Several years too late, George Tenet has resigned. Now, can we please get rid of Norm Mineta?

Now that a county can no longer have a cross as part of its official seal, it’s clearly just a matter of time before cities (and counties) like “El Pueblo de Nuestra Se

Apparently the building that houses the UN is as decrepit as the institution itself.

Sounds like a good excuse to give it a new HQ.

Perhaps in Paris, or Brussels.

With someone else’s money.

Senator Kerry displayed the middle digit to a fellow Vietnam veteran who disagreed with his post-service behavior.

In front of schoolchildren.

He also accused him (without basis, as far as I know) of being “a felon.”

I’m going to amend this post to “Newsmax claims that Senator Kerry displayed…” since I can’t find any other sources for the story. I still don’t find it out of character, though.

[Wednesday evening followup]

Here’s some more on the story, but unfortunately, it’s still Newsmax.

I’m hearing that John Effing Kerry is going to accept the nomination at, of all strange places and times, the convention. What a weird world we live in, that this is big news.

Actually, I think that he declined to accept it there before he decided to accept it there. We’ll see how many times he changes his mind again between now and July.

And for those who didn’t see it via Glenn or other places, Mickey has a pretty funny (and vicious) take on this (no obvious permalink–look for the May 26th, 2004 posting if you’re reading this from the future).

Just when you thought that the Reform Party couldn’t get any more incoherent and lacking in principles of any variety, it endorses Ralph Nader. Recall that their last presidential candidate was Patrick J. Buchanan.

What a joke.

It’s good news for Bush, though–it will put Nader on the ballot in a lot of states he wouldn’t otherwise get.

Or it would be, if it had a chance of being enacted. I knew that Zell Miller had been talking about it, but I hadn’t realized that he has introduced a repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment.

Let’s get this straight. The Ketchup Queen can call Dick Cheney unpatriotic, but no one’s allowed to criticize her?

And note that the Reuters reporter can’t be bothered to point out Theresa’s slander.

Andrew, Pete Knight certainly deserves to be recognized as a pilot and a space pioneer, but he was also a very controversial political figure in California. He was the driving force behind the legislation to keep gay marriage illegal (the law that the San Francisco mayor was flouting earlier this year), and he was regularly denounced by the left as a rabid right-wing homophobe (I don’t know to what degree that’s true, but considering the sources of much of the criticism, I’m inclined to think that he wasn’t as much of a neanderthal as his political enemies made him out to be).

Hot off the press, the New York Times says that Europeans don’t like Bush very much. Frankly, reading this article just makes me even more inclined to vote for him, just to cheese them off.
