Funny Business
Byron at Slings and Arrow has found some good stuff
Kaus on Dennis Miller
Miller: "What do you think of Kerry's proposal for a Dept. of Wellness?"
Kaus: "We've got a war in Iraq, we have health care issues and Kerry wants to talk about about a Dept of Wellness? How about a Dept. of F---ing Perspective?"
Classic.

What do they really think of Shrumsy
Each day at the Democratic convention in Boston, a team of 10 speechwriters would convene in a windowless office behind the Fleet Center podium to help compose and polish that night's speeches. In the spirit of camaraderie, the speechwriters discussed making T-shirts for themselves.
One suggested a design featuring the slogan "Reverse the Curse" over a picture of Bob Shrum, the Democratic strategist whom many perceived to be presidential candidate John Kerry's closest adviser. "The Curse" referred to Shrum's career-long slump in presidential campaigns, a well-catalogued losing streak that runs from George McGovern to Al Gore.
