Evan Thomas: Liberal Psychic"There's one other base here, the media. Let's talk a little media bias here. The media, I think, wants Kerry to win and I think they're going to portray Kerry and Edwards I'm talking about the establishment media, not Fox. They're going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic and there's going to be this glow about them, collective glow, the two of them, that's going to be worth maybe 15 points." -- Evan Thomas, Newsweek Well, now. Apparently Evan "Dead Zone" Thomas can see the future by touching liberals:
If you can't read that headline, it's "Kerry's Bet on Edwards and the Politics of Optimism." Oh, and in "web-exclusive commentary," we have this unpredictable analysis as well: Campaign Paragon: John Edwards has morphed into an almost-perfect candidate. And his sunny outlook is infecting Kerry, too. Hmmmm... sunny outlook, almost perfect, paragon. Wasn't some Yoda-like Newsweek writer just telling us that Kerry-Edwards would be portrayed as "dynamic," "optimistic," and "with this glow about them"? Whether psychically attuned to the future or else simply having inside information about his own liberal magazine and the liberal mindset generally, credit Thomas for having the integrity to admit the blindingly obvious. The Liberal Media is Smitten Update: Check out MyPetJawa's run down on the media's barrage of valentines in John Edwards' direction. Give the liberal media credit: Unlike that abused enlistee in Full Metal Jacket, the liberal medai do have the common courtesy of providing a reach-around. posted by Ace at 06:17 PM

Did you hear the great news about the Federal Marriage Amendment? It died in the Senate, so there's nothing stopping Kerry and Edwards now. BTW, neither of them showed up to vote - my theory is that they meant to, but ended up groping each other in the Senate coat closet and lost track of time. Posted by: Aaron on July 14, 2004 07:21 PM
Ace, Thank you for replacing that picture of Rosie the Hutt with the Bushgirls. They're like sorbet to the mind's (horribly abused by lez-fatty) palate. Posted by: hobgoblin on July 14, 2004 07:31 PM
Shameless plug, but relevant and (ahem) 'well researched'. I did a quick search of adjectives used to describe John Edward's and posted them here. Read them and tell me about the 'unbiased' media. http://mypetjawa.blogspot.com/#108914907187016677 Posted by: Rusty Shackleford on July 14, 2004 07:31 PM
I guess "Kedwards" and their campaigners in the major media have learned from watching Carter, Reagan, and Clinton how far smiles can carry a candidate. I've long been doubtful about "women's suffrage" in part because I fear that women have an especially great susceptibility to seeing a candidate and saying "Oo, such a nice man! We should all vote for him." There, that should draw some interesting responses. Posted by: Doug on July 15, 2004 09:03 AM
That "optimism" reference got me too. I haven't met a liberal optimimst in several years. Has anyone else? Posted by: on July 15, 2004 10:46 AM
I think liberals are more optimistic when there's a Democrat in the White House. Right now they're all pessimists because they think American freedom will be extinguished any day now by jack-booted thugs in the Bush=Hitler Nazi patrol. If Kerry were to get elected, I bet every liberal I know will get a sudden case of incurable optimism. But if he does get elected, it will be ironic, since he got onto the ticket and gets all of his points from trashing a booming economy and the prosecution of a war that has deposed one of the bloodiest tyrants of our time, liberated 25 million people, created a democratic constitution in the Middle East and brought freedom and hope to people who have been oppressed since before I was alive. John Kerry doesn't see any of that - and somehow he's the optimist? Posted by: Aaron on July 15, 2004 11:21 AM

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.[CBD]
