After Staging Photo-Op 'Hunt,' Kerry Refuses to Carry His Own Bird
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said he bagged a goose on his Poland, Ohio swing state hunting trip Thursday, but his real target was the voters who may harbor doubts about him.
Kerry returned after a two hour hunting trip wearing a camouflage jacket and carrying a 12 gauge shotgun, but someone else carried the bird that he had shot.
'Im too lazy', Kerry joked. 'I'm still giddy over the Red Sox. It was hard to focus.'

Who's the goose here?
Why does Kerry even bother...his goose is cooked already.
Afternoon Satire:
The records of Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry's 1988 divorce from Wall Street heiress Julia Thorne were unsealed yesterday, revealing that Kerry has always been a condescending and uninteresting prick. It is uncertain whether revelations of sexual "JFK" role-playing and narcissistic orgasms will hurt his presidential campaign. Unlike Jack Ryan, whose Senate campaign was derailed when his divorce records revealed that he pressured ex-wife Jeri Ryan to attend sex clubs, Kerry's divorce records reveal a rather pedestrian, if not somewhat ego- and Kennedy-centric sex life.
Thorne swore under oath that Kerry, "often made me dress up like Jackie O ['Nassis] or Marilyn Monroe, and would make me call him 'JFK.' His idea of foreplay was either to ask whether, 'Mrs. President wanted to solve the 'Kerry Missile Crisis,' or to say, 'who wants to have sex with John Kerry? Bring-it-on.'" She also claimed he regularly yelled out his own name during orgasm.
The records reveal that the couple rarely fought, if only because Kerry would vaguely claim both sides of an argument. "Often I'd say something like, 'John, you need to watch the children more; I need time to myself,'" Thorne claims in an affidavit, "and he'd say, 'Yes, I agree that husbands should contribute to the household, but only if they aren't working overtime to afford healthcare.' He thought he was so clever. And if trying to 'confuse' me with his 'intellect' didn't work, he'd say something like, 'you know, Julia, when I was in Vietnam I had to watch over the children of a nation.' He used the Vietnam thing a lot; it usually made no sense."
In fact, Thorne's main reason for filing for divorce was simply that, "John spent an inordinate amount of time looking in the mirror, talking to himself. When he did address me, it was usually in the form of a rhetorical question, like ' how good does my hair look today?' or a quasi-joke, like 'on a scale of nine to ten, how attractive am I?' It was almost as though I existed solely to confirm his egocentricity."
Thank you.
I know some mountain camping areas with electricity and water that would surely support that hot tub.
Love Pres. Bush. I imagine he and his dad will have some interesting conversations 5 years hence.
Billionaires Secretly Met in Aspen to Defeat Bush
In the days following the Democratic National Convention in Boston this past August, several billionaire Democratic activists secretly met at the famed Aspen Institute in Colorado.
The purpose of their clandestine meeting was "to use their fortunes to engineer the defeat of President George W. Bush," The New Yorker magazine reports in its most recent edition. [More below...]
Details of the meeting remain sketchy, but the magazine described the Aspen conference this way: "Five billionaires joined half a dozen liberal leaders in a lengthy conversation about the future of progressive politics in America."
For sure, there were differences of opinion in the group, but they all shared one goal: to get George Bush this November.
The Aspen meeting was supposed to have been a top secret within Democratic Party circles.
When The New Yorker inquired about the meeting, an assistant to one of the attendees was surprised by the call.
"No one was supposed to know about this," the aide told the magazine. "We don't want people thinking it's a cabal or some sort of Masonic plot!"
Apparently the leader of the secret cabal is billionaire Peter B. Lewis, chairman of the Cleveland, Ohio-based insurance company Progressive Corporation.
Like another attendee, wealthy financier George Soros, Lewis has poured millions into Democratic 527 groups, including Americans Coming Together and MoveOn.org.
One of Lewis' top agenda items has been the decriminalization of marijuana, a policy position also shared by Soros.
Another billionaire who attended was John Sperling, founder of the online University of Phoenix.
Also present were Herb and Marion Sandler from California. The couple founded Golden West Financial Corporation, a California bank reportedly worth $17 billion.
The key agenda items for the Sandlers has been "preserving progressive income taxes and inheritance taxes," the magazine reported.
The wealthiest and most notable of those attending the meeting was George Soros, the 74-year-old Hungarian immigrant who desperately wants to defeat George Bush and has even compared him to the likes of Adolf Hitler.
Apparently, all was not roses at the billionaire confab, according to The New Yorker.
"The billionaires spent much of the time moaning the superior powers of the GOP," the magazine said, and the group even needed some cheerleading from Harold Ickes, a former top aide to Bill Clinton who is involved in the 527 efforts.
There was disagreement about some of the issues and policy positions the group should take.
Sperling, for one, argued that the main target of their efforts should be Wal-Mart. He wants to push for unionizing the giant retailer.
That idea was apparently vetoed by George Soros, who reportedly told the group he had no desire to support union initiatives and that his only single goal at this point was "ousting Bush."
Though not the leader of the group, Soros holds the largest bank account and as such is the 800-pound gorilla, having given more than $18 million to the 527s in an effort to defeat Bush.
The magazine said Soros had planned to keep a low profile in the closing months of the election, but suddenly changed course this summer when he decided to "jettison the strategy in favor of waging his own media-grabbing political campaign."
Soros hired a publicist and began a 12-city, $3 million personal crusade to defeat George Bush.
According to the magazine, Soros has nothing but contempt for Bush, who he considers "an ignorant fool."
More than that, he sees Bush as the face man for a secret cabal. "Bush was just chosen as a figurehead, an acceptable face for a sinister group," Soros told The New Yorker, adding, "Cheney is the Capo."
Clearly, Soros knows a thing or two about secret cabals and capos.
loddy, I'm thinking it mighty strange that we've not seen the first photo of Kerry taking aim at that goose.... much less showing it off.... He has rarely been out in public without a photographer since before he spent those 4 months in VN and never in this campaign.... Think abouit it. Cameras captured his every moment skiing, snowboarding, surfing, windsurfing, biking, boating, playing hockey, skeet shooting, trying to toss around a football and a baseball ... but not hots of him actually making that shot today.
Resty, what is your source for this article of the secret meeting?
Breaking News from NewsMax.com
First, I was pinged to a thread about today's big goose hunt and directed to a very funny post that now has now been posted as a seperate thread.
It doesn't sound as if the "Pool" reporters who had to get up early to cover the photo-op hunt that wasn't were all that impressed or totally convinced about the Great Canadian Goose Caper.
*Sigh*
Memories of a once great and used to be played sport.
What am I going to watch after football is over?
Roller derby can't come back too fast!
3 PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENT CITY OF CINCINNATI A majority affirmative vote is necessary for passage. To repeal Article XII of the Charter of the City of Cincinnati. Be it resolved by the people of Cincinnati that Article XII of the Charter of the City be repealed. This amendment to the City Charter shall in all respects be self-executing. Article XII shall be null and void and of no force and effect. SHALL ARTICLE XII BE REPEALED? YES NO
would you vote yes or no???
Transmissions can (and do) take it with them.....
:-)
Background
In 1992, Cincinnati City Council passed an ordinance that prohibited discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, mental status, ethnic origin, and sexual orientation. One year following the passage of this ordinance, Cincinnati voters approved Issue 3, now known as Article XII, which forbids the City and any of its Boards or Commissions from providing protected status to persons because of homosexual, lesbian or bisexual orientation. The ballot measure was approved by 62% of city voters.
FOFLOL.... That made me dizzy :) I read it twice just to be sure it was as insane as it seems. FOFLOL
Kerry mentioned them four different times today. I love the Sox, but I can't take this for another two weeks!
Hey....get over this jinx thing, it's gone! They won, they beat the dwatted Yanks. Curse gone. In Yankee Stadium no less, after being down 3-0.
As to the Pats.....just enjoy, they've won twice in the last three years, and Brady is the new Joe Montana, cool, incisive, willing his team to win. Enjoy, and watch the dang football games, they won't win them all, but they're a great team.
To hell with it all!)
What are you a clone?
LOL
The rest of the ballot is fairly clear.. It seems odd to ask someone to vote for/against article XII without saying what it is... What if it was adding lead to the water?
Its seems more than "odd" to me LOL

"The Louisiana Legislature has approved a ballot initiative proposing a constitutional amendment to include the freedom to hunt, fish and trap as a fundamental right of citizenship in the Bayou State. SB 2, introduced by Senator Joe McPherson (Woodworth) and coauthored by 76 of his House and Senate colleagues, passed the legislative process without amendment or opposition. It will be on the November 2, 2004 general election ballot. The proposed constitutional amendment is based on the premise that hunting, fishing and trapping are fundamental to citizenship in Louisiana and that these activities were and are understood by both founding and current generations of Louisianans as intrinsic to life in the “Sportsman’s Paradise” – the slogan emblazoned on vehicle license plates."
