TODAY’S GRAFFITI CURRENCY
[Ozzy 4 ever]
Heh. I went to high school with a lot of guys like this. Now they're old enough to run for President...
I'm frightened.

JOY OF BLOGGING
Kevin of Wizbang took a little
time off and left his blog in the hands of anyone who wanted to
guest-post. One of the guest-posters, (looks like it was Irritable Blog Syndrome) takes a late bite out of the Pretentious Twit/Twat apple.
There are really too many good lines to pick out the money quote, but I
especially enjoyed the observations in the last paragraph, although the
stuff before that is good, too and I recommend reading the whole thing.
Finally, we have a medium that
relegates the first impression back to the void whence it came.
Blogging has turned housewives and truckers into respected pundits,
lawyers into comedians, and doctors and bankers into satirists.
Pretentious twits? I think not. Blogging is the revolution of real-time
credibility. It is the new Renaissance and like those of the original,
we'll be fact checking your ass.
Ok, maybe I'm biased on liking this because I'm one of those
banker-satirists, but I also wanna give him bonus points for coining
the phrase "zombie meme" in his intro.

YEAH, THAT WOULD FALL INTO THE "LIE" CATEGORY
AP Headline: "Laura Bush Says Gay Marriage 'Shocking'"
Teresa of Technicalities goes on to quote what she ACTUALLY said, and it's barely in the same ballpark.
Someone at AP really needs to have Bitey the Possum lock teeth through his scrotum until he can learn how to write headlines properly.

ON KERRY
Matty O'Blackfive has a lot to say about whether John Kerry earned his medals. Mike the Marine also has some thoughts on the arbitrary & capricious manner in which military medals are handed out.
My personal opinion is that 30-year old medals aren't the issue, character is. And on John Kerry's character, Matt says this:
I don't care for John Kerry at
all. I personally think that he disgraced the military by his actions.
I also believe that, by protesting the war in the manner in which he
chose, he had a part in helping us lose the war, lose lives, and
setting us back in the Cold War. I believe him to be a crook,
duplicitious and conniving. I don't believe that he served the citizens
of this country (let alone Massachusets) well. I certainly don't
believe that he should be a Senator - let alone President. I would
never shake John Kerry's hand.
I second that emotion.
