ended up shouting at […]

Gone Off the Deep End

Filed under Terrorism

As if the Sept. 11 committee could stoop any lower they bashed NYC police and fire chiefs. It sounded like a lot of “coulda’ shoulda’ woulda’” Monday morning quarterbacking. All the while familes of Sept. 11 victims hooted and hollered.
Why should we take this inquiry seriously? Commissioners have plopped themselves in front of a […]

Who’d Have Thunk?

Filed under Sports
Comments Off

As of today, the Milwaukee Brewers are only three games out of first place in their division. It’s not just a case of being in a weak division because if the team were in either the east or west they’d still be in the thick of things. After coming into this season with a very […]

Wanted: Strongman

Filed under War

Good news for those who want to be Saddam’s replacement. Jordan’s King Abdullah II wants a strongman put into power. “I would say that the profile would be somebody from inside, somebody who’s very strong, has some sort of popular feeling,” said the king. I guess he’d feel more comfortable with another autocrat for a […]

Wise Words

Comments Off

The leader of the Fallujah Brigade, Retired Maj. Gen. Mohammed Abdul-Latif, had plenty to say about U.S. troops in his country:
We can make them (Americans) use their rifles against us or we can make them build our country, it’s your choice.
He went on to tell Fallujah leaders,
They were brought here by the acts of one […]

Stock Fallout

Filed under Economics
Comments Off

Krispy Kreme’s stock has been in the toilet along with the rest of the market. Yappers on stock message boards are calling for management’s heads. All because management believes the low carb craze will slow profit growth. Note that CEO Scott Livengood didn’t say the company would lose money. Profits just won’t meet company expectations. […]
