"I actually was at Game 6, before I wasn't"

So, John Kerry has been telling the story of how he agonized about Bill Buckner's error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. He was just thirty yards away, he says, in attendance at the game.

Football Fans For Truth discovers he was actually at a political banquet in Boston on that date.

Could he have still attended Game 6? Maybe grabbed some chow and then rushed over to Fenway?

It would seem unlikely. Game 6 was played in New York.

But. . . but. . . it's seared-- SEARED!-- into his memory!

Sigh.

Ya know, I knew someone like that waaay back in high school. He always knew somebody who knew somebody who worked on the Aerosmith tour, just when Aerosmith made their big comeback.

Oh, and he once dated the chick from Small Wonder's sister.

And he knew Eddie Murphy before he became famous.

And so on, and so on.

It's like they subconciously realize their life isn't so interesting, so they have to embelish it in order to relate to the "common folk."

But hey, he's only claiming to be a Red Sox fan when they're *winning*-- it's not like Kerry's claiming to have invented the internet, or anything.

Sigh.

Are we *really* going to elect this bozo?

At least Dubya realizes he's a little slow off the draw, and jokes about it.

Kerry wouldn't understand the concept of self-deprecation if it were taught to him in French.

Cheers,
Dave

Wait. Wait. The Cambodia Red Sox were playing at Fenway that year...?

John Kerry, a member of VVARS (Vietnam Veterans Against the Red Sox), would testify before the Senate that he had seen Red Sox fans "cut off Bill Buckner's ears, cut off his head, tape wires from portable phones to his genitals and turn up the power, cut off his limbs, blow up his body, randomly shot at him, raze Buckner's home in a fashion reminiscent of Jinghis Khan..."

Other than the serious lies Kerry made about his Vietnam era service and dissent, most of his later lies are those of an inept buffoon....who is ambushed again and again by fact -checkers.

But on liars, lets be fair. Bush lies through his teeth. His 600 billion drug subsidy plan to Big Pharma? Only to "help suffering seniors and enable the Big Cancer Cure sure to come in the next year or so", he claims - just like it was touted in the last 35 years. His "It's YOUR MONEY" tax cuts to only help struggling little small businessmen create jobs? Actually borrowed money from China, Germany, France to kickback to campaign donor corporations and fatcats, inc. those "struggling small businessmen Netting 200K in profits each year - not the Mom&Pop antique shoppe or the single Mom entrepreneur who types lawyers notes.

His plan to eliminate dividends, capital gains and stock options? A great help to billionaires like Ta -rayzza Heinze Kerry to lower her total taxes to 5-7% while working slobs hit with regressive local, state, payroll, Fed fees, and Fed Income tax pay out 33% of their wages in total taxes.

Whoever you vote for, remember that both Bush and Kerry are bought whores of their special interests groups and both glibly lie to advance their true constituent's interests, or lie directly to their constituents...all to get the vote.

Kerry is notable for lying about anything to advance John Kerry, not for any cause. He is amoral. Bush at least lies for causes he honestly believes in...particularly more IOUs to foreign nations to get more wealth going to the richest individuals and corporations.

Ughhh! Your choice. Your vote.

He reaced the point, long ago, of certification for Pathological Liar.

He said he was Irish. He's not.
He said he was in Cambodia. He wasn't.
He said he shut down Organized Crime as a D.A...He didn't (he prosecuted a couple of ginmills that had illegal poker machines - big fucking deal)

And the supposed truths aren't that Big that someone would continually make shit up about them.

But he does.

Thank God for blogs.

Where do you get that propaganda?

Posted by: on October 23, 2004 09:37 PM

anonymous - you lack definition. Which party do you think lies? Which is simply telling the truth, but is unfairly described as spewing propaganda?

Kerry lying about everthing?
Bush lying to "take your back" of the wealthiest?

Make your call, laddie!

Posted by: Cedarford on October 24, 2004 12:36 AM

I'm not talking about a party. I'm talking about this tired old "tax cuts for the wealthy" garbage.

Posted by: on October 24, 2004 01:07 AM

No, no, no. The newspaper article was wrong. Didn't you see the banquet was at the World Trade Center. The one in NYC, not Boston. The paper just got there cities mixed up...

Oh no! Hamas' de facto press agent at the UN complains that she can't use her credit cards or rent a card now that she's been sanctioned as a terrorist operative
Why does this keep happening to members of the "political organization" (per Tucker Carlson) of Hamas?!?!

Tucker Carlson claims that it's weird that Ted Cruz is interested in the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, because he has "no track record of being interested in Christians," then blows off the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, saying it might or might not be a real concern
Tucker Carlson enjoys using the left-wing tactic of "Tactical Ignorance" to avoid taking positions on topics. Is Hamas really a terrorist organization? Tucker can't say. He hasn't looked into it enough, but "it seems like a political organization to me." Are Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria? Again, Tucker just doesn't know. He hasn't examined the evidence yet. He knows every Palestinian Christian who said he was blocked from visiting holy sites in Bethlehem, but he just hasn't had the time to look into the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria that has been going on since (checks watch) 2009. He doesn't know, so he can't offer an opinion. Wouldn't be prudent, you know? Don't rush him! He'll sift through the evidence at some point in the future and render an opinion sometime around 2044.
Of course, if you need an opinion on Jewish Perfidy, he has all the facts at his fingertips and can give you a fully informed opinion pronto. Say, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty incident...?
You'd think that the main issue for Tucker Carlson, who pretends to be so deeply concerned about Palestinian Christians being bullied by Jews in Israel (supposedly), would be the massacre of 185,000 Christians in Nigeria itself. But no, his main problem is that Ted Cruz is talking about it, "who has no track record of being interested in Christians at all." And then he just shrugs as to whether this is even a real issue or not.
Whatever we do we must never "divide the right," huh?
Tucker is attacking Ted Cruz for bringing the issue up because he's acting as an apologist for Jihadism, and he can't cleanly admit that Jihadists are killing any Christians, anywhere. There is no daylight between him and CAIR at this point.
One might conclude that Tucker Carlson himself isn't interested in the plight of Christians -- except as they can be used as a cudgel to attack Jews.
Just gonna ask an Interesting Question myself -- why is it that Tucker Carlson's arguments all track with those shit out by Qatarian propaganda agents and the far left? That if Jews crush an ant underfoot it is worldwide news, but when Muslims slaughter Christians it elicits not even a vigorous shrug?

Sydney Sweeney has passed from celebrity to Meme Legend

Garth Merenghi is interviewed by the only man who can fathom his ineffable brilliance -- Garth Merenghi
From the comments:

I once glimpsed Garth in the penumbra betwixt my wake and sleep. He was in my dream, standing afar, not looking my way, nor did he acknowledge me. But I felt seen. And that's when I knew I was a traveler on the right path. I'm glad he's still with us.

Now that's some Merenghian prose.
Garth Merenghi on the writer's craft

Greetings, Traveler. If you still have not experienced Garth Merenghi -- Author, Dream-weaver, Visionary, plus Actor -- the six episodes of his Darkplace are still available on YouTube and supposedly upscaled to HD. (Viewing it now, it doesn't appeared upscaled for shit.)
I think the second episode, "Hell Hath Fury," is the best by a good margin. Try to at least watch through to that one. It's Mereghi's incisive but nuanced take on sexism.

Update on Scott Adams:

Scott Adams had approval for this cancer drug but they hadn't scheduled him to get it. He was taking a turn for the worse. Trump had told him to call if he needed anything, so he did. Talked to Don Jr (who is in Africa) , then RFK Jr, then Dr Oz. Someone talked to Kaiser and he was scheduled. Shouldn't have needed it but he did and he says it saved his life.

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.
