But Don't Take My Word For It
James Lileks on John Kerry:

I'm waiting for a Kerry speech in which he seems angrier about 9/11 than he does about tax cuts.
I'm waiting for an ad that simply puts the matter plainly: who do you think Al Qaeda wants to win the election? Who do you think will make Syria relax? Who do you think Hezbollah worries about more? Who would Iran want to deal with when it comes to its nuclear program - Cowboy Bush or "Send in the bribed French inspectors" Kerry? Which candidate would our enemies prefer?

I guess that's why I'll have to choke down my vomit over all the ridiculous spending and vote for Bush anyway.

Kerry is Muskie, Dukakis and Al Gore all wrapped up into one easy to defeat, botox-injected package.

The LP's pacifist foreign policy plank is a little out of touch. My libertarianism stops at the border. Legal heroin and hookers for me, high explosive and hot lead for the terrorists.

I just read the "ridiculous spending" link. Now, I'm not oppossed to government spending, and I truly believe that there is value in arts funding. However, you don't get to do both. You can't cut taxes and increase spending. Doing so leads to budget defecits, and that leads to higher...wait a second, haven't we been here before?

Yes, but Reagan was spending money to win a cold war. Bush is spending money on farm subsidies and government art - in the middle of a hot war!
