With absentee ballots arriving in mailboxes and many people taking advantage of early voting opportunities across the country, I wanted to get the long-awaited Hoystory.com endorsement out on the Internet. I want to emphasize that the following endorsement is not approved by, nor is it representative of the views of, my employer, The San Diego […]
CNET News' Declan McCullagh notes that Sen. John Kerry has indicated he might "defang" the Digital Millennium Copyright Act -- the law that prevents you from making backup copies of your DVDs, among other things. It's an interesting idea, but I wouldn't bet a plug nickel on it. Both Republicans and Democrats in Congress have […]
I know it sounds like some pornographic movie, but I'm convinced that's what the junior senator from Massachusetts is counting on to deliver on all of these promises he and the Breck girl have made in the campaign. In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, President Bush echoed the 9/11 Commission's finding that we […]
I'm watching "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism." Why? Because I've decided I need a little self-abuse. I rented it from Netflix -- it was easy to get -- unlike FarenHYPE 9/11 which has a "Long Wait." Don't waste your time on this. Seriously. I can't believe I wasted my time on it. The vast […]
Beldar has a couple of related posts on what exactly would happen if Sen. John Kerry becomes president. The first post compares a hypothetical Kerry presidency to what LBJ faced when he considered a run for a second term. My question to you, my thoughtful, principled friend of the center-left, is this: How is John […]
Eric Holder is the Kerry campaign's point man on preventing (Democrat) voter intimidation. At least in Florida, it appears that he's been successful -- Democrats aren't feeling intimidated, Republicans are. Republican Party senior adviser Mindy Tucker Fletcher said she had more than a dozen affidavits from voters around the state that would be forwarded to […]
MSNBC's Chris Matthews got into a verbal knock-down drag-out with Michelle Malkin a couple of months ago -- something that later influenced Georgia Sen. Zell Miller to challenge Matthews to a duel. Malkin's experience was the Lincoln-Douglas debates compared to last night's "Scarborough Country." Pat Buchanan was sitting in for Joe Scarborough and Swift Boat […]
Newsweek magazine, which employs Evan "15 points" Thomas, has plans for one of those insta-books on the 2004 election. That's not unexpected. What is telling and troubling however, is the synopsis that they chose to publish. An extraordinary behind-the-scenes look at the 2004 Kerry presidential victory reported by Newsweek's premier political reporters, including bestselling biographer […]
I'm quickly getting sick of watching former Clinton administration Justice Department official Eric Holder on practically every cable channel threatening lawsuits if anyone so much as glances at a Democrat voter askance. What annoys me is Holder's repeated vow to make sure that "every vote is counted." In fact, Holder has guaranteed that John Kerry […]
Some idiot over at Sen. John Kerry's campaign decided to send out a statement attacking Vice President Dick Cheney for getting a flu vaccine. Thankfully, the press noted that Cheney should be among those getting the shot. Cheney would fit into the government's definition of those most vulnerable to a looming influenza epidemic as he […]
