What did John Kerry mean when he said, “And we got weapons of mass destruction crossing the border every single day, and they’re blowing people up.” Are the WMD mention a metaphor for terrorists? Or are nukes and nerve gas bombs going off in Iraq and the MSM isn’t telling us? If Kerry actually means […]
I’ll try to be as objective as I can even though I’m a big Bush backer who has already called the race for him.
The only winner tonight was the American voter who got to hear the differences between Bush and Kerry. Since this debate was on foreign affairs one would have expected the President to […]
I tried to insert the Bush-Cheney live debate spin feed, but it was messing up the weblog. Sorry. You’ll just have to stick with the campaign websites.

On the Iowa Electronic Markets President Bush is leading Sen. Kerry, but the lead has narrowed over the last few days. Traders must think Bush was overvalued at the $0.74 level. Tune into TAM tomorrow to see if the debate effected this prediction market.

I received an e-mail from a reader asking me what can be done now to prevent the theft of the Wisconsin election. There’s zero chance the laws can be changed to require photo ID before getting a ballot. However, I have some ideas.
First, concerned citizens have to be aware of what’s happening at their polling […]
Stolen Honor, the documentary “how John Kerry’s actions during the Vietnam era impacted the treatment of American soldiers and POWs” is available for sale and also pay-per-view on the internet. You would have thought Michael Moore would have thought of this.

The Boston Globe almost got caught up in a forgery about the forged Killian memos. A few jobs may have been saved by this Wizbang post.
That’s all well and good, but why are the same webloggers who went gung-ho after CBS News letting USA Today off the hook for their role publicizing the memos? For […]
Television news isn’t about information dispersal. It’s about entertainment. Years ago, an economics professor (can’t remember his name) at an IHS conference bestowed this insight on me, and I have never watched television the same since.
The CBS News draft story is a mini-movie. There’s the protagonist, Beverly Cocco who’s “absolutely scared” and “petrified” about […]
Kerry Edwards aides want signal lights removed from the lecterns before tonight’s debate. Captain Ed calls it a “temper tantrum.” (Gee, was there a Teresa sighting?) I wonder how many viewers would have even noticed them. Now, the press will point out focus of the pre-debate scuffle. More will pay attention to the lights. If […]
Bill Hobbs is collecting voter fraud information. The first pattern I’m noticing is there’s plenty of activity in the battleground states of Ohio and Wisconsin. Bush definitely need Ohio, while Kerry has to have Wisconsin.

Behold, the further “wussification” of our money. The Treasury Department should just go all out and put Hello Kitty on the bills. It’s one thing to make currency tougher to counterfeit, but it’s another to do it in such an aesthetically unpleasing way. Before messing with the $10 bill bring over the crew doing the […]
In today’s Journal Sentinel is a front page story on how important the youth vote is in the election. The story is rather hum-drum. Much more interesting is a caption to this picture:
New Voters Project volunteers gather to be deputized as city registrars. Wisconsin is one of six states targeted by the non-partisan group, which […]

Olympic gold medalist Paul Hamm endured 11 1/2 hours of a hearing before the Court of Arbitration for Sport over whether he will keep his medal. The Americans felt they said what they needed to say. A decision is expected within two weeks.
