Missing the bigger picture

FactCheck.org analyzes the swift boat vets latest ad and comes up with this headline: Swift Boat Veterans Anti-Kerry Ad: "He Betrayed Us" With 1971 Anti-War Testimony Group quotes Kerry's descriptions of atrocities by US forces. In fact, atrocities did happen. This analysis/Kerry-apology is lame. Yes, of course there were atrocities by U.S. forces during the […]

John Kerry's Silver Star

After reading William Rood's account of the Feb. 28, 1969, on the Dong Cung River in Vietnam, I'm satisfied that John Kerry's Silver Star citation is deserved. We agreed that if we were not crippled by the initial volley and had a clear fix on the location of the ambush, we would turn directly into […]

He had to do it

Sen. John Kerry is, rightfully, getting a lot of flak for the complaint his campaign filed with the FEC over the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth TV ads. Kerry's campaign alleges that the Bush campaign is illegally colluding with the Swift Boat veterans, basing its claim on the laughable New York Times piece that appeared […]

Terror *hiccup* threat?

Word is out that the senior senator *hiccup* from Massachusetts, Ted "I'll drive off that bridge when I come to it" Kennedy was "erroneously" placed on the infamous no-fly list. Everyone insists that it was just another notorious bureaucratic screw-up, but it's a *hiccup* funny one.

Media coverage and John Kerry

I'm not a national political reporter, so I don't have the time or the access to really advance the Sen. John Kerry vs. the Swift Boat Vets story in any meaningful way. What I can do, however, is take a look at how the media is doing its job (or not doing its job in […]

John Kerry and Vietnam

I haven't made much mention of the developments of the last week-plus when it comes to Sen. John Kerry's service half a world away more than three decades ago. I blame John Kerry for making his Vietnam service the centerpiece of his campaign for president, rather than his nearly two decades in the Senate and […]

Stifling dissent

The left-wing Democrat surrogate MoveOn.org has come out with an advertisement attacking President Bush for his service in the National Guard. This is no surprise. What is a surprise is MoveOn.org's demand that Bush should somehow censor Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. "George Bush used his father to get into the National Guard, and -- […]

Something to look into

It appears that a surprisingly large number of Kerry donors haven't been disclosing all that is required by federal election law. There may be nothing to it, but it is worth looking into.

Send in the Waaaaaaahmbulance

So, Vice President Dick Cheney slams Sen. John Kerry for saying that he would fight a "more sensitive" war on terror. Says Cheney: "America has been in too many wars for any of our wishes, but not a one of them was won by being sensitive ... A sensitive war will not destroy the evil […]

Joke of the day

Got this one from my anonymous Air Force friend. A new bar opened and everyone in town was talking about it. The buzz was because it had a robot-bartender. One fellow had to see this for himself, so in he goes and sits at the bar. Sure enough, a robot was bar tending. The man […]
