---------------------- Kerry's "People's Peace Treaty" This is the "People's Peace Treaty" that John Kerry and the VVAW signed, and demanded that the US accept: Joint Treaty of Peace Between the People of The United States of America, South Vietnam and North Vietnam Preamble Be it known that the American people and the Vietnamese people ... [Little Green Footballs] The Iraqi people must be scared shitless right now.  They know that if Kerry wins Saddam will be restored to the throne the day after inauguration by the spineless traitor.  If I was Iraqi it would be total stress time from now till election.  CP 8:29:32 PM

------------------ You'll Have To Do Better, Senator Oh suuure. Riiight. Broadcast all of our intelligence before acting, for the entire world to see. That’s a fine strategic maneuver, not to mention a good way to get intelligence sources to dry up and to get troops killed. This man is dangerous! Of course, maybe, he’ll change his mind about this too.  [baldilocks] 8:12:18 PM

---------------------- If jobs are being offshored, why are housing prices out of control? Dan Gillmor, of the San Jose Mercury News, is asking "so why are home prices still rising here (here being in Silicon Valley)?" I believe jobs are being created. My brother-in-law, who was laid off for almost two years just got a job. I have seen a whole new cadre of workers (friends have gotten hired at Yahoo, eBay, Google, and Microsoft's office there). The traffic is getting worse, which tells me jobs are back. And, at the Demo conference recently, several VCs tell me that the valley's groove is back and deals are now flowing. So, what about offshoring? Well, this is at least the fourth time I've seen Silicon Valley get rid of jobs to make room for new, better ones. The reason the politicians don't know what to make of it is that they don't have the data yet. My brother-in-law was out of work so long that he was no longer being counted in unemployment statistics. And, they see jobs being sent overseas, but they can't go on TV and say "this is a good thing." That'd be politically stupid, even if it is. Now, make no mistakes. There are lots of people still out of work. My wife, for instance, is still struggling to get a job, despite lots of interviews. (Every job opening has hundreds of competitors, so it's hard to prove you're the best out of 200 -- she's made it to the final two or three several times). And I know lots of other people out of work too. It's a messy economy. No one will deny that. But the housing prices show that there are still lots of jobs out there and more coming.  [Scobleizer: Microsoft Geek Blogger] 3:45:28 PM

------------------ Why John Kerry Must Never Be President Jay Reding weighs in with a lengthy, well-written commentary. Go read the whole post. Kerry is a weak candidate on foreign affairs. His foreign policy is a simplistic negation of the Bush Administration's policy, his positions lack coherence, and he... [democrats give conservatives indigestion] 3:39:42 PM

--------------------------- It never stops............ I don't know whether to laugh or cry here. First, Bushmaster manufactures AR-15 rifles, which are semi-auto versions of the military M-16, not the Soviet AK-47. Second, while Bushmaster does make some "highly accurate" versions, most "military style" rifles are not known for their tack-driving accuracy, and I have yet to see any AK-47 that I'd call "accurate." Third, "almost a half-mile"??? A half mile is 880 yards. Maximum useful range of an accurized target AR-15 is 600 meters using specially loaded ammunition. Realistically it's a 300 meter rifle. But why let mere facts get in the way of a good fear-mongering?  [The Smallest Minority] 12:39:40 PM

----------------------- Nothing to see, move along Or, put more bluntly go away and let us get back to building our atomic bomb."We have two goals ahead of us that we must achieve - one is ending Iran's nuclear dossier with the IAEA board of governors. Iran's... The inspectors should be all over these Islamo-fascists like white on rice. Anyone associated with the IAEA that makes noises that sound like seriously considering leaving them to their own devices should be bitchslapped into last week, but probably won't be. And if the Mullochracy proceeds with their plan anyway, the 'research' facilities should just be taken out, and end that part of the discussion immediately. I'd rather listen to them whining and seething about how they were done wrong by the Great Satan, than to have to deal with a lot of pompous demands because they have a nuke. [Silent Running] 5:15:10 AM

--------------------- WaPo gets a clue....... A succession of well-publicized missteps by the news media in recent years -- from misrepresentation of facts and questionable reporting methods to outright fabrication and plagiarism -- has understandably shaken public trust in the media. The Washington Post, like several other large news organizations, has responded by reviewing our policies on accuracy, fairness and our relationships with news sources and readers. I wonder if blogs might have had a small part in this?  I wonder if the Times will follow?  Naw!  CP 4:44:40 AM
