Enough, part 2

By -
I apologize to Robert Downey, Jr. for my comments last July. I saw the movie Iron Man recently, and the reviews are dead-on...Mr. Downey was phenomenal and the movie overall is a must see.

I also take back what I said about seeing Lindsay Lohan on screen again after her conduct unbecoming during 2006 and 2007 (and which may have spilled over into 2008 but I've stopped keeping track.) What I did not see coming was this. Only in America.

Comments

When you said "Robert Downey Jr." I assumed you were about to comment on his apparent turn to conservatism:

“I have a really interesting political point of view, and it’s not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can’t. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics every since.”

Predictions (Part II)

By -
Unfortunately, I believe the vote count to be much closer than my friend Stephen does. My predictions: Bush electoral votes: 270 Kerry electoral votes: 268 Switching to Red: Hawaii, Iowa, New Mexico Switching to Blue: New Hampshire, Ohio Popular vote: Bush 50.1, Kerry 48.5 Senate: GOP picks up 2. House: GOP nets 5. Should Colorado split its vote, Lt. Kerry reports for duty (with Bush still winning the popular vote). I suppose the only consolation for such a circumstance would be the deafening silence on the topic of reforming the electoral college.

Hanson on the "nuisance"

By -
VDH takes on Kerry's "nuisance" comment and the liberal mindset on the war on terror. A devastating critique. He believes Bush will win because most Americans no longer buy what the Democrats are selling: ...the Democratic party is run not by unionists, farmers, miners, truckers, and average folk, but by those rich enough not to have to make a living, and who wish out of either guilt or noblesse oblige to force the dumber upper middle class to be more sensitive, generous, or utopian. Americans also believe Europe has lost its way and is bogged down in a hopeless and soon-to-be scary task of legislating by fiat heaven on earth. Great stuff. As usual. Read the whole thing.

A universal test

By -
Oh, come now, Mr. Kerry. As if it's not bad enough that the entire world must sign off on U.S. foreign policy, the Massachusetts senator offered this interesting explanation of his "global test" remark from Thursday's debate: "They're misleading Americans about what I said. What I said in the sentence preceding that was, 'I will never cede America's security to any institution or any other country.' No one gets a veto over our security. No one. "And if they were honest enough to give America the full quote, which America heard, they would know that I'm never going to allow America's security to be outsourced. That's the job of the president. "But I can do a better job of protecting America's security because the test that I was talking about was a test of legitimacy, not just in the globe, but elsewhere . Well that clears it up. Unfortunately for Mr. Kerry, the Vulcans are far too logical to sign on to his pla...
