SATURDAY READING ASSIGNMENTS

I think Victor Davis Hanson is one of the best pundits out there, and he says that there is a good chance that no matter what Kerry says or does in the final two weeks of this election - barring some major catastrophe in Iraq, a presidential gaffe, or massive voting irregularity - he will lose.

A great read from Charles Krauthammer.  He says that the only way Kerry would be able to get the Europe to help us in the Middle East is to cave in to Europe and the Arab world on Israel.  In spite of this, the majority of America's Jewish vote will go to Kerry on November 2nd.  Go figure.

Kerry threatened, and Sinclair Broadcast Group caved.  So much for freedom of the press.  You need to be concerned -- no, you need to be deeply worried by the fact that the vast majority of Americans get their daily dose of news and information from agencies that are licensed to operate by the federal government.  That's why Sinclair paid attention to Kerry's veiled threat.

 

THANKS STAMFORD AND NORWALK!

Belinda and I traveled to Stamford, CT yesterday to meet with our listeners in the Stamford and Norwalk areas at a "Dinner with Boortz" event! We want to thank the folks at Cox Radio's WSTC and WNLK for their kindness and for providing us with a broadcast location this morning. Last night's dinner was great and the people we met were fantastic. I don't think we talked to enough people though to swing Connecticut away from The Poodle ... not that we didn't try.

OHIO

I note this morning that recent polls of registered voters show Kerry with a rather significant lead in Ohio, one of the battleground states. Ohio has a depressed manufacturing economy. Somehow this is George Bush's fault. It doesn't matter that the recession started during Clinton's watch. The collapse of the dot.com economy is not to be considered in the equation, and the terrorist attacks of 9/11 play no role. It's all Bush's fault.

This is harsh language, but accurate. What we have in Ohio is a significant portion of the electorate that cannot accept any personal responsibility for their current job situation. It is not their fault that they settled into a manufacturing job that any observer of the job market could have told them 15 or 20 years ago was fragile. Somehow in this world of advancing technology they thought that there was some great cosmic force out there that guaranteed them a job for life.

Bottom line: These Kerry voters in Ohio have placed their job status above the security and the sovereignty of this nation. "Me first ... then the future of this country." Nice going.

I'VE FINALLY FIGURED OUT ....

.... Just what it is about that Bank of America television commercial that bothers me so much. You know the one ... this woman and her husband are unpacking in their new home. She has obviously been to the local bank to open an account. She regales her husband with the story of her conversation with the bank. She wants free checking with no minimum balance. She wants free this, that and the other thing .... And she wants all of these things free "because I don't believe I should pay for any of it."

This woman represents the attitude of so many Americans. It doesn't matter whether or not some service actually costs anything to provide ... they not only want it free, they believe that they deserve it free! I'm surprised this woman doesn't say that the government ought to force the bank to give her the goodies she believe she so richly deserves.

A GOVERNMENT TAKE OVER?

Some so-called "experts" are saying that the government ought to take over the production of flu shots. Yeah ... that's it. Government comes along and contributes to a problem with price controls and irrational regulation, and the solution to the resulting problem is a government takeover. How do you feel confident about the future of the free market when government is allowed to create a problem in the marketplace, and then tout itself as the solution?

AL GORE'S 2004 SOUR GRAPES TOUR

Former Vice President Al Gore cannot let the 2000 election go.  This is a bitter man...and apparently he is going to carry a chip on his shoulder for the rest of his life.  That's too bad, but it's his choice.  Gore's latest pursuit is to stump in Florida for The Poodle.

Now you know exactly what Gore is going to do.  He will go around telling anyone that will listen that the Republicans stole the election in 2000, and we're not going to let them get away with it this time.  He will continue to repeat the lie and advance the myth that every vote was not counted.  He will give insane speeches in which his face turns 3 shades of red while he bangs on the podium.  It's the standard Al Gore presentation these days.

And yet, the media will let all of this go unchecked.  The media also accepts the lies spoon-fed to them by the DNC, which include:

  • George Bush was "selected," and not elected (despite the fact that he won the election and has won every recount)
  • Voters were "disenfranchised."  Nothing of the sort happened...they're talking about the famous butterfly ballot....designed by a Democrat.
  • George Bush stole the election.  Actually, it was the other way around.  It was Gore who tried to steal the election by trying to selectively recount heavily Democratic counties in a vote-hunting scheme.
The more the myths are repeated by the left, the more accepted they become by the media.  At the end of the day, however, Al Gore remains a bitter man consumed by his close defeat 4 years ago.  You know, all he had to do was win his home state.  He has no one to blame but himself.

BILL CLINTON, HEAD OF U.N.?

This is just great.  Which is worse, Kofi Annan heading up the United Nations, or Former President Bill Clinton?  I guess maybe the United States would be better off with Clinton running this worthless organization.  So how is all of this coming to pass?

The term of the current U.N. Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, expires in 2006.  According to "insiders" (whoever that is) Clinton has the support to get the gig, including among the third world.  The wire service UPI is reporting that Clinton wants to do it. 

Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea...after all, the United States throws the majority of the money down the United Nations rathole...maybe this would give us some say in how the place is run.  Then again, if Clinton were to run the UN the way he ran his presidency, it could be more of the same.

Wonder why he wants the job so bad?  Maybe that place is crawling with interns.


THE POODLE'S PLAN TO STEAL THE ELECTION

The Democrats and the Kerry campaign believe that Al Gore made a mistake four years ago in not immediately claiming victory in the presidential election (despite the fact that he hadn't yet won it.)  The Poodle has decided that no matter what the election result is, they're going to claim victory, and even announce a national security team.  In other words, the Democrats are going to try and steal the election.  Again.

The Poodle's campaign also says it will have six 'SWAT teams' of lawyers ready to go to any state to contest the outcome.  They don't intend to respect any result.  By what voting margin will they concede defeat?  5 points?  10 points?  Are they going to follow their playbook they gave to the race warlords and claim voter intimidation?  Will they invoke the 2000 Bush v. Gore decision about Equal Protection under the law?

If the election is decided and over with on November 2nd, it will be a miracle.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Everybody talks about "getting out the vote," but as Mona Charen explains, if you don't know what the issues are, then not only should you not vote, but you have an obligation to refrain from voting.

Laura Bush is taking the high road over Tereezza Heinz-Kerry's "real job" comment.  That's what you call class.

Dick Cheney is mocking The Poodle's "October Disguise."  What about the rest of the year's disguise?

The Pentagon is considering lifting the ban on women in combat.  Will the equal rights for equal pay crowd like this one?  Only if it's a liberal's idea.

Many Democrats are already resigning themselves to a John Kerry defeat...and looking to the Hildabeast's candidacy in 2008.

Terrorism has a silent partner....no, it's not Al-Qaeda....Joshua Muravchik says it's the United Nations.

The Poodle's Keeper's statement about Laura Bush was a triple gaffe...something rare, but Teresa Heinz Kerry pulled it off.  Hugh Hewitt has more.

The left's scaremongering about the voting system fails to take into account the voter's responsibility.  People should check their ballots and put out a little effort to get it right, says George Will.

You're going to be hearing a lot about polls in the next 10 days....but Michael Barone says that while The Poodle may have won the three debates, it didn't translate into a lead in the polls.

Why didn't President Bush listen to all of the chicken littles who warned how bad things would turn in Iraq?  Because they were wrong, that's why.  Max Boot explains.

The mainstream media is buying into the myth that Republicans are suppressing voters.  Their masters at the DNC must be pleased.  The Media Research Center has a report.

John Kerry is doing his best to hide who he really is, because as David Limbaugh says, he knows he has no chance of winning the election otherwise.

The Poodle says he has a plan to win the peace in Iraq....but Charles Krauthammer says it's a false plan, and he has no chance of bringing any additional allies to the table.

The Democrats love to talk about "disenfranchised voters."  Jonah Goldberg explains that this is a myth, and that no one is being disenfranchised at all.

The Poodle and his campaign have been howling about Bush's tax cuts for the rich.  Thomas Sowell talks about just who "the rich" are, and what the tax cuts accomplished.

Need any more proof that there is actually a liberal media bias?  Paul Greenberg has it; look no further than the mainstream media.
