Keys to the Game - Oct. 2 Purdue vs. Notre Dame

Conclusion:  College football seasons just seem to be more exciting when the Irish are good.  They put together the whole package against Washington and are as hot as Marisa Miller (think swimsuit model) in a two-piece at this current moment. But, on the flipside, so is this Purdue offense. Orton is s-s-s-s-smoking and he’s got to be licking his chops at the ‘free’ publicity his Heisman campaign gets with a national television audience.  However, he’s not faced a defense as skilled or disciplined as the one he’ll face Saturday.  If the Irish tackle well and the O line can ‘lay’ on the Purdue defensive front seven, the Irish are going to 4 and 1. Notre Dame – 34 vs. Purdue - 30

Disney taps communist group to reach young Chinese

Disney's recipe for success: take a couple billion people brainwash with pictures of Mickey Mouse and Buzz Lightyear and the crush their free will, repeat.

Disney and China have a lot in common. They both have secret police forces. They both have secret chambers where they keep dissidents. They both oppress the workingman. They both have dwarves that dig for all their diamonds.

I mean the only thing that America and Disney still have in common is that we both hate the French.

Truman may be remembered as the president who lost China to the communists but Bush will be remembered as the president who lost China to Donald Duck.

Yahoo! News - Bush Twists Kerry's Words on Iraq

He stated flatly that Kerry had said earlier in the week "he would prefer the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein to the situation in Iraq today." The line drew gasps of surprise from Bush's audience in a Racine, Wis., park. "I just strongly disagree," the president said.

Gasps? What was talking to a bunch of two year olds.

Campaign 2004's Jedi Mind Tricks

Perhaps the best way to understand Campaign 2004 is to think of the Jedi Mind Trick from the Star War movies, a wave of the hand and a hypnotically suggestive phrase make the feeble-minded miss the obvious. “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for,” Obi-Wan Kenobe tells storm troopers who are looking for precisely those droids.

In Campaign 2004, it’s as if George W. Bush’s campaign has mastered the same trick, applying it to much of the national news media and to many voters: “John Kerry is not the candidate you’re looking for.”

MSNBC - 'Scarborough Country' for Sept. 8

I posted the whole transcript, but this one part really got me going. (Note: Scarborough is really jerk but sometimes I like to watch to get my heart rate going it's better than exercise.)

TERRY JEFFREY, EDITOR, “HUMAN EVENTS”:  Well, I think it was a good thing for the vice president to climb back down from that statement, Joe.

I think there‘s underlying legitimate issue.  It‘s really the basic question of the campaign, which Mike Barnicle, I think, alluded to before the break, which is that the major problem for the country is going to be national security in the years ahead, particularly the threat of terrorism.  The American people really have to decide which one of these two candidates, George Bush or John Kerry, is going to do a better job at dealing with the threat of terrorism. 

And I think we have to understand that neither of these candidates can probably perfectly insulate the United States from a future terrorist attack.  Although I am a conservative, I do not believe that George Bush really in all areas is doing everything necessary to protect—prevent potential terrorist attacks. 

For example, the column I filed today, Joe, talks about the fact that the U.S. State Department last month in Mexico put out a media bulletin saying that a suspected al Qaeda terrorist, Adnan Shukrijumah, might try and cross the border into Arizona or Texas.  And it‘s not clear to me that the Bush administration has done enough to secure our southern border against penetration by terrorists. 

SCARBOROUGH:  And why aren‘t they doing that, Terry? 

JEFFREY:  I think because, for one, they believe it‘s politically incorrect.  No. 2, it‘s no secret that the Bush administration has been trying to reach out to the Latino vote, which is a good thing.  I think the Republican Party should expand its base.  I think there‘s an opportunity because of shared values between conservatives and the Latino community to bring them into the Republican Party.

But I think it‘s wrong for the president of the United States not to see the urgency in defending our southern border in the years after 9/11, when now we know even our government believes there‘s a vulnerability there of terrorists coming across.  So I think it was unwise what Dick Cheney said yesterday, although I think the debate really in the election is which candidate, Bush or Kerry, will better defend us in the years ahead. 

This guy is admitting that Bush will put our nation's security at risk when it is politically advantageous to do so. How is there any debate as to who will protect this country better. The whole transcript follows.

The situation in Iraq as seen at ground level.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping in. I'm Christopher Allbritton, former AP and New York Daily News reporter. In 2002, I went stumbling around Iraqi Kurdistan, the northern part of Iraq outside Saddam's direct control, looking for stories. (Some might call it "looking for trouble.") In March 2003, I made it back in time for the war, becoming the Web's first fully reader-funded journalist-blogger. With the support of thousands of readers, we raised almost $15,000. You can read my dispatches here. It was one of the moments in journalism when everything worked. It was a grand -- and successful -- experiment in independent journalism.

Now I'm back in Iraq for the third time, and this time, I've effectively moved to Baghdad. It's a raucous, scary and exciting place with a lot of news going on. I report for a variety of outlets including Time Magazine and others. If you care to donate to support Back-to-Iraq.com, you'll be placed on a "premium" mailing list that I'll try to get special dispatches out to you that either don't appear on the Web site, or appear days early. When I get some more photographs, I'll try to send those out on the listserv as well.

Thanks for reading!

The "ownership society" did better under Clinton

In the last few days, Republicans have talked up a storm about rising home ownership rates under the Bush administration. Bush was half right when he said in his acceptance speech that, "thanks to our policies, home ownership in America is at an all-time high."

While it's true that the percentage of Americans who own their own homes (69.2%) is at a record high, it's hard to attribute that to the current Republican leadership -- the rate has increased every year since 1993, and in fact, grew faster on average during the Clinton administration.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, When Clinton came into office, homeownership stood at 63.7%. Clinton left office with home ownership up 3.8% to 67.5%. Under Bush, it's gone up 1.7%.

In fact, since the mid 1960s, home ownership has typically gone up no matter who's in office, though a couple of presidents -- both Republican -- proved an exception: During the 12 years Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush were in office, ownership rates dropped 1.2%. Salon.com Politics: "The 'ownership society' did better under Clinton
