Falling Short, Standing Tall

The New Math: Make a Wish

Still not convinced that the Bush budget is a bunch of crap? Read the article above. Then take a look at today's article from Nicholas Kristof in the Times. The Bush budget and fiscal policy are more than a load of lies. They're a threat to America as we know it.

Fortunately, a contender is rising from the messy fray of the Democratic Party to take Bush to town in November. There will be a few weeks yet of bickering among the candidates, but no rookie general or baby-faced trial lawyer is going to derail the increasingly presidential-looking John F. Kerry. Dean may as well be Void in Vermont as well as the rest of the country. Now that we have an answer to the race's biggest question--when will Joe Lieberman admit defeat?--the great drama of the race is wondering who will drop out next and who will try hardest to knock Kerry down. Also worth wondering: Will the running mate come from within the race or will it be someone like Bill Richardson of New Mexico? Don't be surprised if Edwards, who has nowhere else to go, sounds exceedingly gracious when he finally drops out and endorses Kerry. Nothing can keep him in the limelight like being the running mate.

John F. Kerry vs. George W. Bush. It could be the most important election in decades.
