you ave (thats prolly one level too obscure - it was sposed to be a uav / 'ave maria' thing)

* btw - when i say stuff like 'i try to ignore the mary thing' - im not trying to be a pratt - its just that many of those type of things seem to be a distraction. (im not denying i am a pratt. ftr.)

* " Sen. John Kerry, bracing for a potential fight over election results, will not hesitate to declare victory Nov. 2 and defend it, advisers say. He also will be prepared to name a national security team before knowing whether he's secured the presidency." we are gonna have a contested presidency with competing security teams. how does this movie end?

* "Six so-called ``SWAT teams'' of lawyers and political operatives will be situated around the country with fueled-up jets awaiting Kerry's orders to speed to a battleground state." jesus x. what sort of battle do we have on our minds given that the jets are 'fueled-up'? "... with plans so detailed they include the number of staplers and coffee machines needed to mount legal challenges." this is the ap! boy are we gonna have a fight. i dont know how to win it. prolly not by means that lawyers can conceive. "we have 10,000 lawyers" they have 5 judges.

* "For reasons known only to America's leading conservative thinkers, it is far more offensive to utter an inconsequential truth than to tell a long series of important falsehoods." http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?itemid=17909

* " A conservative U.S. lawyer's attempt to enlist the Vatican (news - web sites) in his drive to declare Senator John Kerry (news - web sites) a heretic over his abortion views backfired Wednesday when the Vatican said it had been hoodwinked." will it ever stop? http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20041020/pl_nm/campaign_kerry_vatican_dc

* "walmart won't stock Jon Stewart's big best-seller, "America (The Book)," because one page shows nine naked bodies - with the heads of the Supreme Court justices pasted on them." just fukkin make it all fukking stop. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/244172p-209278c.html

* and i got a long-needed smile from this "Co-author Ben Karlin, executive producer of "The Daily Show," said he was also disappointed, adding, "We even have an American flag on the cover.""

* "Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was all smiles at a gathering of Italian-Americans — until the cameras came out." scalia loves free speech unless its his, and recorded. quack. your next supreem court judge. we are all screwed. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041021/ap_on_go_su_co/prickly_scalia_2

* "A new report released Monday by the nonpartisan watchdog group Public Citizen examines the security of our nation's nuclear and chemical plants, seaports, water supply systems, and transportation of hazardous materials. "The overall security picture reveals that the United States has made very little progress in the sectors that may put Americans most at risk," the study found. "In many cases, the administration and its Republican allies in Congress have either opposed security reforms or obstinately refused to act even though ready solutions are obvious."" http://www.thenation.com/blogs/outrage?bid=13&pid=1914

* bostonglobe "THE REPUBLICANS are out to steal the 2004 election -- before, during, and after Election Day... If the election ends up in the courts, all courts eventually lead to the Supreme Court, which, as we learned, can overrule state courts -- and pick the president... In addition, states are experimenting with a variety of new voting systems, to avoid a repeat of the technical glitches that made it easy for Republicans to steal Florida in 2000" ouch. they said steal. i dont think that people generally realise that is what happened. i http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2004/10/20/the_art_of_stealing_elections/

* "Sinclair , last April, refused to let its ABC stations carry a "Nightline" broadcast devoted to reading aloud the names of Americans killed in Iraq. Sinclair said that program "disguised political statements as news content."" i wish we lived in a world where things made at least some sense.
