Just for your info, every incumbent president has been re-elected if the Browns had the bye the weekend before the election.

MEMRI has just released it’s analysis of Osama Bin Laden’s latest video tape. Go read it here.

Suprisingly, enough MEMRI says one of the same things that I did, most noteably this:

Another conspicuous aspect of the tape is the absence of common Islamist themes that are relevant to the month of Ramadan, which for fundamentalists like bin Laden is the month of Jihad and martyrdom

Okay, so enough gloating on my part…let’s move on…

Going over MEMRI’s analysis, it apears as if Bin Laden has channeled more of Michael Moore’s rhetoric… (more…)

From today’s Boston Herald
BostonHerald.com – Election 2004 Coverage: Schilling makes pitch on behalf of president

Apparently Curt Schilling doesn’t regret his endorsement of President Bush after all: The Sox hero has recorded automatedphone calls backing Bush that will be made until Election Day.

That’s very cool, and a smart campaign move. I personally am still in awe of what Shilling pulled off in the ALCS with his ankle being in the conditioin that it was and all. That’s what the playoffs are all about.

Chris Heinz speaks out

If you didn’t think the campaign had hit the gutter yet….doesn’t this convince you?

I hate it when we have to change the clocks?

That is to say, I like getting an extra hour of sleep and all in the fall, but the thing is, my brain and body don’t like having its circadian rhythms shifted around…and consequently throws me for a loop over the course of a couple of days….ugh…
