No, not really. But I will be affected in a few years when my grandmother passes away. My grandfather had the insight to invest a significant portion of his income in the phone company where he worked and because of that my grandmother is a millionare. She will be one of the tens of thousands affected and she doesn't feel she needs the money that she will give back to the government. She was saddened enough when they stopped taxing the dividends. She doesn't need that extra money, and she doesn't like where this country is going. Especially Bush, she can't stand the man and turns off the TV when he comes on. Read More

I was going to post this in the previous Diary by Disunion but I was hoping to get it out to a bit of a wider audience. I'm not a doctor (yet) but I have had a couple courses in neurology and so understand how the brain works and the significance of CAT scans. Below the fold are one of Terri's CAT scans and one from what I believe is a normal person. Read More

I have nothing to say but I hope for a speedy recovery and that this is simply a minor operation.

Shows how much class he truly does have when a man with heart problems readily sleeps on the floor for a man his senior.

Will update with more info soon, leave your thoughts and well wishes.

as in

Fuck it.

We've worked too hard for too long and lost. We're tired, we're cranky, and we're useless in this state. Put away the computer for a weekend, for a day, for a few hours and enjoy some of the things we have in this country that still make it the best in the world, so you remember what it is we're fighting for.

Go get Drunk (but no driving)

Go get Laid (especially if you're gay, might be your last chance)

Go Get High (again, quickly if it's your thing)

Go for a Picnic

Go Hiking

Go Read a stupid, funny book

Spend time with those people you call your family

Go help some people in the community

we've worked ourselves to the bone, now it's time to rebuild and for that we need energy. Share the good times below.....

sorry to waste a diary but I'm away on business on a horrible internet connection and just got word that one of my best friends in college, her boyfriend, and Dem leaning members of her Ohio family need convincing to vote Kerry.

I want to Nuke Them. Hit them with so many reasons it'll only take one email and they'll be forewarding the email to all their friends and relatives in Ohio

I'm kinda surprised that she's still up in the air as she's pretty liberal, but her boyfriend being a tank commander in Iraq can make her more concerned how she should vote I guess. I wouldn't bother everyone but
a) internet in the hotel is pretty bad
b) she + bf are in a base In Germany voting absentee, I need to get this out tonight Read More

Via the fine folks at RedState, we have the latest swift boat ad preview. This needs to be adressed right away as they're throwing serious mud. Apparently, Kerry has now been colluding with the vietnamese to torture POW's during his efforts to stop the war. We need to nip this in the bud.

A water heater could have beaten Bush last night, it's obvious to all that the President took a dive. Looking back on Bush's rounds against Ann Richards and Al Gore it's apparent he is one of the supreme debaters of all time. So why take a dive? To set Kerry up for the ultimate flip-flop. First Kerry wins a debate, then he loses one. Which one is it Kerry? Can't make up your mind if you're a winner or a loser? The American people deserve an answer. The next round will play to George's ultimate ace in the hole, relating to the common man. The last time Kerry's seen a common man is when he asked one at a restaurant "Do you know who I am?" before not leaving any tip.

I think this past debate is the best we could hope for. If John Kerry isn't curled up in the fetal position after the Town Hall we might have a chance, but we have to be prepared fo Bush incinerating him when exposed to the love that is in that man's heart. We must prepare for the worst next friday.......

yo, as a recent University of Pennsylvania graduate it is my responsibility to bring you the news that Scott Robinson is Fucked. He was just fingered by the college paper Daily Pennsylvanian, who should know him considering he's written for the paper a fair amount.

So here's the big news, enjoy:

The white house is dancing around holding any debates. Obviously it is not in their best interest to stand their candidate next to Kerry so they are doing whatever they can to avoid it. The first response would be to call him a coward and say that he's scared, but that would play right into their hands of lowered expectations. Then, when Bush does debate, his mediocres performance is translated into a victory.

So what does Kerry say?

Our President can't even decide if he will come debate me. I know why, he thinks he weasel his way out of these debates like he's weaseled his way out of everything else. He loves all the great benefits of being president, like going to Republican fundraisers where you have to sign your loyalty over to get in, but hates dealing with anything he finds tedious and boring. Well I'm sorry Mr. President, you don't owe these debates to me, you owe them to the American people. The most important election of our time and this president can't take the time to give the people a choice. I promise that I'll always give you a choice. I don't have all the answers, and you may not agree with me 100%, but I'll always be there for you. I promise you America, I, John Kerry, will be there on the three dates the commision has decided on. Mr. President, do you have enough respect for for our great country to show up?

Is the Kerry Campaign Staffed by geniuses?

Sorry for lack of content, I just got home from class a little while ago (damn cancer bio). I just wanted to lay a little theory one everyone.

The Kerry camp lets them have it easy for two days, knowing giuliani/mccain/arnold are going to be decent speakers and challenging them will gain little. they let the repubs think they're getting away with murder when no one's really paying attention. This allows the Dems to go apeshit unexpectedly the day before Bush speaks when Cheney and Miller get cocky and go crazy, sucking out all the oxygen and exposing the RNC for the hatefest out of the mainstream that it is. Could be the move that knocks the repubs to the matt.

Disclaimer again, I didn't see anything, just got home and read a few reactions, but wanted to hear what you all thought. This could be one hell of a rope a dope jujitsu move. Alright, gotta see the TDS repeat

Ok Kossacks, lets get this out of our system right now. The world has not fallen to pieces, the Kerry campaign is not in shambles. We are just as strong and resolute as we were a week ago. Sure, this is Bush's time to shine and the best they can throw at us is McCain mocking a propagandist (yes, he is a propagandist, but he's OUR propagandist damnit and I love him) and Rudy spitting out more spin than a ferris wheel. Come on, the war president-peace president? That was debunked weeks ago. Don't let the Media sell you shit and tell you it's sunshine.

Yes, our media is disappointing, but we knew coming into this that the establishment would be against us and would not do us any favors. We must meet the road bumps with a steely resolve and never waver. We have two months left, two months that are arguably the most important two months in our lifetimes. Think of the damage a second term would do to our country and let that fire up your anger. Think of the damage already done to our schools, our pursuit of knowledge, to our troops, to our young, to our old, to life, to liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We cannot falter because there will be no one to give us a hand up. We cannot give any quarter because none will be given to us. We must get out there face to face with the people and tell them the truth if those in power will not. We must give what we can so our politicians and surrogates have the ability to speak the truth louder than those bastards out of Texas disseminate their lies.

So no more talk of failed campaigns. This is nothing but a death rattle and the Bushies are just as screwed as they were last week. Now is the time to talk about what we will do in the near future to take control of the situation. I want to hear stories of fundraisers, letter writing, and door knocking. We are stronger then they are because deep down, we know we are right and they know they are built up on a house of lies that will come crashing down upon them. It is just up to us to start swinging harder. Take heart Kossacks, the battle is already won, we just have to tell the world.
