Boycott Survivor

CBS only has a few top 10 shows, Survivor and 60 Minutes. I think a network boycott would be impossible to accomplish, but the premier of Survivor is on Thursday night, and if the bloggers in pajamas blogged, instead of watching, we might be able to affect their ratings.

Do you agree? Spread the word.

USA Today has Memos

USA Today says they have copies of the memos that they acquired independently. That means they know the source!

USA TODAY obtained copies of the documents independently soon after the 60 Minutes segment aired Wednesday, from a person with knowledge of Texas Air National Guard operations. The person refused to be identified out of fear of retaliation. It is unclear where the documents, if they are real, had been kept in the intervening three decades.

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.

And from the Washington Post...

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.

Forged or Authentic

The so-called document expert, Marcel Matley, cited by Dan Rat, is a member of the National Association of Document Examiners. Most news reports state that it is near impossible to authenticate a signature on a non-original document. You can contact the association at 866-569-0833 or email their president, Katherine Koppenhaver, with any questions.

My question for her: Is it standard practice for your members to declare that signatures are true and authentic without examining the original ducument? If a member violated the standard practices of your organization, would you kick him out? If not, it seems the credibility of your organization would suffer.

Never Forget

Last week I spent some time with Darryl Worley. He is as enthusiastic about President George W. Bush as any young republican intern. He's doing his part.

"Have You Forgotten?"

2,998 Reasons NOT To Forget!

I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start to preachin'
Let me ask you this my friend

CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And we vowed to get the ones behind Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for

CHORUS 2
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yes, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?

Annika want you to email CBS and ask Dan Rather to resign. I agree!

Here's a copy of my email:

CBS has provided inadequate proof that the documents it broadcast are legitimate. Dan Rather should provide evidence that can be examined by interested parties or resign immediately. -- The Irish Lass

Ilyka (I like-a da men) is scared

But the aspect of this that isn't a parts story is what's frightening. That a major news organization is willing to neglect its own credibility to further an agenda is frightening. That a major news organization assigns more value and emphasis to voter intent--ack, I'm sorry; I mean Lieutenant Colonel Killian's intent--than the actual votes--geez, there I go again! I mean Lieutenant Colonel Killian's actual statements--that disturbs me very much.

Ith ran the most important poll, what do the real people think?

Sweet surprize gives driving lessons.

If you're driving a huge SUV, and every time you come to a light you stop so hard that your vehicle lurches forward, and you almost put everybody through the windshield, and your dog starts barking like mad and running around inside your vehicle, and the car behind you has to slam hard on the brakes just to stop in time, maybe you should reevaluate your braking/driving/thinking/living strategy.

Just a suggestion.

It's time for the Daily Spork Report on Democratic Slime. Let's see how disgusting the lefties were today:

Could the Democrats have gone this low? It would be a new era of slime for them if this story is indeed true. Fake documents bashing Bush...tsk tsk tsk. Of course, all of the Leftist freakzoids are still salivating over the Memos, not bothering to look at the fact that there is a growing probability that the Bush-bash documents are false...Hell, even the apparent memo writer's widow doesn't think they are real.

Chicks for Bush - Part 2

I'm getting great response ... we might be up to 20 members before the weekend.

If you're a chick ...
1. And you'll sleep better at night if GWB is reelected
2. You like guys who have a bit of swagger in their walk
3. You don't believe that endless pontification is a sign of superior intellect
4. You expect and want a man to make a commitment and stick to it
5. You think real men like real sports (like baseball not windsurfing)

You should be a Chick for Bush.

Give me a comment and I'll put you on the roll
