  • The Best Debate Live-Blogging

    From somebody who didn’t even watch (and justified it well):

    I’m sure Bush kicked Kerry’s ass all over the stage if you give a farthing about terrorists and killing those who undeniably and without quarter want to kill you. Outside of that, who could possibly give a flying eff at a rolling donut about stem cells or deficits or the opinions of the French or Germans? Western civilization is at war. If those dipsticks don’t care to defend it, that’s their call and their shame. But don’t tell me America can’t do it, not when we’ve got the Aussies, the Brits, the Poles and 30 more freedom-loving countries on our side.

    Holy crap, Scott, you are the man. If the world goes to hell and Bush loses, I’m nominating you for President of the reborn Republic of Texas.

  • The Elections that MAY Decide the Election

    Can Afghanistan pull off an election? Will the appeasement win in Australia?

    This will be an interesting weekend. Dems will be spinning for Kerry; the worst of Afghanistan will get more play over the historical enormity of the moment; a Howard affirmation in Australia will be relatively quiet while a slight upset will be portrayed as a brutal rejection of Bush.

    Let’s sit back and watch. And hope. I honestly believe much of our civilization hangs in the balance. I have faith in the Aussies, though; for some reason, there’s always seemed a sort of kinship between Texans and Australians.
