Kerry and The Patriots Act

Posted by Moonage on 31 Oct 2004 | Tagged as: 2004 Presidential Election, Opinions

Nope, I’m not talking about THE Patriot Act, I’m talking about The PATRIOTS Act.
In September 2003, John Kerry of Boston appeared in front of an aircraft carrier to inform the world he intended to run for President.
In September 2003, The New England Patriots of Boston lost for the last time.
The last possible game before the [...]

Jim Crow, The KKK, Bin Laden, and Hitler

Posted by Moonage on 30 Oct 2004 | Tagged as: The Media

Last night, Hannity and Colmes decided to “evaluate” Bin Laden’s speech. Hannity made the mistake of using Peggy Noonan as a guest. As expected, she gave a very partisan interpretation of it. Colmes then lashed into her with a vengeance I would have preferred he displayed for Bin Laden. By the [...]

Michael Moore and Osama Bin Laden

Posted by Moonage on 30 Oct 2004 | Tagged as: 2004 Presidential Election, International Politics, Opinions, The Media

Michael Moore released Fahrenheit 9/11 as purely an effort to embarass George Bush. It did some damage as the anti-Bush segment of the population rallied around it moreso than they were their own candidate at the time. Four days before the election, Osama Bin Laden appears before our very eyes basically endorsing Kerry [...]

Check 21

Personal checks used to move cross-country on planes and trains, but a new law going into effect Thursday is putting processing on the electronic superhighway possibly at the expense of consumers.
The law, called Check 21, promises to save the banking industry $2 billion per year by electronically processing checks, which will eliminate the [...]

Dissension within the ranks, and the politics of doubt

Rant #7
John Dvorak had an item in PC Magazine this month that got me to thinking, and I’m in agreement with him.
Quote: Information revolution notwithstanding, the Internet will prove to be the undoing of society and civilization as we know it.
TEOTWAWKI
His premise is that the Internet is turning into a bad dream. And [...]

Domestic terrorists and the election

Posted by Moonage on 29 Oct 2004 | Tagged as: 2004 Presidential Election, Opinions

In lieu of the threat from “Azzam the American“, I can’t help but wonder, given all the heated rhetoric, whether a domestic citizen might feel compelled to affect the election with a faux Al Qaeda agenda. Just act like you’re Al Qaeda, make a video claiming to be Al Qaeda, and kill a bunch [...]

Kerry’s Quaylisms

Posted by Moonage on 28 Oct 2004 | Tagged as: 2004 Presidential Election, The Media

I have often wondered why the media is so quick to dismiss Kerry’s frequent mis-speaks. When Quayle misspelled potatoe, the media jumped all over it, turning Quayle into a liability Bush could never recover from. Kerry does it all the time, no mention of it by the media at all. IBD finally [...]

David Weston on Media Bias

Posted by Moonage on 27 Oct 2004 | Tagged as: The Media

Excellent read.
ABC News President David Westin warned against the proliferation of opinion commentary in the news media at the Institute of Politics’ John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum yesterday night.
The more time we express our opinions, the less time we have to talk about the facts, Westin said. Unfortunately, opinion is driving out facts too [...]
