Officials in Missouri are reprinting absentee ballots for the Nov. 2nd election after almost 500 were sent out with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney left off.
How does that happen?

In Michigan Michael Moore offered free underwear and food to students in exchange for their vote. I suppose Moore has abundant of both, but do students really want underwear the size of a car? Plus, he never said it would be new. (ewwww.. I know...gross)

Iraqi Intelligence memos show Saddam was told as early as 2002 that France, having been granted oil contracts, would veto any American plans for war. via Frontpage mag.
Since France is up to it's surrendering monkeys ass in the food for oil scandal, we are not surprised that they would make such an offer. But now we know that Saddam really was insane to believe for a second France could veto anything America wanted to do.

So now we know that Saddam didn't have the WMD that intelligence said that he did. We also know that he intended to re activate the weapons program as soon as he could. Still a solid reason for taking him down and I am VERY glad we did. But is it fair to blame Bush ( and congress ) for trusting the intelligence community? What would you have done? Quoting from Andrew Sullivan back then, I think this is where most of us would be:
"So the question becomes: Who gets the benefit of the doubt? A dictator who has used such weapons and declared the United States as an enemy or a democratic country that has already experience a terrorist catastrophe?"

'nuff said.

Whats next? Frogs, flies, and Pestilence?

Even the lefties have to love this.

This last thought on Edwards at the debate from The American Spectator.
"he was telling bizarre stories about his undereducated father "learning math on television." Then he added patronizingly "I was proud of him." Edwards subtext: My father was a loser. I am a winner who rose from a family of losers through hard work. Vote for me."
The article goes on to say "There is no bottom to the superficiality and stupidity of American politics under the influence of Democratic demagoguery."

That got me to thinking about all the liberals I have known. Most of them did come from humble backgrounds and are better educated than their parents. They feel a sense of "knowing" more. To me the subtext wasn't that his father was a loser, but that Edwards by contrast knows so much more. Edwards feels he's the kind that can "help" people like his father now. People who bettered themselves and worked hard. Maybe his father didn't have a degree or make millions as a trial lawyer, but he did work his way up to own a mill himself. But the "annointed" like Edwards will always know better how to save our money, how to spend our money, and regulate our business.

I have a feeling I would like his dad.
