Hey, Jeff -- you live in the Queen City? (The REAL Queen City, not the poseur up in Ohio.) Or did you just happen to be in Charlotte when you datelined your piece?
|9.20.04 @ 11:49AM|#
Sam I Was,
Aren't about twenty US cities named 'The Queen City?'
|9.20.04 @ 11:52AM|#
Jason,
Probably. But there are only two that are big enough to matter on this particular front...

Who were those Democrats getting a rumble going a few months ago to dump Kerry?
They are looking so smart!
Datelined the really real Queen City (Sinincincinnati).

Jason Bourne,
Your last movie sucked.

JDM,
It did well at the box office however; and of course I loved it. :) Yes, that's me knocking at your door.
Ready for The Bourne Ultimatum?

"...without any cutting issue with which separate himself from Bush." How about the Armageddon issue? Seems like that would be a compeling issue amoung Democrats, Libertarians and Greens. That bunch has no chance of being Raptured-up.
|9.20.04 @ 12:30PM|#
I can imagine Kerry has his fingers crossed the Rapture happens before the election so he would win by default.

Ruthless, Best post by anyone in days. See, Kids? That's how it's done.

(90s era tax rates) + (lower tax rates for the middle class) = "class war"
'K, dude.

If the Fundamentalists really are guaranteed slots in heaven, then I hope they're also right about us Catholics going to hell. I'd rather not spend eternity around the Fundamentalists.
Or maybe we're ALL going to hell: A place of bounty and bliss with only one simple rule--We must share it with people we can't stand.
Aaaarrrrggggghhhh!!!!!!

"If the Fundamentalists really are guaranteed slots in heaven, then I hope they're also right about us Catholics going to hell. I'd rather not spend eternity around the Fundamentalists."
Were I God, here's how I would run things:
One afterlife. Perfect, but kinda uptight place, Fundamentalists love it. No sex, alcohol, gambling, none of the stuff that makes for fun. So its fundamentalist heaven and hell for everyone else. I could lay off Satan and all the lesser demons. With all the money I'd save having only one afterlife, I'd give everyone a hefty refund on their church donations. An economic stimulus package as compensation to the eternally damned, 'cause God believes in supply-side economics, 'kay?
Just finished reading Joseph Heller's Closing Time. Hell is a sleazy underground amusement park. Not bad, IMO.

The "problem" with Kerry's campaign is entirely the fault of the media. He's not scattershot; he's attempting to confront every fucked-up thing Bush has done in the last four years. There are lots of them, in many different arenas. Basically, everything Bush has touched has turned to shit. But reporters can only focus on one thing at a time. So they accuse Kerry of running a scattershot campaign, when really, he's got no choice but to skip from one subject to another, because his opponent is wrong on every single one of them. No matter what the question is, Bush has the wrong answer.
|9.20.04 @ 4:01PM|#
No matter what the question is, Bush has the wrong answer.
Amen!!!!
However, Kerry is doing his darnedest to prove that there's more than one wrong answer to most questions ;->

thoreau,
At my family reunion recently there were mostly fundamentalists, a few Catholics and an atheist. It came off without a hitch.
Maybe the solution for peaceful coexistence in heaven is plenty of fried chicken and gravy.

Psuedo:
Have you read Job: A Comedy of Justice by Heinlein? You seem to have a similar idea about the afterlife.
Kerry went positively Deanish in his Monday speechifying. One might be tempted to believe that he never voted for the pro-war resolution. He's almost Fonzie-like in his inability to say "I was wr...wr....wrrrrrr....oooo..nnnn...ggg."
