I would like to fight a Bush supporter to vent my anger. If you are one, have a fiery streek, please contact me so we can meet and physically fight. I would like to beat the shit out of you.

ronebofh I think the Democrats lost the election way back in 2002, when they were rolling over for the president in both the House and the Senate. How could they run against him in 2004 after doing exactly what he wanted them to do?

wilwheaton I'm stunned, and at a total loss for words this morning ... Apparently, my country holds a fundamentally different set of ( Read more... )

If you're gloating about the outcome of the election here's some useful tips. Don't just keep it at "we won".

If, at tonight's "town hall debate," when Kerry is asked, "What did you mean in the last debate by 'global test'?", he doesn't answer, "You have ( Read more... )

Last night matrushkaka and I finally got around to seeing "Fog of War", a 90 minute interview with Robert McNamara in which he reflects on his career, mostly as it relates to World War 2 (in which he was a soldier), the 40s (in which he was president of Ford), and Vietnam (in which he was the Secretary of Defense under Johnson). It was amazingly powerful: ( Read more... )

I just added an errata section to the Bush Resume, to track issues that I misrepresented. As I say on the page I think it's important to track both the truths and the myths to keep debate objective.
