i have a bad dream

* brooks on newshour about kerry flipflopping about the war 'its easy to be on the right side now'!

* speaking of brooks, in light of the current cadmin draft denials, and in light of his recent article/setups, remember all those articles he wrote where the answer to woteva '2 types of people' issue, was always 'the draft'.

* "From a podium at the Great Hall in Parliament House, Latham delivered what's become a traditional election-eve address to the National Press Club. The Labor leader's prepared speech ran to 29 pages and lasted 29 minutes. And how many times was Iraq mentioned? Not once. Zero. Zilch.... Latham avoided the war during his speech, and when, in the second of 19 questions, he was invited to speak on the subject, the Labor leader restricted his answer -- an affirmation of troops home by Christmas -- to four seconds.... Just as odd is the Government's parallel silence." i dont know what it means. odd tho. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,10993781%255E12854,00.html

* "Republicans say film-maker Michael Moore should be prosecuted for offering underwear, potato chips and ramen noodles to college students in exchange for their promise to vote." apparently the repugs dont like bribery. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,10995585%255E2703,00.html

* "Australian National University social policy analyst Andrew Leigh's report on the 2002 federal election concluded that Centrebet odds were more reliable than opinion polls at predicting election outcomes." fancy that. money talks. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,10993888%255E643,00.html

* "When the federal government issues a terrorist warning, presidential approval ratings jump, a Cornell University sociologist finds. Interestingly, terrorist warnings also boost support for the president on issues that are largely irrelevant to terrorism, such as his handling of the economy." one might imagine that terrorist attacks, rather than warnings, would magnify the impact... http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases/Oct04/terrorist.Bush.ssl.html

* if 43 was a doctor, would we call him W-MD?

* i think i just heard 43 saying 'if the Coalition doesnt meet the 'global test' then nothing will'

* the thing about the cheney 'first meeting' comment

* re 'this is the 1st time ive met u', yesterday i said ' they prepared the line. they must have known it was wrong.' - but they are even smarter than using it just to deliver a triffic line - they are getting full media coverage on it today - gotcha! 'see everyone, cheney is a liar - he *has* met edwards' blah blah. and that 'mistake' gets more time than all the other lies - like when cheney said 'im a human'
