Referenced from The
Note, check out The
Bush Chronology (pdf document – need acrobat reader). Biased but not opinionated,
and all too true, timeline of Dubyah’s Doings.
I’m feeling better today, thanks to Dr. Charmers (not a pun; that’s really my
doctor’s – fitting – name!).
Here’s
a well-versed, and unfortunately dead-on, article about Bush Jr’s advantages over
his father – why he’ll likely get reelected where daddy failed.
Haven’t had a chance to take pix of some great new work from the studio yet, which
I am thinking of adding to The
Blair Bush Project. This week, I hope. You’ll like it.
Super-duper big ups to Howard
Dean this week! I was wondering if he would play up, or play down, his civil
unions law (giving the same rights to gay partnerships as straight, married couples
in Vermont) in his race for the presidency. This
article explains it all – his actions, and responses from most other hopefuls.
I’m hoping the gay vote (and usual non-voters who might make it out to the polls
just for Dean) will balance
out the backlash of Republicans’ votes against equal rights. Honestly, I doubt
it, but Dean moved up
yet another notch in my book. Regardless of whether or not they balance, Dean
has lately been looked at as someone whose campaign is lost with "Mr. Hussein"
now out of the picture, since his antiwar stance was what put him in the spotlight
in the first place. The anniversary of his signing the civil unions law, in direct
contrast to Senator
Rick Santorum’s recent remarks (can you believe this guy? What a Neanderthal!),
is getting him back in the press. "I want my country back!"
Juxtapose something arty here, to contrast with politics.
My take: the only way to beat Bush in the 2004 election is to put him up against
a solid Democrat (Dean,
Edwards or Kucinich).
Then we’ll get some voters out. The problem: most Dems that go to the primaries,
which decide which Dem is going to be on the bill, are fairly moderate, and will
likely put a more middle-based Dem against Bush (like Kerry
or Lieberman). Mark my
words, they’re gonna lose. And besides, they suck.
Enjoy your weekend!
