Unhinged
I was afraid this was going to happen- the left has now become completely unhinged. Even though the later analysis proves him wrong, Ken Layne really, really likes the idea that every state that did not vote for Gore/Kerry is ‘Jesusland.’ His weblog has now turned into a 4 day screed, which hopefully has been fueled by tequila and sangria binges. I say hopefully, because I can exucse someone acting like a total asshole if they are drunk.
At any rate, some samples of deep thinking from Ken:
Sure, Jesusland is always for blowing up Arabs, but it’s not the kind of thing you think about all the time!
If you live in a red state, you are in favor of random murder- but only casually.
If you’re 14 years old and want to get high or get laid, your best bet is the Pastor’s Daughter, as every kid who ever visited Jesusland immediately learns. Who is Jenna Bush if not the National Pastor’s Daughter?
Hrmm. How pissed would Ken Layne be if George Bush, at a press conference, said: “Hey- if you want to get laid and you are in the Reno are, why not try Ken Layne’s wife? Everyone knows that liberal chicks are the easiest.”
Talking trash shit about the President’s daughter. Real edgy, Ken. Real classy, too.
Unless you are a particularly observant resident of Jesusland, you have no idea what they’re really up to out there, and why they’re so haunted by homosexuality.
Ahh, those stupid red staters. Not observant to really see what is going on in their own midst. It takes an out of state, guitar-playing, sometimes journalist, world traveler and bon vivant to really let you know the deal. Thanks, Ken, old buddy.
Ken- get a grip. You are embarassing yourself in public- please put your breast back in your dress.

Mandate
Please cut the nonsense, Democrats:
A New York Times reporter actually wrote “Mr. Bush no longer has to pretend that he possesses a clear electoral mandate. Because for the first time in his presidency, he can argue that he has the real thing.”
Wow. 51-48=mandate. They sure do lower the bar for jr.
First off, the vote is now 52-47%, so you could start by getting your facts straight. 52-47% of the vote is not a whopping majority by any sense of the imagination. However, taken in context, Bush has a clear mandate. he is the first President to win a clear majority of the popular vote since 1988. He gained 5 seats in the Senate. He gained seats in the house. The Republicans, once again, control the Executive and Legislative branches.
This is as clear a mandate as possible, particularly when you compare the majority vote and control of both houses to the plurality and loss of control of the Senate and House during the Clinton years.
*** Update ***
The numbers changed again. It is back to 51-48.
Kerry Equals Courage
I ahd to read this three times:
John Kerry didn’t want to get on his own campaign bus. It was just after Labor Day 2003, and the day before, Kerry had formally launched his candidacy with a forgettable speech, delivered while standing in front of an aircraft carrier in Charleston, S.C. Now, as he was preparing to leave a rally in Manchester, N.H., Kerry strongly objected to the slogan plastered on the side of the bus: COURAGE EQUALS KERRY. He was traveling with his Vietnam buddies, and combat veterans didn’t like advertising themselves that way, he protested. Real warriors
