Day: October 15, 2004

Just read Joel Mowbray’s column. He details lies sKerry used in Wednesday’s debate. An example (one of many):

Repeating a populist—and untrue—line from his stump speeches, Kerry said, “The jobs the president is creating pay $9,000 less than the jobs that we’re losing.” This sounds like a devastating indictment, and it plays right into the urban legend that disappearing manufacturing jobs are replaced by burger-flippers. According to the nonpartisan FactCheck.org, “Higher-paid occupations, like managers (who can be in any industry) and health professionals, are growing faster.” This claim is largely based on Federal Reserve of Chicago study released last month.

As Charles Krauthammer said of Edwards, “There is absolutely nothing the man will not say to get elected,” so, too, with sKerry. Any lie is acceptable to him, as long as it serves his short-term ends. (BTW, read the Krauthammer piece, too. WOW! Is Krauthammer rigtheously angry or what?)

Matthew 11:7-9

7 As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

8 “But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

9 “But what did you go out to see? A prophet

It’s probably just early oldtimers’ disease… These kindsa posts will just have to stand in, for a while, for better organization.

I thought it’d be a service to include a few acronyms, abbreviations, etc., somewhere, so I’ll start this post off and edit it from time to time, linking to it when I use an acronym that might be less than widely used.

A couple to start, then I’ll just come back whenever it suits, until I discover a better way to do it within the parameters of this free blog format.
