It’s one thing to believe Kerry is the right choice for President, but it’s a whole ‘nother ballgame to see him as the lesser of two evils and vote for him anyway. Back in 2000, I recognized Bush for the hand puppet that he was/is and was adamantly against the idea that Gore was the
It’s distractions like this that led to a knucklehead like John Kerry getting the Democratic nod to face-off against Bush in what should by all rights be a turkey shoot of an election. Assuming turkey shoot means the same thing as shooting fish in a barrel, of course. I couldn’t care less if Bush was
Pumpkin Seeds: Same Old Song Edition
1. If circumstance dictates action, then overindulging on video games and fantasy sports is the married man’s equivalent of late nights and loose women. 2. I’m George Bailey-tired but there’s no Mr. Potter to tempt me, no Uncle Billy to screw me, and no Bedford Falls to reassure me. 3. There’s millions of stories about
Pumpkin Seeds: Nouns I Don’t Get Edition
1. Gwyneth Paltrow. Dime a dozen white girl with zero personality and limited acting ability. 2. Neil Gaiman. Just another imaginative writer lacking in fundamental skills. Much ado about nothing. 3. Beyoncé. Destiny’s Child had one good song – Independent Women – before she went solo, and her own album is a testament to the
The Forgotten is nothing like The Sixth Sense and to suggest otherwise is reductionism at it’s worst. If anything, the most appropriate [reductionist] synopysis, and quite possibly the studio pitch, would be to say that it’s like Ransom crossed with the X-Files, with a strong female lead. Of course, that probably wouldn’t sell very many
Happy 2nd Birthday, India! 🙂
Maureen O’Keefe Aptowicz: Mother
Some of the best political commentary online, from an admitted conservative no less, is coming from one Maureen O’Keefe Aptowicz’s zeitgeist column at aptowicz.com. Funny, honest and intelligent, she skewers Kerry with the best of them but generally offers equal-time in her critiques, able to admit that her guy isn’t exactly the brightest bulb in
Bush vs. Kerry: 45 minutes into the debate…Bush is winning. Kerry’s trying to appeal to logic while Bush is focused on emotion. If this were boxing, Kerry is the technically-proficient pugilist with a steady jab, who writes essays on the sweet science for the New Yorker. Bush is the street brawler who can barely spell
Pumpkin Seeds: End of the World Edition
1. What the hell is going on? Multiple hurricanes and random tornadoes, an earthquake in California and now the threat of Mt. St. Helens erupting again? Plus, there’s the whole mega-tidal wave in the works, just waiting for another volcano to go off in Africa! If I were a Republican, the obvious explanation would be
Democratic Scare Tactics
I’m always discouraged to see friends suckered into things because of their good intentions so when one of them forwarded me the latest email “virus” going around, I was both annoyed and disappointed. The email in question is from Kerry-Edwards 2004, Inc. in the form of their latest plea for money: “To keep the Democratic
