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.
Andrew, Pete Knight certainly deserves to be recognized as a pilot and a space pioneer, but he was also a very controversial political figure in California. He was the driving force behind the legislation to keep gay marriage illegal (the law that the San Francisco mayor was flouting earlier this year), and he was regularly denounced by the left as a rabid right-wing homophobe (I don’t know to what degree that’s true, but considering the sources of much of the criticism, I’m inclined to think that he wasn’t as much of a neanderthal as his political enemies made him out to be).
Hot off the press, the New York Times says that Europeans don’t like Bush very much. Frankly, reading this article just makes me even more inclined to vote for him, just to cheese them off.

Kerry’s SUV flip flopping gets worse than denying that he’s part of his own family. He apparently told a New Hampshire audience that he sold them all, when he didn’t. This wasn’t nuance, or Clintonizing. It was a lie (and that’s not a word I use lightly).
