March on Washington
An over-estimated 500,000 to 800,000 women with nothing better to do, marched on the Washington Mall yesterday to fight a battle they won thirty years ago and are in no real danger of losing any ground. (There isn’t a politician with enough guts to take on this issue in the near future that could pose a threat.) Unable to find a worthy, current cause to channel their misplaced energies, the paranoids poured onto the mall to listen to endless reruns of speeches that have grown old and tired, and discuss the latest episode of Survivor, Oprah, Dr. Phil, and why the chosen Apprentice wasn’t a woman. The conclusion being that Donald Trump is sexist. Next march to be organized will be on Trump Tower.

ABC’s Noose
I’ve heard rumblings that a bait and switch operation has been fulminating in the Democratic Party headquarters but didn’t give it much credence. Today, ABC has started putting the knives in John Kerry’s back. If CBS runs this story, we'll know he is being burned at the stake to allow Hillary to rise up out of his ashes at the convention. Hillary's highest poll numbers occur when she stays out of the limelight and keeps her foot out of her mouth. I don't think she could really survive the scrutiny of a full campaign season but a short four month one she would probably do pretty well. Heads up hardworking Americans. We need to have a pre-emptive strike on this one. Let the games begin!

On the Fringes
Kerry takes Communion at a church known for reaching out to "marginalized" Catholics despite a strong stance from the Vatican. Somehow it seems to fit a man with marginalized politics and character that his spirituality is also out there. That may be the only consistency in him. If I were his PR person, I would be slitting my wrists now. The "in your face attitude" will not sit well for the large voting block of Catholics who take their religion very seriously.

Democrats for Bush
I was researching Zell Miller's endorsement of President Bush to see how it was progressing and my Google search returned this blog. Check it out.

More on Kerry's Lacking Character
An Arizona blogger, John Moore, has been doing a lot of research on John F'ing Kerry and has some interesting information you just don't find being questioned in the main stream press.

It's Important to Maintain a Sense of Humor
My favorite Iraqi bloggers have posted criteria for an interim President. I'm glad to see that they are still maintaining a sense of humor with all that is going on there. If they can, I can. Scroll down to the April 25, 2004 entry.

I'm signing off to keep the creditors happy now.
