It's a funny thing, politics. Not "funny ha ha" and not really "funny queer," unless by "queer" you mean "strange," in which case politics is indeed a "funny queer" kind of thing.
It's especially funny queer when the incumbent president visits a state he lost in the previous election to pitch for votes on the platform which his previous opponent pitched.
Where do they train people for political campaigns? I'm guessing The Bunny Ranch.
Kerry and other (overt) liberals have criticised President Bush for failure to adopt a "national broadband policy," a chillingly Socialistic-sounding idea. But the very notion of such a policy presupposes that Americans somehow have a right to broadband, or for that matter even an essential need of same. And true to form, despite the economic infeasibility, the questionable wisdom of pushing for national anything policies in light of other such examples (Social Security, Amtrak, War on Terror/Drugs/Poverty/Illiteracy/Kiddie Porn/etc.) and even the moral deficiency which is a prerequisite to a Socialist bent, Bush has fallen hook, line and sinker for it, and now makes an unfulliable (and ridiculously vague) commitment to make broadband available to all Americans by 2007.
Anybody care to start a pool on whether or not this happens in the event that W. is re-elected?
