This is amazing. Let’s say you want to go and see VP Cheney speak. I don’t know why, but let’s say you do. Well, you have to endorse Bush to get in to see him. I mean it, you have to endorse Bush in order to be allowed to see your vice-president speak.

Of thee I sing, baby…

Michael Reagan has criticized his brother Ron’s speech in Boston. This was to be expected, he is a conservative.

What’s bizarre, though, is the Smothers Brothers like note of sibling rivalry he strikes. “Mom always liked you best!”

Prediction: 15 years from now, they’ll be taking an act on the road, though probably without the guitar and bass. Hey, if G. Gordon Liddy and Timothy Leary can do lecture tours together (which they did, in the ’80s)…

Ok, you guys remember the Berger thing? If you don’t, he was the former Clinton official and Kerry advisior who was accused of impromperly removing documents needed by the 9/11 commission. This was believed by Rep. Davis to be more worthy of investigation than the possible White House leaking of Valerie Plame’s identity as an undercover CIA operative. And the nearly 100 allegations of prison abuse at Abu Ghraib, which Rush Limbaugh said was better than what Berger had allegedly done.

Well, Berger has been “cleared of all wrongdoing…nothing in the Clinton administration’s record was withheld from the 9-11 Commission,” according to that well-known mouthpiece of the liberal media, The Wall Street Journal.

How quickly do you think we can expect apologies?

‘Fahrenheit 9/11′ has been shown on prime time TV in Cuba, where it is also a hit in the cinemas. Fidel Castro has drawn laughs in speeches by reading aloud from Michael Moore books.

No, I can’t see any way that can be used against John Kerry at all…

…that in some ways the Obama speech read even better than it played? Well, then there’s this guy.

For the first time in my life, I find myself glad that most Americans get their news from TV. Now if only it wasn’t FOX.

Well, if this works I should be back from the future. Cartoon Brew has posted a link to an audio interview former San Francisco radio personality Alex Bennett did with cartoon voice man Billy West. West was Stimpy of Ren and Stimpy, Fry, Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan and the Professor of Futurama, and many more.

The Brew was tipped off by some clever guy whose name escapes me just now.
