One of the things that annoys me about the Bush administration: We are forever "almost there" - whether it's the turning point in the war in Iraq, the economy, or - you name it. I drew this up back in 2004 when the economy and the job market were at best a mixed bag of indicators. Today in 2007, the market is reeling from defaults on mortgages in the sub-prime sector. Brought on no doubt in part by over-selling of ARMs and other perhaps unscrupulous lending practices, but also in part because the improving economy isn't reaching everyone. I'm sorry, but the rising tide just doesn't lift all boats.
Sorry, but I see "Intelligent Design" and "irreducible Complexity" concepts as rather flimsy arguments from a scientific perspective. Not following any sort of scientific method that I can see, they look more like an attempt to masquerade religious explanations on the origin of life as a valid scientific theory. So far, the theory of evolution is the best thing we've got going.
A poke at Dan Rather and CBS's 'thorough 2004 investigations' into 'authentic' proof of George W. Bush's service - or lack thereof - in the National Guard. Very sloppy work on the part of CBS, methinks. What must Walter Cronkite think?
John Kerry covers Bill Clinton's greatest hits in karaoki - something I drew up back when John Kerry was running for the 2004 Democratic nomination and trying to point out how much better things were with a Democrat in the Whitehouse. Personally, I found that I liked John Kerry much better after the election was over than during the race. The same was true for Bob Dole in 1996.
