Check this out, a site where Kerry voters can apologize to the world. I think a few are directing their messages to OBL, as in, please don't blow up my state!

Why doesn't Bill Clinton just shut up? He and the Beaste are two of many reasons the Dem party is losing voters.
From the "cutting off one's nose" department of pointless symbolism accomplishing nothing:
A Georgia man fatally shot himself at Ground Zero, and friends believe the tragic suicide was a political protest against President Bush's reelection and the war in Iraq. The body of Andrew Veal, 25, a university research worker who was engaged to be married, was found on the hallowed ground of the World Trade Center site yesterday morning. Veal didn't leave a note, but those who knew the sensitive young man said he sent a grim message by choosing to end his life where almost 3,000 people perished on Sept. 11, 2001.
"I'm absolutely sure it's a protest," said Mary Anne Mauney, Veal's supervisor at the University of Georgia survey research lab. "I don't know what made him commit suicide, but where he did it was symbolic."
"I see it as a political statement," agreed co-worker Stacey Sutherland. "He was so opposed to the war." When Veal failed to show up at work on Wednesday, his pals assumed he was upset that Bush had beaten John Kerry in the race for the White House ... rest of story
The stress of the campaign drove Laura to pick up cigarettes, according to NY Daily News:
The presidential campaign was stressful enough to send the First Lady, an avowed nonsmoker, back to her chain-smoking ways. "Absolutely no one was allowed to see her smoking," says one insider. "At events where she appeared, there had to be a room off to the side where she could close the door and chain-smoke before and after she spoke." The official version is that Mrs. B gave up cigarettes at the same time she made her husband kick the bottle. And a spokesperson for the First Lady's office insisted that Mrs. Bush did not use a smoking room at appearances. Which is a pity, because it actually makes her kind of likable.
What a silly thing to say. How does smoking necessarily make a person more likeable?
Happy Hour
An elderly gentleman, in his mid 90's, with hair well groomed, a great looking suit, a flower in his lapel, smelling slightly of a very nice after shave, and presenting a well-cared-for image, walks into an upscale cocktail lounge.
Seated at the bar an elderly lady, mid 80's, also well dressed and attractive is sitting alone.
The gentleman walks over, sits down beside her, orders a drink, takes a sip, turns to her and says, "So tell me, do I come here often?"

Sorry. ;-)
Got elk?
He never calls until he's 60 miles from home. No news is good news.
And who cares.
Meaning: Who care about the elk. Not who cares about OG.
Windex time here.
Cheers up there.
Time for me to go throw some stuff into the bag for a trip north tomorrow: my father's an appointment with a ticker doctor.
This aging business can get tricky.
Hoping for a good report for your Dad at tomorrow's appointment. You are a good and faithful son to accompany him.
Thanks, friend. It's the very least that I can do, after all that my folks did for me over the years.
I would be a real pos if I did less...something comes to mind about honoring your mother and your father.
In my dotage, I do try.
I'm so glad they finally got the election celebration that was denied in 2000, and delayed this year!
Even if Kerry had gotten ALL of Naders' vote, it still would not have been enough for him to win in any state!
This was the "Redeem the Vote" crowd! Woo Hoo!
Must run this morning, early doc. appt, back later, but I wanted to ask if anyone saw Alexsandra Pelosi on Topic A last night. She has quite an opinion of Bill Clinton. On the subject of bringing him into Kerry's campaign, she groaned, ohhh, why did they have to drag that blow job into it?! Or something close to that, and she didn't let up, she wailed, nobody likes clinton, it's time for them both to go away, and other such disapproving comments. I thought Tina Brown and Carl Berstein were going to croak right on set.
Later......
Is that Nancy's daughter the documentary maker saying this? (I really cannot keep all these pundits straight, and don't watch the talking head shows). If so, I think that's hilarious. Bubba wants so much to be loved, and he's been getting it from all sides ever since he arose from his sickbed to save Kerry's campaign.
Did C-SPAN acquiesce, I wonder:
In the summer of 2003 the Kerry campaign had quietly made some inquiries with C-Span, asking the cable network not to release old videotapes of Kerry as an angry young vet fulminating about war crimes and atrocities.
.... Historian Douglas Brinkley, author of a wartime biography of Kerry, cautioned that Kerry's diary included mention of a meeting with some North Vietnamese terrorists in Paris. Edwards was flabbergasted. "Let me get this straight," the senator said. "He met with terrorists? Oh, that's good." ... The Newsweek story
PREVIOUS First Daughter Chelsea, who doesn't want publicity, doesn't want interviews, just hired p.r. man Howard Rubenstein. What she does want isn't clear. Clear only is what those around say she does well — write.
She certainly made it clear in the waning days of the Kerry campaign that she's no public speaker.
Remember the Georgia grad student who committed suicide at Ground Zero supposedly to protest the Iraq war? It looks like he was just a messed up kid failing to juggle two girlfriends:
The Georgia man who killed himself at Ground Zero was upset about President Bush's reelection - but his biggest problem may have been his double life, a source told the Daily News yesterday. Andrew Veal, 25, was engaged to be married to an Iowa college student, whom he was supposed to see at her sister's wedding in Seattle this weekend. But Veal also had a girlfriend in Athens, Ga., where he lived, sources said. ...
Veal was a peaceful, liberal vegetarian who hated guns, never got worked up about politics or 9/11 and seemed content, friends said. full story
There is just something so ironic about a vegetarian with the name Veal.:)
Indeed! LOL
I have been listening to Jim McGreevy finally resign.. what a joke! I think he has spouted every quote in every book.. including the Bible. His point being that he is a changed man.."the truth will set you free". What a pitiful excuse for a public servant! He has been liberally handing out jobs a la Clinton in New Jersey, even angering his Dem named successor.
