"The embattled farmers stood and fired the shot heard round the world," declared Ted Kennedy, in a moment of Revolutionary War nostalgia.
Of course if ol Ted and his ilk were around then the farmers of Massachusetts would have been limited to throwing rocks at the Redcoats.....

"and I'm ... reporting for duty." Just showing up for work would be nice for starters!

Excerpted - I give up - what does the word "excerpted" mean?
I thought it meant taking a small portion of something.

"I'm John Kerry," began the candidate last Thursday night, "and I'm ... reporting for duty." I saw this quote as a headline last week and my reaction was to imagine what the captain would say to him in reply...
"Kerry!!! We're still at Condition One. Your battle station is in the Senate. What in hell are you doing here?"

But it seems to me emblematic of the Democratic Party's problem intellectually: it's almost wholly reactionary -- on national security, on Social Security. What are the Democrats for? Well, they're for getting rid of George W. Bush, but what else? That says it all. The GOP is the party of ideas. The Dems are the party of the status quo.

"I sold my bicycle for Democracy" Ironic that the Socialists are using proud to use capitalism to destroy America.
Like the terrorists who use Western technology to attack us because their pathetic culture is so backward.

Now, I wonder about 'Rat Kerry's interest in the space program.
Could it be?

We won't know for sure until November but based on current polling numbers and the 2000 results it appears that about 1/2 of all voters ARE sold on what ever the Dems were selling at this convention. Even if it's incoherrent, irresponsible, based on lies, and would surely result in total failure.
THAT is the scary thing about what I saw at the Democratic Convention.

they "fired the shirt round the world." He really said that? LOL!
