Panic!
AP:
President Bush leads Democrat John Kerry, 52 percent to 41 percent, while independent Ralph Nader got 3 percent in a national poll taken during the Republican National Convention that ended Thursday.The Time magazine poll of 926 likely voters was taken Aug. 31-Sept 2, during the convention and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Bush had 46 percent, Kerry had 44 percent and Nader 5 percent in a Time poll taken just before the convention.
I thought the press told us there would be no bounce from the convention...
Clinton Needs Heart Surgery
Bill Clinton is scheduled to have heart surgery sometime in the next few days. I wish the former president all the best in recovery.
On an ironic note, this story has been the lead on the cable news networks since it broke. Pushed to the background are Hurricane Frances, the Russian terrorist situation, not to mention nothhing about the campaign. The return of Clinton! He refuses to go away!
Oh My
John Kerry just became unhinged tonight in his response to Bush. He revived the legend that was once Howard Dean, accusing the President of everything from misleading us into war to allowing Saudi Arabia to control the oil prices. Oh yeah, in case you were wondering, no one who has not served in Vietnam can question his voting record, either. I see absolutely nothing positive that Kerry gained by his outburst tonight.
In a word: petty. A petty speech given by a pathetic excuse for a Senator.

Bush's Speech
All in all: not bad. I have certainly seen him give better, more passionate speeches, and he seemed rather subdued here, especially the first part of the speech. The second half was clearly more visionary, and since it dealt with freedom and the War on Terror, one would expect just that.
MORE
Steven calls it "an excellent speech." Well, the second half was certainly better than the first.
Professor Bainbridge says it was "[c]learly the best speech I've heard Bush give. Ever. Probably the best speech I've heard a Republican presidential candidate give since Reagan's prime."
Jay Reding says Bush just won the election. I would not go that far, but I am me...
Oh yeah, it appears the Republicans had just as much trouble as the Democrats in getting the balloons to drop. The balloon industry has clearly taken a hit this election year.
Game? What Game?
Yes, there was a game tonight. The Yankees beat the Indians 5-3. I really do not care right now, but I would have loved it if someone was ejected for pitching a spitball, just so I could make a gratuitous John Kerry military reference.

Zell and Dick
First up was Zell Miller. To summarize it in one word: wow. Who knew that the speech with the most "red meat" thrown to the party failthful would be offered up by a Democrat? Miller was animated and firey, and as a Republican, he sure as hell fired me up. The best passage was:
Listing all the weapon systems that Senator Kerry tried his best to shut down sounds like an auctioneer selling off our national security but Americans need to know the facts.The B-1 bomber, that Senator Kerry opposed, dropped 40 percent of the bombs in the first six months of Operation Enduring Freedom.
The B-2 bomber, that Senator Kerry opposed, delivered air strikes against the Taliban in Afghanistan and Hussein's command post in Iraq.
The F-14A Tomcats, that Senator Kerry opposed, shot down Khadifi's Libyan MIGs over the Gulf of Sidra. The modernized F-14D, that Senator Kerry opposed, delivered missile strikes against Tora Bora.
The Apache helicopter, that Senator Kerry opposed, took out those Republican Guard tanks in Kuwait in the Gulf War. The F-15 Eagles, that Senator Kerry opposed, flew cover over our Nation's Capital and this very city after 9/11.
I could go on and on and on: against the Patriot Missile that shot down Saddam Hussein's scud missiles over Israel; against the Aegis air-defense cruiser; against the Strategic Defense Initiative; against the Trident missile; against, against, against.
This is the man who wants to be the Commander in Chief of our U.S. Armed Forces?
U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?
Was it an angry speech? Some people may get that impression, but if your party nominated a man like John Kerry, you'd be pretty pissed off too.
Next up was Cheney: Cheney was not as animated as Zell, but his style is just as effective. Like Zell, Cheney rips into John Kerry's voting record, and with another takedown of the "two Americas" theme:
Senator Kerry says he sees two Americas. It makes the whole thing mutual — America sees two John Kerrys.
And that quote, my friends, is the perfect definition of John Kerry. Tonight's theme could have been "Defining Kerry," and Miller and Cheney defined Kerry to perfection. What is there to argue? John Kerry never mentioned his Senate record in his convention speech, so us Republicans are more than happy to do it for him.
As for the post convention, I watched CNN and some Kerry spokesman on. All that he could muster after this attack? Halliburton. That's it. The response to Kerry's Senate record is officially "Halliburton." If that is all that they can come up with, they are in deeper trouble than even I think they are.

New York Girlie Men
Well, there were Girlie Men in New York tonight, and they all wore pinstripes! The Indians came into town, went to Yankee stadium, and terminated those Girlie Men in pinstripes 22-0! Omar Vizquel did his best Terminator impression by going 6 for 7, tying the American League record for most hits in a nine-inning game.
And tomorrow, they'll be back!

Arnold Rules!
Simply put: great speech. I don't think there is any question that if it were not for the Constitution prohibiting it, Arnold could make a very serious run at the presidency someday. A few more thoughts:
1. I liked the "True Lies" line at the beginning.
2. It would not have been a complete speech without at least one reference to the "girlie men" on the other side.
3. If the Democrats attack the speech, it will be the line where Arnold says he became a Republican after hearing Richard Nixon. But he will get a pass because he is Arnold. And everybody loves Raymond Arnold.
As for the Bush twins, well, simply put, that did not go nearly as well. No, I take it back. It was bad. Really bad. So bad I turned it off and began surfing the web. hence missing Mrs. Bush's speech.
First Night Thoughts
My quick thoughts on the first night of the Republican convention:
McCain was OK, but aside from his smackdown of Michael Moore, I cannot really remember anything memorable he said. Rudy rocked. Yeah, he went on for an hour or so, but it was all worth it. He hit Kerry hard, and his retort to Edwards' "two Americas" was classic.
I also noted the not-so-subtle warnings to the Jewish community on Kerry's lack of conviction whan it comes to Israel. John Kerry opposed Israel's security fence before he was for it was great, and even more powerful was slamming Yasser Arafat's Nobel "Peace" Prize. All that was needed was a photo of Clinton shaking the hand of this terrorist at the White House as a reminder of how a democrat would deal with the Israel/Palestine issue.
And though I missed Ron Silver (hey, I am on vacation), I did catch Jason Sehorn and Angie Harmon on stage, and while Sehorn's football career isn't in any danger because of his support for Bush, one does wonder what the next projects will be for Ron and Angie - if any.
Overall, a good start to the convention. Bush will be just fine, and this convention will be much better than the yawner in Boston. Tomorrow Arnold speaks. If I could wish for one thing from Arnold, it would be for him to use the "girlie men" line. Just. one. time.

Indians Blogging Continues
Yet, despite the fact I am away enjoying myself, I will continue to blog the Indians' season. Why? Well, I have blogged about every game thusfar, so I figure why not blog the entire season, which I am sure no one else has done this year for the Tribe. So consider it a novelty. Yesterday, the Tribe lost to the White Sox 5-3, as the continue their current slide and show why most people have given up on them.

A Rare Win
The Indians beat the White Sox 6-3 for only their second win in twelve games. C.C Sabathia tied a career high by striking out eleven in six innings of work. So, 32 games let in the season the the Tribe is seven games out of first place in the A.L. Central, and 10 1/2 games out of the wildcard. Are the playoffs possible? Well, anything is possible, I suppose, but realistically it ain't happening this year, unless the Indians do something obscene like go 27-5 in their final 32 games.

Rediculous
I was watching the ESPN show Pardon the Interruption this afternoon and it was suggested that the people rooting against the "Dream Team" were not just anti-American, they were racist as well. And amazingly there was not too much disagreement on this premise.
So there you have it. You people rooting against a bunch of rich, pampered, whiney millionaires used to getting everything their way makes you an unabashed racist. Damn you all to hell.
Enough Already!
Gymnastics officials asked Paul Hamm to give up his gold medal as the ultimate show of sportsmanship, but the U.S. Olympic Committee told them to take responsibility for their own mistakes.In a dispute over scores that has turned into a political squabble, the head of the International Gymnastics Federation suggested in a letter to Hamm that giving the all-around gold medal to South Korea's Yang Tae-young "would be recognized as the ultimate demonstration of fair play by the whole world."
The ultimate demonstration of fair play my ass. USOC secretary general is absolutely right when he says this request is "a blatant and inappropriate attempt on the part of (FIG) to once again shift responsibility for its own mistakes and instead pressure Mr. Hamm into resolving what has become an embarrassing situation for your federation."
It would appear that Paul Hamm, through absolutely no fault of his own, has overtaken George Bush as the most hated American in the world.
Baseball In DC
Proponents of bringing Major League Baseball to Virginia have backed away from plans for a 450-acre ballpark development in Loudoun County and are instead pushing a dramatically scaled-back version of their Diamond Lake project on a fraction of the land and without the proposed lake.The move represents a retreat from the expansive plan presented to baseball officials in May, which called for relocating the Montreal Expos to Northern Virginia as part of a large, baseball-themed "new town" intended to generate business, reduce stadium construction costs and bring cachet to a sports complex sandwiched between Dulles International Airport and an industrial zone.
Gabe Paul Jr., executive director of the Virginia Baseball Stadium Authority -- which would be responsible for financing and building the stadium -- had given baseball officials assurances that "most of the land parcels comprising this stunning 450-acre site" was controlled by project developers.
But yesterday, Paul bowed to the reality that the developer, Diamond Lake Associates, had not been able to reach agreement with the owner of the site's biggest chunk of land, Chantilly Crushed Stone, which controls more than 220 acres, including the quarry pit that was to be filled to create the development's lakefront ambiance.
Although the Virginia Baseball Stadium Authority denies it, there now seems to be serious questions about the final plans for this stadium, especially with infrastructure and transportation improvements, which the group says will be finished, yet did not elaborate on the topic. And with D.C. officials expressing strong reservations (correctly, in my view) about taxpayer money being used to finance a park in downtown D.C., baseball may again take a pass on placing a baseball team in the D.C. metro area.
Polling Roundup
James has a roundup of all the various polls, which have the race tied or Bush pulling ahead slightly the eve before the Republican National Convention. There are also state polls showing Bush pulling ahead slightly in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Missouri. Also of note is a poll showing veterans having a very strong preference for Bush over Kerry. I guess that last poll is what Kerry gets for coming back from Vietnam and implying his fellow "band of brothers" were really nothing but a bunch of war criminals.
Mr. Squirrel Goes AWOL
Mr. Squirrel went AWOL from last night's game, and apparently he took the Indians' pitching staff with him, as the White Sox get 14 runs off 16 hits in a 14-9 win over the Tribe. Tribe starter didn't even make it out of the first inning, and the relievers fared no better.
Just playing out the season. Playing out the season...

Rally Around the Squirrel
Meet the Tribe's new hero, Mr. Squirrel:
With the Indians on a nine-game losing streak and chances of the playoffs seemingly out of reach, there was feelings of sorrow from Indians fans in the stands. Even some players were resigned to continuing the tradition of losing. But then came Mr. Squirrel. He would have nothing to do with such talk. Mr. Squirrel grabbed a peanut and headed out towards the outfield, giving signs of hope to Coco Crisp in the top half of innings, and taunting the likes of Gary Sheffield with his bushy tail in the bottom halves. Yes, stadium workers and security tried to shoo Mr. Squirrel away, but he remained stubborn. When chased from left field, Mr. Squirrel would simply run to centerfield and stake his claim to even more territory. At one point when Derek Jeter was at the plate, Mr. Squirrel defiantly moved into the infield, as if to tell Derek Jeter and the damn Yankees "go home - you have no chance in this park tonight!" And the crowd agreed, cheering their new hero as if they were slaves being led by Sparticus in a revolt for freedom against that Evil Empire known as the New York Yankees.
And it worked. Led by Mr. Squirrel, the Tribe beat the Yankees 4-3. And tonight, Mr. Squirrel gets a chance top taunt a new opponent, the Chicago White Sox.

Speaking of Ads
As long as Kerry is whining about an ad attacking his Vietnam record and demanding an apology from President Bush for an ad Bush did not even produce, has John Kerry ever apologized for his supporters releasing this Bush=Hitler ad?
Anyone? Anyone?
Political Stunt Failed
Well, looks like Kerry sending Max Cleland to send a message to President Bush has failed:
Former Democratic Sen. Max Cleland tried to deliver a letter protesting ads challenging John Kerry's Vietnam service to President Bush at his Texas ranch Wednesday, but neither a Secret Service official nor a state trooper would take it."The question is where is George Bush's honor, the question is where is his shame to attack a fellow veteran who has distinguished himself in combat?" Cleland asked. "Regardless of the political combat involved, it's disgraceful."
Never mind the fact that Bush has never attacked Kerry's military service. Not like, say, this guy at a John Kerry rally:
But, alas, it is not the total story. Bush wanted to relay a letter to Kerry, and sent someone who Kerry calls a war criminal Vietnam Veteran Jerry Patterson to accept Cleland's letter and pass Bush's along. What occured allowed for a priceless quote from Patterson:
A Texas state official and Vietnam veteran, Jerry Patterson, said someone from the Bush campaign contacted him Wednesday morning and asked him if he would travel to the ranch, welcome Cleland to Texas and accept the former senator's letter to Bush."I tried to accept that letter and he would not give it to me," said Patterson. "He would not face me. He kept rolling away from me. He's quite mobile."
Heh. So give a failed mission report back to Camp Kerry.
New Olympic Event!
The Russians have a new sport - white water rafting using rubber women as rafts:
The second Bubble Baba Challenge (in Russian, baba stands for “woman,” only unlike the other word for woman, zhenschina, conveys not a shred of respect) was held on the Vuoksa river that runs in northwestern Russia a year after the first contest. Dmitry Bulawinov, the mastermind and organizer behind the unusual sporting event, says the idea of floating down the river in the embraces of a rubber woman was conceived as a joke at a party where the men got drunk and the women didn’t show up. While considering the possible uses for a rubber woman on a camping trip, someone voiced the thought that a sex doll would make a handy flotation device.
Yeah, this does sound like a concept that could only be conceived by a gang of drunk lonely men, doesn't it? Women participate too, but unfortunately for them no male blow-up dolls are offered; and unfortunately for everyone involved it is likely the Russian mob could shut the event down for lack of "rent" payment. Sigh.
Here is a picture of the race! Oh my:
UPDATE: Added to the Beltway Traffic Jam.
Nine in a Row
The Indians lost their ninth straight game, falling 5-4 to the Damn Yankees. On August 14, the Tribe was a season-best eight games over .500 and a game out of first place. Now they are below .500 again and have fallen below .500 and are looking at moving into third place. This is far from the biggest collapse in baseball history, but for the Indians it is pretty damn close.

Keep the Gold, Paul
For 10 solid minutes, the crowd booed and whistled. Paul Hamm sat around and waited to start his routine.A week's worth of controversy in gymnastics boiled over into the crowd Monday night during a bizarre, extraordinary evening in which Hamm won a silver medal on high bar and four-time Olympic gold medalist Alexei Nemov finished fifth, much to the crowd's chagrin.
Fine. If that is the way they treat you, Paul, I say keep the gold medal and f*ck what the people think. Don't give it up, don't go for any "dual gold" crap. Keep the gold. You earned it. It was not your fault the judges messed up, just as it wasn't Bush's fault Palm Beach County voters could not read a damn ballot in 2000. Even if you give up the gold, the fans will still hate you. So forget them.
P.S. - the fact you won the silver (actually, tied for first but got second on a tiebreaker) after the way you were treated speaks volumes about your competitiveness.
UPDATE: OK, I watched the competition later in the evening, and it was clear to me that the crowd's boos were aimed at the officials, who did give a rather low score (even after the adjustment) to the Russian. I do not think the boos were directed at Hamm, he was just in the unfortunate situation of having to go next in line after the Russian. But my original opinion still holds: Paul Hamm won the gold medal and should not give it back like some idiots think.
Damn My Personality
For those of you who know me, you know I am typically a reserved person, who is usually soft spoken and rather shy around people I do not know (unless I get a few drinks in me, eh Boone? - hee hee).
Well, tonight my conservative nature may come back to haunt me for a long time to come. There I was in the supermarket waiting in the checkout line and one of the most striking brunettes came in line behind me. I would guess in her early twenties, who cares knows? I wanted to talk to her, but I could not "pul the trigger" as it were. Ugh! Now, she could have had a boyfriend, but alas, I won't find out now. Damn my shyness! Damn it to hell!
What Tax Break?
Mark Warner decided to give us Virginians (Virginians who pay income taxes, that is) a tax break:
Gov. Mark R. Warner (D) said today that he would use money from the state's budget surplus to accelerate a tax break for all Virginia families that pay state income taxes.Addressing a joint meeting of the General Assembly's powerful committees responsible for crafting the state budget, Warner said that the commonwealth's $324 million surplus -- which is fueled by higher- than-expected tax collections during the latter part of the fiscal year -- allowed him to begin the break Jan. 1, 2005, instead of a year later.
This move is expected to cost the state $28 million. A small pittance to be sure, taking into account that taxes and fees were raised by $1.4 billion this past legislative session. He might have gained points with me if he said he was slashing the staight-from-hell car tax, though.

John Kerry's Words
Quote John Kerry:
We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the "greater glory of the United States." We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars-in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. We will not take solace from the creation of monuments or the naming of parks after a select few of the thousands of dead Americans and Vietnamese. We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim.
No, no. John Kerry never did that. Or, I should say he never did that until he thought it would benefit him politically to do such things he used to hold in such contempt. Does this mean Kerry will not visit the Vietnam Veteran's memorial anymore? Just asking.
The above quote, by the way, came from the epilogue of John Kerry's anti-war book The New Soldier, which is available in pdf format at Slings and Arrows here.
Sore Loser
Someone does not take losing very well:
Russia's Svetlana Khorkina, who was second to American Carly Patterson in the women's all-round gymnastics competition, has accused the judges of robbing her of the gold medal and said "everything was decided in advance.""I'm just furious," Khorkina, who had been favourite for the coveted title, was quoted as saying in the daily Izvestia. "I knew well in advance, even before I stepped on the stage for my first event, that I was going to lose."
"Everything was decided in advance. I had no illusions about this when the judges gave me 9.462 for the vault after conferring with one another at length.
"I practically did everything right, still they just set me up and fleeced me," she said in the interview published on Saturday.
Spare me. She sounds like those Moveon.org people who claim Bush stole the election. I am not impressed by either. Anyway, it continiues:
Khorkina did not think Patterson was a deserving winner.Asked if the American was a worthy opponent, she said: "I've seen a much tougher opposition than her. Let's see how long she can remain on top. Can she keep going and compete in two more Olympics like myself."
Boo hoo. Carly Patterson is only 16 years old, so she will likely make it to the 2008 olympics. That is if she feels like competing. After all, unlike a certain Russian bitch, Carly already has her gold medal and has nothing else to prove.
Boehner Beats McDermott
CNN:
A federal judge has sided with Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, in his six-year-old lawsuit against Rep. James McDermott, D-Washington, over an illegally recorded phone call.Boehner sued McDermott after a Florida couple, using a scanner, found and recorded a 1996 conference call in which Boehner, then-Speaker Newt Gingrich and other House leaders discussed strategy involving announcement of an ethics committee finding against Gingrich.
The couple gave the tape to McDermott, who was on the ethics committee at the time, and the contents ended up in news stories.
In his decision Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan ruled that McDermott "participated in an illegal transaction when he accepted the tape."
McDermott had admitted leaking the taped phone conversation to reporters. But he argued that he did not break the law by receiving the tape and that punishing him for making it public would violate his free-speech rights.
The judge, however, said McDermott had no First Amendment protection because he knew he was receiving a recording that had been illegally obtained.
For those of you who are not familiar with Congressman Jim McDermott, he is the best friend that Saddam Hussein has in Congress.
Bob Dole Questions Kerry
AP:
Former Republican Sen. Bob Dole suggested Sunday that John Kerry apologize for past testimony before Congress about alleged atrocities during the Vietnam War and joined critics of the Democratic presidential candidate who say he received an early exit from combat for "superficial wounds."Dole also called on Kerry to release all the records of his service in Vietnam.
I continue to be astounded why John Kerry will not release all his service records. If he makes his four months in Vietnam the centerpiece of his campaign, certainly we are entitled to get look at these records. Anyway, the story has this tidbit too:
Dole told CNN's "Late Edition" that he warned Kerry months ago about going "too far" and that the Democrat may have himself to blame for the current situation, in which polls show him losing support among veterans.
Well, Senator, John Kerry did not take your message and is running as a Lieutenant rather than a sitting Senator. And is it really shocking that veterans are not supporting a man who says they are nothing but war criminals? And just wait till the Swift Boat vets come out with the commercials with Kerry and Hanoi Jane! Now that will be a nice picture to paint to veterans everywhere!

The Indians, in perhaps the biggest series of the year for them to stay in the playoff chase, got swept by the Twins, losing today 7-3. It has been an absolutely embarrassing week for Cleveland, as they have now lost seven in a row.

Now, rather than thinking about the playoffs, these guys have to think about staying above .500.

A hearty congratulations go out to my friend Suzanne, who finished a "super sprint" triathlon today in a little over an hour. For you who do not know, a "super sprint" consists of a 400 yard swim, a 7 mile bike ride, and a 1.6 mile run. All of that is about 400 more yards of swimming, 7 miles more of bike riding, and 1.59 more miles of running that I could do. Heh.
Movie Review
Well, not exactly a review, rather some comments on Garden State, which I saw tonight. This is the first "indy" film I have seen in a theater that I can recall, and I was looking forward to it because I have become a big fan of Zach Braff from his work on Scrubs.
I won't give anything away with any spoilers, but I will say that this flick was average at best. There were some funny scenes (the comedy is not like the comedy in Scrubs) and some sad dramatic moments, but I just never got into this movie like I have for others. It also ended rather abruptly, like they edited out a scene or two that would have made it better. Overall, if I had to see this movie again, I would rent it, but I do not think I would see it in a theater again unless I had a pass.
Cleveland Wins!
No, not the baseball team, who could not beat a little league team at the moment. Today they fell to the Twins 8-1, falling further and further behind. No, the Cleveland team that won was the Browns! Yes, the Browns won a meaningless. Preseason. Game. Sigh.
