- Seeing Bill Clinton campaigning today made me realize how bad Dubya really is. Hopefully, we won't be seeing much more of him, Dubya that is. I am watching the "Jesus Factor" right now. Why isn't it an issue that Dubya was a drunk? If Kerry had been a drunk, it would have been a big deal. |

- One of the memes percolating on those Other Blogs these days is the notion that us foreign types shouldn't be commenting on the American election. I myself, the soul of gentility and erudite discourse, was upbraided in no uncertain terms on this matter by a gentleman from Astoria.
