Does Kerry have the legs?

Tuesday, January 27th, 2004

I’ve been reading a lot about the “need” for a Dem candidate to be competitive in the South. Perhaps someone can explain why, with the electoral college,it makes any difference. No Dem is going to take Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, etc. So why should we care if the Dem is competitive there? Wouldn’t the candidate be better off trying to win all the states Gore won in 2000 (including Florida)? Just a thought.

What in the world are these?

I’m still trying to figure out what the President was describing when he mentioned in the SOTU “weapons of mass destruction related program activities.” And were these WMDRPA worth the cost in lives and dollars put into an invasion of Iraq to put a stop to them? It’s hard to tell. The WMD we were assured were in Iraq are AWOL just like the year that the President didn’t spend in the Air National Guard.

Good site

I was following links from one liberal blog to another and I chanced upon this one:

The blog subtitle is “Progressive Politics, Indian Issues, and Autism Advocacy ”

I followed a link to a petition asking Disney to once more give special needs passes to autistic children. The passes allow the child to cut to the front of the line. The author says there is no way his 5 year old autistic child could ever wait in lines. I believe him. There are also some good links to autism related sites.

Time for the plunge

First of all, thanks to Dolphknob (you know who you are) for setting up my blog. I really appreciate it. I haven’t figured out how to configure zempt yet. I am not certain what info goes in what box at the config screen. I may call you if the second attempt locks up my box like the first one.

I’m not sure what I’m going to post here. Probably whatever strikes my fancy. If readers don’t like it they can pmmfmffmmfmp mfmppf fmmppfppmmppfppmfpmpppffmpp mpppmffmmmpp ppmppfpffmpp fmmfmfmfffmpmppmpm fmpppf fmpmfpmppmffpff pmfmffpmpmffpppmfm.

I’m a liberal political junkie so I’ll put up things I like in that vein. I also have
