"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...

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.

Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.

One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:

Funny -- if you don't mind clicking on TikTok. "Amy.Pranks.22" set up an AI scam-call screener which replies to a foreign scammer trying to get her bank information with Trumpian bluster. This might be fake because I don't see how a program can respond in real time, but it's funny.

The ULA rocket just launched
Thanks to Joyenz
The rocket's enormous engines are fueled by "the volcanic heterosexual lust between James Talarico and his Neighbor With a Uterus 'girlfriend'"
I hope Amazon's rocket works better than the Amazon Prime app does as far as allowing people to watch the black and white version of "Spider-Noir"

From the CA Post:

Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass' biggest headache.

A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor.

And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.

Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week's primary.

Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.

Thanks to beckster

Just like "Spartacus" Corey Booker, now that James Talarico is running for a higher office, he unveils his previously-unknown "girlfriend" and hooboy, it just so happens she used to work for him, and, get this, likes to "dance the night away" at gay bars
Gee I wonder where they might have met
Oh and she's a vegan
When Corey Booker needed a "girlfriend," he conjured up known LGBTQ activist Rosario Dawson. How convenient that when these guys need a girlfriend to show off to the normies that just happen to find an activist with a strong history of and interest in Supporting Gay Men
But seriously, this James Talarico romance with a Neighbor with a Uterus is a love story for the ages. The passion of their lovemaking is hotter than a blue star with a core of Primordial Sex Atoms created in the Big Bang

"Teen" charged with five counts of attempted murder after attempting to run down police officers with his car in yet another "teen takeover" permitted by woke racist incompetent Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson
Johnson's response to the "teen takeovers" of streets and businesses that he refuses to make arrests to stop is to go after social media companies for not deleting messages to coordinate the "teen takeovers." Um, they're supposed to find these messages and delete them in real time?
It makes no sense but he has to offer an "alternative" plan to just arresting lawbreakers -- which he absolutely refuses to do, saying we "can't arrest our way out" of rampant crime.

Future Tucker Carlson guest James Talarico:

James Talarico
@jamestalarico

Black Americans in a church.

Mexican Americans in a store.

Asian Americans in a spa.

Radicalized white men are the greatest domestic terrorist threat in our country.

He's referring to three mass attacks committed by white men in, oh, the past six or eight years. There were a huge number of mass shootings and bombings he had to skip over to cherry pick three committed by white men. Which kind of makes me think that "white men" are not the greatest terrorist threat in our country.
No, I doubt he'll be a guest on Tucker Carlson. The only thing that Tucker clings to that he claims makes him "conservative" is a palpable hatred of gays. Any time there's a communist enslaving their population and executing dissenters and conservatives, Tucker praises that dictator by saying "at least he represses the homos!"
