vote girly, vote often

* editorial 43 endorsement: "The ownership of this newspaper believes it is important for us to express our voice and will use its privilege to unequivocally endorse George W. Bush for a second-term as president of the United States." lol http://www.thevictoriaadvocate.com/opinion/editorials/story/2278858p-2641208c.html

* krug interview "You feel like people are noticing the nakedness of the emperor—finally—but either just at the last minute or maybe not quite in time." http://www.mollyivins.com/showArticle.asp?ArticleID=1777

* ""It's difficult to describe 'sense of control' in terms of insurgent activity," said Capt. Eric Dougherty, the commander of Company E, which lost four men in the first six weeks here. "The insurgent activity is everywhere. It's at our firm bases here. It's among women and children, those cowards.""
in bizarro land, its good that afghani women are apparently allowed to vote, but iraqi women are cowards. or the men are cowards. and the amarmy has chix. go figger. (separately, ramadi is toast)

* *"In late September, insurgents began blowing up whole buildings downtown, videotaping the demolitions and giving the tapes to Arab television networks to attribute blame to American airstrikes, Marine officers said."

* eminem is toast. i actually predicted that he'd get sterned waybackwhen. looks like he signed the warrant himself "If I get sniped tonight you know why, Cause I told you to fight." its a shame it didnt come out a week ago.

* ive been noticing in the nyt that the stories seem to now have like 4 writers or something. was it always thus? "James Glanz reported from Baghdad for this article and Jim Dwyer from New York. Ali Adeeb contributed reporting from Baghdad, and Khalid W. Hussein and Zainab Obeid fromAl Qaqaa." i dont know what it means. prolly nuthin. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/28/international/middleeast/28bomb.html

* "Pentagon officials said Wednesday that analysts were examining surveillance photographs of the munitions site. But they expressed doubts that the photographs, which showed vehicles at the location on several occasions early in the conflict, before American troops moved through the area, would be able to indicate conclusively when the explosives were removed."?

* i took a trip down memory lane back to my 'october surprise' discussion from march. ftr - i picked a mininuke in vegas for today. http://www.unknownnews.net/040403d30lr.html (as an aside, i also wrote " if rove is so smart, it would make sense for him to preempt some of the damage -- and get it outta the way 6 months in advance. the awol brouhaha has been dismissed before, itll prolly come out again, so why not bring it to the fore now." - which is kinda funny given the rathergate thing)

* "The video (Mosh) premiered Monday on the Guerrilla News Network website and was directed by Ian Inaba, a Berkeley-based contributor to the website. It hit MTV on Tuesday, and as of Wednesday afternoon the channel's website listed it as No. 1 on its chart of hot videos." is mtv really playing it?? its not quite apparent from the language. http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/2004/la-na-mosh28oct28,0,7423987.story?coll=la-home-headlines
