Are we really safer now?The illusive "Government" has shed some light on possible plots to attack our transit systems, a la Madrid, this summer. If we had a government with any kind of foresight, we wouldn't be in this mess. Iraq is a mistake. The fact that we're stuck there now leaves us unsafe here at home. While the reports used as sources for this threat are uncorroberated, the administration should pat itself on the back for its ability to make the public scared shitless.

Speaking of our wonderful administration, why do they need to testify together? Cheney's hand not long enough to fit up W's ass from outside? Seriously though, this is a shame. Shouldn't the leader of the free world be confident enough to speak by himself? God forbid under oath and in public. Don't blame me, I voted for the guy that won.

Colin, where have you been? We've known this for a while. For a guy that I respected, your conduct has been disgraceful, and your doctrine of war has been a complete failure. Good riddance in November.

New poll numbers make me all warm and fuzzy. So what if I'm addicted to them. The latest batch, courtesy CBS, is good news for us. One thing that I still don't understand is that there is a 36 percent group of people that believe that Saddam is linked to 9-11, and an even bigger number that consider Iraq to be part of the war on terror. Let's level here folks, these people have their heads up their asses. Tricky Dick Cheney himself has said the first isn't true. As for the latter, I think we'll see more and more evidence against that as time goes by. Us on the liberal side have been in the know for quite a while. Anyways, the polls show almost a uniform decline in all Bush numbers, and a marked decline in security numbers for the Pres. Senator Kerry, jump on these weaknesses and show em how you could do it better.


Bush outspends us 2-1.
I actually think that's probably around the ratio we need, because not only do we have the edge on issues, but Bush's pockets suddenly aren't so deep. Add 527s into the mix, and we can either match or exceed this juggernaut.

A pat on the back to Barack Obama, future Ill. Senator, for raising the bar. We could all take a lesson from him.

Finally for today, Nancy Pelosi is urging John Kerry to pick a VP. Other than my impatience, I think this would be a good idea because it's free press, it's more boots and supporters on the ground, it's more funds raised, it's another guy to be our attack dog. Get at it, and not Gep!
