Shock: Kerry Admits French and German Troops in Iraq "Unlikely"Apparently Kerry will also fail his self-declared Global Test: "Does that mean allies are going to trade their young for our young in body bags? I know they are not. I know that," he said. Asked about that statement later, Mr. Kerry said, "When I was referring to that, I was really talking about Germany and France and some of the countries that had been most restrained." Ummm, follow-up, please? Which countries are these that Kerry asserts are "more willing to accept responsibilities"? Narnia? Oz? Gondor? And on that point, James Lileks writes that Kerry's Global Test fails the Reality Test. Update-- Forgot to Credit: I had dozens of windows open and I couldn't track back to who tipped me to Kerry's admission regarding French and German troops. It was Allah, by way of Right On Red. posted by Ace at 02:30 PM
CommentsNow I am really depressed - how can we possibly win the war without French troops? Oh well, I guess Iraq did not pass the global test but then again neither did Rwanda or Sudan. Posted by: Dittybopper on October 6, 2004 03:07 PM
Heck, if we get Gondor and/or Rohan, I don't think we need France. Posted by: SparcVark on October 6, 2004 03:25 PM
Who needs those countries? Posted by: Johnny Catbird on October 6, 2004 03:37 PM
Narnia!!!!!! Best laugh all week. Thanks. Posted by: Longshanks on October 6, 2004 03:40 PM
Kerry's getting too damn close to me again. What the hell is he trying to do, put John Deere out fo the Manure Spreader business? Posted by: PCD on October 6, 2004 03:49 PM
A first I laughed a Narnia, but think about it. Those guys know how to fight. I mean there army is imaginary, but so is France's. Plus we would have the God/Lion Aslan on our side. I am sure Aslan could kill Allah (and I don't mean our blogging friend Allah). Now that would be a debate or fight I would want to see: Aslan vs. Allah!

Whenever I want someone to help in a noble cause, I ALWAYS pull up beside them, give them a gentle nudge in the ribs and whisper: "hey, you want to trade some of your young for our young in body bags?" he's so nuanced. Posted by: moflicky on October 6, 2004 06:55 PM
The Kerry campaign is also implicitly admitting that they would have left Saddam in power, if they had had the choice. Posted by: the House of Payne on October 6, 2004 07:25 PM
I'm actually interested in what would happen if Kerry won. Would he return Saddam to Iraq put him back in power, pull our troops, hand him a few billion as compensation, and re-instate sanctions? Obviously, if they think this war is a mistake, then they should be undoing it, like they think the tax cuts were a mistake and they will roll them back. If they think the world is no more safer, and in some speeches, even more dangerous because of the Iraq affair, wouldn't this make us safer? Why would they go looking for people to sign up for a war that is wrong, and even they don't believe in? Interesting how many mistakes Kerry & Co have made on this campaign. I hate to think of the double talk he would pull as president. Posted by: DelphiGuy on October 6, 2004 10:42 PM
Again, Ace shows he's a class act with his honor code of linkage. Thanks, dude. Posted by: Johnny Walker Red on October 7, 2004 03:15 AM

ICYMI: Australian journalist actually presses Kamala Harris when she repeatedly dodges questions about Biden's mental fitness

She may not know what the hell her book is about, but she definitely knows that "every day I wake up black and queer." Join the club, sister!
Schmoll: 53% of New Jersey likely voters say their neighbors are voting for Ciattarelli, while 47% say the cheater/grifter Mikie Sherrill
The "who do you think your neighbors are voting for" question is designed to avoid the Shy Tory problem, wherein conservative people lie to schmollsters because they don't want to go on record with a likely left-winger telling them who they're really voting for. So instead the question is who do you think your neighbors are voting for, so people can talk about who they themselves support without actually having to admit it to a left-wing rando stranger recording their answers on the phone.

Interesting football history: How the forward pass was created in response to the nineteen -- 19! -- people killed playing football in 1905 alone
The original rules of football did not allow forward passes. The ball was primarily advanced by running, with blockers forming lines with interlocked arms and just smashing into the similarly-interlocked defensive lines. It was basically Greek hoplite spear formations but with a semi-spherical ball. As calls to ban the sport entirely grew, some looked for ways to de-emphasize mass charges as the primary means of advancing the ball, and some specifically championed allowing a passer to throw the ball forward.

Atari to release former competitor Intellivision with 45 games for $149
I always thought Intellivision was kinda lame (to the extent a cutting edge videogame box can be lame). Intellivision insists upon itself. Pitfall was a really good game. I don't know if it was available on Intellivision. Update: It was. But I don't know if it's included in the new unit.
