Dean supporters probably won’t like this website.
Also, via Drudge, we see that the “Issues” area of Clark’s website is empty. Hehe.

THat Hot Air Isn’t Coming From the Hurricane
For the laugh of the week, we visit Juan Cole (no relation):
For all those on the U.S. East Coast inconvenienced or endangered by the hurricane season, you should be aware that George W. Bush’s gutting of the Kyoto Protocol and his opposition to practical measures to stop global warming have the potential to cause mega-hurricanes in the future. Hurricanes are caused by warm ocean water. The warmer the water, and the less cool water in surrounding areas, the worse the hurricane. Global warming makes the Atlantic and the Carribean warmer, and far more dangerous in the late summer. Bush’s promotion of global warming may help provoke enormous, furious hurricanes that denude Carribean islands and endanger the lives and property of most Floridians in particular.
When you stop laughing, begin to worry. This was not an Onion piece. Does this mean the DNC should be actively rooting for hurricanes to strike the east coast next year, so they can unleash a ‘storm’ of negative commercials about Bush and the environment?

What A Coincidence
Yesterday I agreed with Calpundit twice. Today I find myself in total agreement with Barbra Streisand:
Barbra Streisand says she finds listening to her own songs is so boring that it was one of the reasons she gave up public performing three years ago.
I find her songs so boring I can’t listen to them either.
Drum is Right Again
Kevin Drum notes that the cornerstones of the Dean campaign are, as I have been saying, anger and arrogance. He doesn’t use those words, but that is the gist of the post.
Twice in one day Calpundit and I completely agree on something. Call technorati, or guiness, or someone.
Cameras in the Courtroom
Anyone who has ever wondered why some people are agaist cameras in the courtroom should be on the look-out for a replay of the California Recall case on C-Span tonight or this week. I caught it live this afternoon, and the incessant mugging of Judge Alex Kozinski (A Reagan appointee) during the latter portion of the testimony. I missed the first part, so I am sure there were others hamming it up, but I just wanted to smack Kozinski before the hearing was over.
Alternatives at the Polling Station
I mentioned in private correspondence to someone that I probably won’t vote for Bush in the next election. That was probably an overstatement- a more accurate reflection of my opinion right now is that I would rather not vote for Bush in 2004. I am not alone.
It is also important to point out that I, like many of those people mentioned in the previously vited poll, would rather vote for Bush than any of the Democrats currently running. I am not going to sit here and list all the things that the Bush administration has done to piss me off (if I wanted this post to be widely linked by lefty websites I would use half sentences with small words and just make comments like “Bush sucks” or “Bush = Hitler”), but the Democrat field is amazing- it is as if they have decided to be wrong about all the issues I think Bush is wrong about, and then to create some of their own issues to piss me off.
I don’t want this enormous Bush deficit- but can anyone tell me with a straight face that the Democrats would spend less. Please. They are savaging domestic spending- which has risen enormously in the last 3 years- and they claim Bush has not spent enough times on Domestiv affairs- Snicker.
Do I really think I can trust the Democrats on national defense? Hell- half of the candidates voted against Iraq, half voted for and wished they hadn’t, and all of them act like we are losing and there ‘is no plan.’ It is enough to make you laugh at them. The only reason one candidate is running is because he was a general, and he is the only candidate who can’t make up his damned mind about Iraq (and he is also turning out to be a pathological liar– by any of Kevin Drum’s standards).
At any rate, there is simply no alternative- you get the ten dwarves, or you get Bush/Cheney. Is this the best our country can do? Oliver rightly chides the Green party for their firm grasp of the American voting public- they are tring to decide between Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney. Yeehaw!
The Libertarian candidate will probably look like this guy:
All the Libertarians are drinking colloidal silver, hiding in bunkers in the Montana prairie, or up late at night sharing their alien abduction stories with George Noory and Art Bell.
I guess there is no real point to this post except that I find it amazing that the Democrats can’t do better than the 10 buffoons they have running. What about Zell Miller? What about Sam Nunn? Why nothing but Clinton hacks, union men, trial lawyers, and race baiters?
