Ann Coulter Nicked by Pie

Tonight I walked into a Waldenbooks and got spooked real bad. There were three books on the big promo display featuring Ann Coulter's visage. Three books by the liberal-bashing Internet columnist on the shelves at the same time? I half-expected to find an exercise video by Ms. Coulter. Not yet.

Ann was attacked yesterday in Arizona by two pie-wielding students with poor aim. She was merely nicked. Must have been girlie-men.

Castro Falls!!!

Decades of anti-communist embargos have finally paid off. Castro fell today, just two weeks before the US election. Condoleeza Rice interrupted one of her campaign appearances to point out that the President's uncompromising stand against Castro had paid off.
Swing Voters Lured by Sex

Votergasm has the answer to how to get sex-starved swing voters to the polls on November 2nd. Maybe this will make up some libidos.

Dancing Brad vs Christian Brad

The latest anti-Brad Carson Republican TV ad features a cartoon of a dancing Brad Carson and a silly claim that Brad wants to increase every Oklahoman's taxes by $7,000 You can view the ad at SoonerPolitics. This race is really getting low - because the stakes are high for the two major parties.

Today I received a Brad Carson brochure in the mail that makes three key points about Carson: 1) he is Christian, 2) a fiscal conservative and 3) an independent leader. Points 2 and 3 I can understand, but why does Brad want to tell us which church he goes to? Obviously, he has to try to neutralize Republican Tom Coburn's appeal to evangelical conservatives. The brochure features photos of Brad hunting, he and his wife holding a Bible in church, and walking next to an oil well. This is what you have to do to win an election in Oklahoma. Pretty sad.
Denise Bode Endorses Herself

OkieDoke reports that Bode has won her own endorsement. That's pretty bad if you have to assure voters you really are for yourself.

More on Koch

Maybe it's not just protecting America that Koch is so concerned about. In an article in the Jewish World Review Koch makes it pretty clear that he supports Bush because Bush supports Israel. Maybe this wouldn't be a problem if the interests of the U.S. and Israel were always congruent - but they aren't. When the interests diverge Mr Koch - which way do you go? In this article Koch has the arrogance to suggest the Democrat Party, not he, is headed in the wrong direction.

According to an article in WorldNet Daily:

Koch says he "cannot understand why Jews who care about Israel would vote Democrat this year." Are we saying that American citizens should vote for someone based on what that person will do for some other country? Are you saying, Koch, that our loyalty to our country and its democracy should maybe be 80/20 - or 60/40?

I don't care what you think Koch, I'm 100% American. When it comes to my vote, I don't owe alligence to any other country.
Ed Koch lost his marbles?

Ed Koch, former mayor of New York, is on the Daily Show telling me he doesn't agree with President Bush on any domestic issue - but is supporting Bush for re-election for the single reason he thinks the President is better at guarding us against terrorism. I had a pretty good opinion of Koch but if that's his reasoning ability these days I have to rethink that opinion. Ok, I rethought it. Koch has lost it.

If America really thought like Koch apparently does we'd be so obsessed with terrorism we could no longer think straight. We'd toss out our liberties, our principles, our freedom - which is exactly what terrorism's objectives are. We would no longer be the United States - at least not the United States I love.

There's more to life than mere survival.
