The SwiftVets Aren't Playing

Bill from INDC mentions their newest endorser, Col. "Bud" Day, Medal of Honor winner and POW.

Meanwhile, RedState both scores a blogging coup and also creates further "shadowy links" between the right wing blogosphere and the SwiftVets by being invited to watch the filming of the next SwiftVets ad.

The SwiftVets appear poised to hit hard:

We have agreed not to discuss details of this ad in advance. We can report that it will be the most crippling blow delivered so far from a group that almost certainly single-handedly derailed the initial momentum of the Kerry campaign in August.

And thanks to an overwhelming spontaneous deluge of gifts from fellow veterans and fellow citizens, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are now financially prepared to buy enough airtime to have a real impact.

To those who say the Swift Boat charges have already done all the damage they can to Kerry and the campaign has moved on to other fronts, we say, wait until you see this ad!

Sure, sounds a little breathless and all, but I'm inclined to think this will at least be one of their stronger ads.

And this ad will have something the other ads didn't-- real money behind it, and real paid-media exposure.

Seeing that first Swift Vet ad after Kerry's shameless pimping of his war record was like a heroin rush. I give these guys a $25 donation for every ad they produce. And you can see the impact they had if you look at the price graph of the Iowa Electionic Market. It's astonishing. These guys did an unbelievable service to this country by doing their best to keep a guy like Kerry out of the White House.

Boy, that sounds exciting. But Ace, you forgot to call them "Swift Boat LIARS For Truth". Haven't you gotten the memo? Under McCain-Feingold, they had to change their name. Plus there was already a reggae band called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

Before jumping all over me, I want to make sure everybody knows my above comment was a joke.

I understand they will have Vets, including the Royalty of all Soldiers - the POWs - say one after another that Kerry is a louse - for various reasons.

I sort of wish they would also run a quickie on the VVAW terror plot to assassinate 6 Congressional leaders. The one that Kerry denied involved in until witnesses - inc. one called by Kerry's henchman to "change his memory of events" said Kerry was there. Then the FBI FOIA report nailed Kerry as definitely being at the 1971 Kansas City VVAW meeting. Senator Kerry then claimed he had no memory of discussing killing some of the Senators he testified in front of, in offices he hoped to be in one day. His staff called it "an interesting historical footnote to a controversial but long-ago time".

Yeah, right! Kerry's biggest lie of all, even if witnesses said he strongly and persuasively argued against killing the Congressional leaders at the meeting. Kerry the lying patrician terror plotter.

What is disturbing is that Kerry refuses to release all of his records. Apparantly, he was NOT dishonorable discharged, his reason for refusing the relase, and his records were obviously 'cleaned' a little by Clinton before he left office in 2001. This is an important issue, and since a suit was placed in court for Bush's files, I find it disturbing that nobody looks into Kerry's files, who would reveal the dark character of Kerry.

This isn't Christmas Eve fare, and I thought about waiting until the 26th to post it, but supposedly an amateur detective has solved the Zodiac killer mystery. And the horrific Black Dahlia killing. He says it's the same person! I always thought of them as very far apart in time but I think Black Dahlia was mid-fifties (nope, 1947) mid and the Zodiac murders began in 1968 so it's possible it's the same killer.

The killer, if it's the same man, would have been in his 20s when he killed the Black Dahlia and his 40s when he did the Zodiac murders. Possible.

A little caveat: I saw someone snark on Reddit, "The Zodiac case gets solved more often than Wordle." There are a ton of coincidences here, supposedly, like a Zodiac cipher being solved by the name "Elizabeth." Elizabeth Short was the name of the so-called Black Dahlia.

If you don't know about the Black Dahlia, don't look it up. Just accept that it's grisly on the level of Jack the Ripper.

Yes, the named suspect resembles the police sketch of Zodiac.

Here's a podcast with the amateur sleuth who claims he cracked the Zodiac.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
