Its Good to be in DC; Hooray! Hooray!

For those of you who don't get a chance to see the Today Show or the Tonight Show, Jibjab is at it again. This time they have a cartoon using the tune of Dixie to insult the candidates while encouraging people to go vote. In a portion that should be very amusing to Mrs. X, the Supreme Court gets a line where they threaten to decide the election again. The governor of New Jersey also gets really ribbed with his disclosure of being gay (although if it allowed for the John Ashcroft gay joke, its worth it). All in all, its very funny. Not quite as good as This Land, but still very funny.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, things are getting even tighter. Its gotten so bad that there have been accusations that the Democrats have encouraged the militant wing of the unions (ie. the Mob) to persuade people not to vote. This may be a bit out of line, but there have been a number of break-ins and assaults on Bush-Cheney headquarters. During one of the debates, an office was shot at while people were inside watching the event. No one was hurt, but it does tell you that things are getting a wee bit serious.

Mr. Kerry has done well to present himself well in the debates, but he has made a couple of serious missteps in terms of soundbites that we can expect Mr. Bush to hammer into the ground. He's gotten some good mileage out of "global test" and now he's working on "terrorism down to a nuisance." Mrs. X and I both understand this statement and we think that its probably a reasonably accurate one along with Bush's "we probably can't win the War on Terror" but its not what people want to hear. So its back to acting like 3 year olds.

Also, for you sports people, its Boston Red Sox vs. NY Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals vs. Houston Astros. My personal hope is that we'll get Boston vs. St. Louis, but if we repeat last year's results of what I wanted, we'll get Yankees vs. Astros. If we do, maybe we can at least have Roger Clemens and Andy Pettite give the Yankees one last F*** You. Should be fun.

YANKEES SUCK!!
