And, surely, "Manny Ortez" will win the MVP award in the AL.

You know, I'd almost consider voting for Kerry if his spokesmen would just cut it out with those laboured, godawful, not-at-all-humourous similes. Though the one the other day was even worse - when Lynne Cheney made some off-the-cuff joke about Kerry going orange and the official response was (Googles quickly):

"Is Mrs. Cheney jealous considering how hard it is to get sun in the undisclosed location with her husband Dick? Or is she distracted over how red-in-the-face George Bush should be considering his failed presidency?"

Jesus Christ, people, stop showing off your lame, witty-at-3-AM observations and lighten up. Can you imagine what it'll be like if Kerry is elected? At the first sign of disagreement with other leaders, his press office will be saying things like "Prime Minister Putin has observed that President Kerry does not recognize "the dark cloud of fanaticism which now hangs over some parts of the world. Perhaps Volodya has forgotten the dark cloud of Chernobyl, in which he cannot prove he did not play a decisive part. Furthermore, he fails to realize what innate prejudices are revealed by the word "dark." You may have forgotten the slaughtered Chechens of Beslan, Mr. Putin, but WE have NOT."

I'm giving myself chills. Time to chill out, indeed :).

Let's hope that the good people of Wisconsin are more knowledgeable than this USAToday focus group from OHIO on C-Span.

What a bunch of clueless middle Americans -- they reminded me of the Monty Python sketch where the mob is trying to decide if a woman is a witch:

Sir Bedevere : There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1 : Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere : Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1 : Burn them.
Sir Bedevere : And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1 : More witches.
Peasant 2 : Wood.
Sir Bedevere : Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3 : ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere : Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1 : Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere : But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1 : Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere : Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1 : No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere : No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1 : Bread.
Peasant 2 : Apples.
Peasant 3 : Very small rocks.
Peasant 1 : Cider.
Peasant 2 : Gravy.
Peasant 3 : Cherries.
Peasant 1 : Mud.
Peasant 2 : Churches.
Peasant 3 : Lead! Lead!
King Arthur : A Duck.
Sir Bedevere : ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1 : If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere : And therefore...
Peasant 2 : ...A witch!

Comparing the Swifties' ad with Texans for Truth, one moron actually stated (without contradiction) that none of the Swifties even served with Kerry while the Alabama National Guardsman claiming he never saw Bush was "at least on the same frickin' base." God help us, maybe it was just USAToday packing the group with Democrats but I was not encouraged if this is representative of the undecided voter in a swing state.
