Since I've started blogging, I've been reading a lot more about other people's blogs. Here's a very interesting story, which is a perfect example of why I'll be sticking to movies and music and not writing about my dates.
I also wanted to share this quote with everyone. As our president, the man who the rest of the world sees as the face of this country, was signing the latest $417 billion defense-spending bill, he had this to say:
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
Seriously, does W. ever think about what he's saying before he opens his mouth? I can't help reading this and hearing Will Ferrell's voice. It is a testament to the monumental mediocrity of John Kerry that he's not crushing Bush in the polls.
I saw the update of The Manchurian Candidate with Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep, and all I can say is, save your money. Rent the original on DVD, because there's nothing better about the new one.

I think the fact that Kerry has made such a huge deal out of his military service instead of his Senate career is hurting him. Especially when veterans and current military do not seem to be clicking with Kerry (see this article: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040818/480/ohdk10308181644)
Yeah, except that the Washington Post hasdiscovered documents discrediting the story of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. And when your opponent has no war record to speak of, and the country is embroiled in an unpopular war, I don't think it's a bad idea to play up your military experience.
