Why does Johnny think the Euros and tinpots will respect him any more than Bush?

He must be too busy talking to listen to what they have to say.

Powderfinger - Kerry probably knows better, but he's hoping the voters don't.

F&C hits the nail right on the head!!! That is exactly what I feel JFingK will do if he is elected! It'll be the end of the USA as we know and Love it!

Another good cartoon today...

Episode Two of Taxman and Tortboy

Kerry: "Did I say "Global" test? I didn't mean global in the "global" sense of being global. I meant global in the sense of being locally global. In the sense of being uniformly global. Don't twist here. It's absurd to imply that when I said global I was talking about internationally global. I've been very consistent about this - very consistent."

Bush derangement syndrome at its most bizarre!

Take a look at this...

nonic: that is priceless. Do you have a link to any of the other episodes of tortboy and taxman?

I must live on a different planet. How can ANYONE think that a UN seal of approval conveys a certain magical legitimacy? I just can't get my head around it.

Bush did well when he questioned the "global test" last night, asking how much "global" would be enough. He should have pressed the point by asking "10, 15, 20 UN resolutions? Maybe we should ask other countries to define the threshold for us?"

Kerry is ridiculous.

UK Tabloid Tits 'n' Arse Rag takes on a new Hijabed columnist !

6, we need to find Tonto. There's a scalpin' that needs to be be done.

On a side note, I finally caught registration!! Finally a place I can come to try to maintain my sanity until after we tell Kerry to KISS IT on Nov 2nd.

I'm pretty sure Bush will still win this. Otherwise, with appeasers in power on both sides of the Atlantic, we would be in big trouble.

Great cartoon !!!
It nails the main point of the debate.

OT but still very funny

"The Israelis stole my land and my country, now they are even stealing our recipes," Palestinian delegate Mohammed Kebal complained to reporters. "The hand of [the Israeli intelligence agency] Mossad is at work here. We will never take part in the contest again."

Spicy politics boil over at couscous fest

perfect...kerry mother may I?

OMG why do people dumb enough to tattoo themselves get to vote.

I was a little disappointed that Bush did not make a more substantive, forceful defence of the decision to remove Saddam. I was hoping he would be ready for Kerry's lame excuses for not taking action -- more imaginary allies, more meaningless inspections, more meaningless diplomacy. This is at the heart of Kerry's argument and Bush should have been ready to go after it.

To bad for Kerry the global test is practical application and not an oral report.

global test? John, here's a few phrases for you: Peace in Our Time. League of Nations. Manchuria. Oh, here's one: Sudetenland. Consensus is the absence of leadership and the abrogation of what is right.

No. I just look at the NYT and WaPo cartoons every Friday. This showed up today.

Actually, we're already witnessing a global test with the UN in the Sudan. First, they have to figure out what the meaning of genocide is.

Here's a must-read debate post from Matthew Hoy:

This from the same people who asked to define "is".

More threats via Al Jazeera today.

I think I’m loosing it. I feel like Gullam arguing with myself over the precious.
I have no doubt that the Dems would love nothing better than the economy being in tank for the elections…regardless of what that means to the American citizens.
I sincerely believe that those running the DNC and many of our elected Democratic Congressmen delight when things are going to hell in Iraq……….and I, like Gullam, sit here arguing with myself that there are those in the DNC and in Congress (not just the idiots posting at Kos) who would actually all but invite another terror attack on this country before Nov 2nd so they can shout it is all Bush’s fault…..telling myself, no, not possible for any American to feel that way……ashamed of the thought….and then angry because I can’t convince myself that it is not true.
With a month to go until we vote, not being so foolish as to believe we will not be attacked again sometime in the future and possibly before October comes to an end, I may find out which part of me wins the argument………but I pray I never know.

Am I the only one here who has these kinds of thoughts and see some of the members of the Democratic party as so power hungry that nothing……….absolutely nothing matters to them but winning or is it time for my husband to call the men with the white coats to come get me?

Cox & Forkum are brilliant. In a sane world they would have been syndicated a long time ago.

And just how cool is this?

Lizards infiltrate Saddam's Palace!

Ayn Rand at Saddam's Palace

Here I am placing the books sent by Robert Begley of the NY Heroes Society on the bookshelf at the palace. I also have added books by Edward Cline, Cox and Forkum, Andrew Bernstein and the Arabic translation of the U.S. Constitution sent to me by Steve Saaf.

The part about the translation of our Constitution is inspiring:

The biggest need we have here is information of the right sort. When I put the U.S. Constitution (in Arabic) in the hands of the Iraqi citizen who had asked me about it previously, tears filled his eyes. He shook my hand and held onto it for a long time with his head down and then looked at me and said thank you. This is the man who two weeks ago was warned not to continue working with the Americans. The man whose wife is 5 months pregnant. He is one of the people here, desperate to learn and to influence the process of political development.

Of course the only thing you'll ever hear the MSM say about Iraq is: "Another US soldier was killed today, bring the total to ..."

Just over at Blogs for Bush, Margolis has linked to a Daily Kos piece about how Kerry lost on substance.

Here's the link.

After the Oil-for-Food scandal, the Sex-For-Food scandal, "Zionism is Racism" and the swell way in which the United Nothingness didn't handle Bosnia, Kosovo, Somolia, etc., and isn't handling Dafur now---come on, people, joke's over!

Stop taking this kleptocracy seriously! US out of the UN! UN out of the US!

OT---Here's an article that terrifies me! A story from the San Diego Union Tribue about how the emergency response plans for a San Diego school were found in the hands of an Iraqi, with terrorist ties! Go read it at Jihad Watch, and marvel at the way the authorities attempt to soft-pedal the whole, ghastly thing! Their reason for not dissemating this story more broadly? They didn't want people to "panic"!

I'd laugh, but this ain't funny! I wish society at large would quit living in Fantasy Land 9/10.01!

Speaking of the Global test, today is the grandfather of U.S. globalism's birthday...Happy Birthday Dhimmi Carter!

# 29 The Other Les

I forgot to repeat the meme:

Kerry fragged himself.

17:

the worst thing about the tattoo linked to in comment number six, is that the person with it is almost certainly a woman...if you look at the base of the neck the other tattoo reads Cutie Pie...

#29

paraphrasing "Kerry wants to kill the terrorists but Bush just wants to bring them to justice" ?

THAT'S A SCREAM!

Reality check, please.

#5 Atlas

That was sKerryingly realistic. Have you been sniffing the orange paint too?

great stuff! (the cartoon and your post)

The UN is proving to be quite the tool of the Islamists. As is Kerry. One thing the world needs to face is the reality that oil is the essential nutritional element of economic stability and growth. The islamists ability to wage war is greatly aided by the location of the majority of known oil reserves. It is critical to Americas future survival to secure the resource which is of primary importance to our economy. An American presence in the middle east and Iraq specifically, is key to Americas future.

# 34 Flying Tigress

Reality check, please.

Dollars or Francs Euros?

#32, along those lines, I just had to add this for Kerry on Nov. 3rd:

Humiliation

Dems and LLL please start a Gobal Test video game on your web page so we can see how it works.

If its really good maybe we will risk playing it for real..also publish Kerry's top score..

/ps no click fest game.. make it so anyone over 14 can play.

That's terrific. Thanks. Boy, he really gets on Rather's case. (Clicked through the archive a little.)

Hmmm...linkie goes to Kos, but not to any content.

Sumthin musta happened to it.

Darn...I thought that "qt 3.14" meant I could get one of those cool tatts at Quick Trip for $3.14...

I still don't want to believe that we have people brainless enough wanting to relinquish our sovereignty to the United Nations.

Would such a person be an enemy of the Constitution??

Speaking of paint - that natural tan washed right off, didn't it?

Dave Ray,

The joke is on the tatoo'd. Twenty years down the road the moron will be wondering "what was I thinking?"

Bill Hobbes has linked to a Cleveland Plain-Dealer story about a dead man registering to vote.

So what else is new?

Given what I'm reading lately I wouldn't be surprised if I'm told at the polling place on election day that I've already voted with an absentee ballot.

Nor would I be surprised if that so-called vote was for the straight Despocratic ticket.

I would certainly be pissed-off, but not surprised.

Phillip Robertson, correspondent with Salon.com, talking to Wolf from Baghdad giving the most pessimistic assessment of Samarra and Najaf. Says that though we won that battle, we lost the political victory, even though the locals in Najaf wanted al-Sadre's people out of there. There's no pleasing this guy. Salon.com--what can you expect.

#50 Foreign Devil

These guys are trying to pull off another Tet Offensive story, I think. We won that one too, but the spin the media put on it turned it into a defeat.

# 42 Powderfinger

I used the open in new window function on by browser and still got it.

The link, again.

Here's what I find really scary about Kerry's "consult our [read: France and Germany] allies first" stance.

France and Germany both have very large and very restive Muslim populations that have to be bought off in order to make these nations governable.

And now we have to consult France and Germany on national security matters?

F*ing please.

Thanks, the other les. Firefox wouldn't open it for some reason.

Think globally.
Act loco.

Kerry:

"As I understand it, we're building some 14 military bases there now, and some people say they've got a rather permanent concept to them."
(Some people? Not even MSM...who John?)

Good. As our newest ally, I see no reason not to have a
new footprint in Iraq. Makes more sense than Germany.Over time, we'll squelch the terror.
I understand the US embassy in Iraq is the largest anywhere. I think history will long remember what President Bush launched. It is such a paradigm shift in policy that future presidents will be measured on how well they build on it, not undermine it.

Sadly, Kerry's myopic vision of history only extends to Nov. 2. His hindsight is also suspect.

Yup. And will fail miserably.

Saigon didn't have any bloggers. Baghdad does. :-)

What's the "qt 3.14"?
Looks to me like a scientific description of his chromosomal translocation.

bush said he would not let the us be under the icj, but kerry did not say he agreed with that.

#57 Geepers

Indeed! Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. . .

Bush gave the Kerroids absolutely nothing they can use against him last night. Kerry, on the other hand, handed the Bush campaign a whole basket of rotten egg statements. Better duck, senator. Your own words are coming home to get you. (again)
JWM

I would have liked to see Bush make spitballs out of Kerry's Global Test paper, but it would have been against the rules.

Wonder what Kerry kept scribbling with great French flourish & swirly motions with his Mont Blanc pen on his Global Test notes while Bush spoke.

alegrias (#65),

Well, if you use "Kerry's plan" in Iraq as a guide, it looks like he was copying off Bush.

(((Fritzie)))

Power to the ^PajamaPeople!

"But if and when you do it, Jim, you have to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons."

If the POTUS is going to put troops in harm's way, don't we at the very least have the right to "understand fully why [he's] doing what [he's] doing"? If so, then the "global test" is much ado about nothing.

If this "priveledged liar" gets elected, we're F***ed.

Of all the remarkable young men I know* who are now serving, they have said to a man, if Kerry is COC, they're out when their term is up.

* Including 2 Lt.s in the Rangers, and one of only 2 in all of ROTC to make Lt in the SEALS and his brother, a surface warfare officer.

-- If we get a "Global Test" COC, expect to see mass atrition in the NCO and officer ranks, not easily or cost effectively replaced.

Three cheers to Cox & Forkum for their excellent political cartoon.

I wish the whole electorate could see it.

Thanks, Charles, for bringing it to our attention.
