Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that terrorists are aiming to derail U.S. President George W. Bush’s chances at re-election through their attacks in Iraq.

“I consider the activities of terrorists in Iraq are not as much aimed at coalition forces but more personally against President Bush,” Putin said at a news conference after a regional summit in the Tajik capital, Dushanbe.
“International terrorism has as its goal to prevent the election of President Bush to a second term,” he said. “If they achieve that goal, then that will give international terrorism a new impulse and extra power." via Fox News


I am pretty sure that is what Cheney was talking about when he implied that terrorists would be emboldened by the defeat of Bush.

Fundrace.org, has created a detailed database that lists the name, address and occupation of every individual who has contributed money to political candidates or parties. And the amount, of course.
Best of all, it's searchable by broad address or name. Have fun typing in your zip code and watching the secret political leanings of your neighbours appear before your eyes.

Jim K. over at Right Thoughts has got Kerry all figured out now:

"SO after all this time, I think I have a pretty good handle on Kerry’s plans.
1. Kerry will heal the sick and disabled with his magic hands.

2. Kerry will print money and give it to the poor. Most of it will be on construction paper but hey, they’re poor, what do they know?
3. Kerry will clone soldiers to fill out his two proposed divisions.
4. Kerry will have Teh-ray-zuh make up millions of her special “gin raisins” to substitute for Canadian drugs.
5. Kerry will replace France and Germany with dark, sparkling Folger’s Crystals and win the peace in Iraq by tricking people into drinking instant coffee.
6. Kerry will raise taxes on “the rich” and the other 1.5 billion dollars he needs to pay for his programs will come from sales of a new line of yellow, chartruese and periwinkle ketchups aimed at the ultra-wealthy snobbish ketchup set."

Bill Maher (of all people) has him figured out as well:
"John Kerry is like a Frankenstein of other Democratic candidates that they have pieced together. He is a droning bore, like Al Gore. He is a Massachusetts liberal, like Dukakis. He is a policy wonk, like Jimmy... Jimmy Carter. Right. And he is a sap, sapling tree like Gore. They put all these together and made this one guy." Mostly, he's just a guy I find it impossible to imagine as an effective commander in chief, and that's what matters to me.

The Sacramento Bee says that 80% of California highschoolers are not ready for college level english. 45% are not ready for college level math. Good Lord! That boggles the mind. Keep in mind that these are the targets for the 'Rock The Vote.'

Which reminds me of an old joke. "There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those who are good at math and those who aren't."
