I think it’s official. Whatever was making Bush so happy has worn off. ---

Bush’s cranial hard drive seems to be encountering some bad blocks…stuttering and fumbling for the right words… he also seems to be “coming down” a bit… ---

Okay, please tell me I’m not the only one who’s noticing the wacky camera action. They are definately showing Bush closer up. Look at the shoulders and the heads. Everytime Kerry looks taller from shifting, the camera on Bush shifts up noticeably. ---

WTF? Is Bush playing our little drinking game? What was he going on about-new technology and horses and buggies? What’s that thing on the corner of his mouth? It looks like he’s chewing on a toothpick. 😕 ---

I guess it’s not spit. Spit would be fluctuating and flowing and glistening and dripping. Maybe it’s a cold sore. Or some traces of Valium. ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > There is no such thing as partial-birth abortion and the procedures which do exist are not remotely “brutal,” they are as safe as they can be. Um…when people say they’re “brutal” they’re not talking about the effect on the woman having the procedure, they mean for the being that the procedure eliminates. It’s hard for something to be safe for you if it leads to having your brain sucked out. which is why I declined a lobotomy that’d allow me to vote for Kerry.
