Boy, now nobody can accuse Senator Kerry of not having a sense of humor.
My sides still hurt from the all the hijinks and hilarity.
Oh, and in case you didn’t get it, that was a joke.
Or was it (like Senator Kerry’s supposed bon mot) sarcasm? Either way, I guess it beats calling it another flip-flop (“I was going to announce my VP before I wasn’t going to…”)

Apparently Arnold is as ignorant about the “assault weapons” ban as many others. But it probably won’t hurt him much in California.
In fact, supporting an extension of the ban, while having no practical effect, may give him cover to veto some of the loonier things that the legislature does in Sacramento (e.g., the ammunition tax, or the requirement to report gun ownership when renewing drivers license registration) without being called an NRA stooge.
Several years too late, George Tenet has resigned. Now, can we please get rid of Norm Mineta?
Now that a county can no longer have a cross as part of its official seal, it’s clearly just a matter of time before cities (and counties) like “El Pueblo de Nuestra Se
Apparently the building that houses the UN is as decrepit as the institution itself.
Sounds like a good excuse to give it a new HQ.
Perhaps in Paris, or Brussels.
With someone else’s money.
Senator Kerry displayed the middle digit to a fellow Vietnam veteran who disagreed with his post-service behavior.
In front of schoolchildren.
He also accused him (without basis, as far as I know) of being “a felon.”
[Update on Wednesday afternoon]
I’m going to amend this post to “Newsmax claims that Senator Kerry displayed…” since I can’t find any other sources for the story. I still don’t find it out of character, though.
[Wednesday evening followup]
Here’s some more on the story, but unfortunately, it’s still Newsmax.
I’m hearing that John Effing Kerry is going to accept the nomination at, of all strange places and times, the convention. What a weird world we live in, that this is big news.
Actually, I think that he declined to accept it there before he decided to accept it there. We’ll see how many times he changes his mind again between now and July.
And for those who didn’t see it via Glenn or other places, Mickey has a pretty funny (and vicious) take on this (no obvious permalink–look for the May 26th, 2004 posting if you’re reading this from the future).
Just when you thought that the Reform Party couldn’t get any more incoherent and lacking in principles of any variety, it endorses Ralph Nader. Recall that their last presidential candidate was Patrick J. Buchanan.
What a joke.
It’s good news for Bush, though–it will put Nader on the ballot in a lot of states he wouldn’t otherwise get.
Or it would be, if it had a chance of being enacted. I knew that Zell Miller had been talking about it, but I hadn’t realized that he has introduced a repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment.
