Kerry goes goose hunting
to try and get conservative votes
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20041021/ap_on_el_pr/kerry_guns
Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but it's it illegal to be carrying another hunter's goose? Also, how the hell did he get around the fact you have to pass hunter ed in Ohio to get a license? Don't say because he's a VET, that exemption is only for active duty.
Election ALREADY contested
While the lawyers litigate, political operatives will try to shape public perception. Their goal would be to persuade voters that Kerry has the best claim to the presidency and that Republicans are trying to steal it.

This is in the country's best interest how? The Kerry campaign is sick for the power. So typical, anything at any price.

Carter, poster boy for euthanasia
From his interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: Let me ask you the question about—this is going to cause some trouble with people—but as an historian now and studying the Revolutionary War as it was fought out in the South in those last years of the War, insurgency against a powerful British force, do you see any parallels between the fighting that we did on our side and the fighting that is going on in Iraq today?
CARTER: Well, one parallel is that the Revolutionary War, more than any other war up until recently, has been the most bloody war we’ve fought. I think another parallel is that in some ways the Revolutionary War could have been avoided. It was an unnecessary war. (emphasis mine)
Had the British Parliament been a little more sensitive to the colonial’s really legitimate complaints and requests the war could have been avoided completely, and of course now we would have been a free country now as is Canada and India and Australia, having gotten our independence in a nonviolent way.
What the holly fuck is he smoking, where's he importing it from, and is he hiding it in his house? Listen here Jimmah, if you were such the historian you claim to be, you'd know that those countries exist as "free" because of the United States, not in spite of it.
Just so we're all clear on history Mr. Carter. The Olive Branch Petition was tried and failed. Your silly little 3rd grade logic would have us believe that had Hitler been a tad nicer we would have avoided the whole D-Day thing, that Osama would have been more understanding, we could have dismissed the whole 9/11 thing, and if Saddam would have listened a little more he wouldn't have had to spend so much time sleeping in a hole.
To think, this country made him a president once...and we called Perot crazy.
Trial Lawyers and the Flu
Why do we have a vaccine shortage? Give a read here.
Thanks Kerry...
For letting the world know there's a 50/50 chance that the United States can be neutered. I'm *sure* that in your rush to power you just mistakenly forgot there's consequences to what you say. Asshole.
Militia wants observers at US elections
TEHRAN: Iran’s hardline Basij militia has written to UN secretary general Kofi Annan to ask if the Islamic republic can send observers to the US presidential election in November, a government newspaper said on Monday.
“By this symbolic request, we want to ridicule the so-called democratic slogans of the American leaders,” a Basij official, Said Toutunshian, told the Iran newspaper.
“We want to say to the whole world that the presence of observers from the Islamic republic of Iran, the most democratic regime in the world, is necessary to guarantee the smooth running of the American elections.”
Our elections and our government are not the playground of the rest of the world and all the illegal aliens you want to have voting rights. The fact that you say you'd go to the UN for *anything* and work with the consensus of the world had impaired our national sovereignty.
You lying, treasonous worm.

FCC gets out of it's sandbox again
Regarding Sinclair Media's intention to broadcast programming not in Senator Kerry's interest (more here), the FCC has chimed in...
FCC COMMISSIONER STATEMENT ON SINCLAIR AIRING OF ANTI-KERRY SHOW
Tue Oct 12 2004 13:39:02 ET
FCC COMMISSIONER COPPS CRITICIZES SINCLAIR CORPORATE DECISION TO PREEMPT LOCAL STATIONS FOR POLITICAL BROADCAST
Commissioner Michael J. Copps reacted to reports that Sinclair Broadcast Group will preempt more than 60 local stations across the country to air an overtly political program in the days prior to the Presidential election.
Copps stated: “This is an abuse of the public trust. And it is proof positive of media consolidation run amok when one owner can use the public airwaves to blanket the country with its political ideology -- whether liberal or conservative. Some will undoubtedly question if this is appropriate stewardship of the public airwaves. This is the same corporation that refused to air Nightline’s reading of our war dead in Iraq. It is the same corporation that short-shrifts local communities and local jobs by distance-casting news and weather from hundreds of miles away. It is a sad fact that the explicit public interest protections we once had to ensure balance continue to be weakened by the Federal Communications Commission while it allows media conglomerates to get even bigger. Sinclair, and the FCC, are taking us down a dangerous road.”
Personally, I'm disgusted with the FCC. They and Senator McCain made a similar attempt in April of 2004. No governmental organization has the right to play here; it's a 1st Ammendment protection.
Here's my email to Michael Copps, commisioner of the FCC:
I'm disgusted to hear that the FCC has chosen to stick it's nose in the business of private companies yet again. Sinclair has every right to air whatsoever they choose. If their affiliates are "forced" to air any programming by their parent company, that no doubt exists because of the contractual agreement with the affiliate.
The FCC does not have the authority to determine validity of any speach, political or otherwise. Even offering an opinion on this issues raises severe 1st Ammendment questions, especially for an agency mandated to manage a freqency spectrum; not the information contained therein.
You seem to forget that there are at least two buttons on every TV set in the nation...one changes the channel, the other turns it off.
Mr. Copps, I call for immediate resignation.
Sincerely,
Steven R. Andrews

You want to see what all the fuss is about? What the government and the DNC doesn't want you to see?

They offer an online stream of the 42min broadcast for only $4.99 or you can buy the video for $19.99.
Chairman Michael Powell of the FCC (a commissioner in 1998) agrees with me. Read his speech from April 1998 here. Keep in mind, this was back before Republicans had "stolen" any election.
UPDATE: 10/14/2004
WASHINGTON - The Federal Communications Commission won’t intervene to stop a broadcast company’s plans to air a critical documentary about John Kerry’s anti-Vietnam War activities on dozens of TV stations, the agency’s chairman said Thursday.
“Don’t look to us to block the airing of a program,” Michael Powell told reporters. “I don’t know of any precedent in which the commission could do that.”
Eighteen senators, all Democrats, wrote to Powell this week and asked him to investigate Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc.’s plan to run the program, “Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal,” two weeks before the Nov. 2 election.
Powell said there are no federal rules that would allow the agency to prevent the program. “I think that would be an absolute disservice to the First Amendment, and I think it would be unconstitutional if we attempted to do so,” he said.

Will you vote?
This is a picture of how Afgans respect their new right to vote.
If you do vote, what will you be voting FOR? This is important; don't take it casually.

X-Prize Claimed
The $10 Million prize for the first privately-funded spacecraft that can carry 3 persons into space twice within a 2-week window has been claimed!
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/xprize2_success_041004.html
Now, who wants to put money on how long it takes Kerry to claim space travel is a right and the *rich* should pay for it? No, really...I'm serious.

Here's the global test Kerry talked about in his debate.

Mitochondria can be inherited from both parents

Mitochondria may not be inherited solely through the maternal line, according to new research that promises to overturn accepted biological wisdom.
If confirmed by other researchers, the findings could have huge implications for evolutionary biology and biochemistry.
