If you're a Nielsen family, be sure to watch it, and invite all your neighbors to watch it with you. Others may also want to watch Dennis Miller tonight, where I hear he'll have a surprise guest.... Glenn Reynolds 2004-08-06T19:05:35-05:00 http://instapundit.com/archives/017055.php YEAH, I guess this would do it. Heh....

Glenn Reynolds 2004-08-06T16:20:12-05:00 http://instapundit.com/archives/017053.php BILL HOBBS rounds up some items on newspaper websites and registration. I'll add another point: the registration schemes suck. The Insta-Wife got interviewed today by someone from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, who bragged that the paper had over 300,000 registered users. "Yeah," I responded. "I'm five or six of them." That's... Glenn Reynolds 2004-08-06T16:16:34-05:00 http://instapundit.com/archives/017052.php STUART BUCK looks at Judge Charles Pickering's first desegregation opinion.... Glenn Reynolds 2004-08-06T16:07:18-05:00 http://instapundit.com/archives/017041.php TOM MAGUIRE IS PARSING SWIFTBOAT STORIES and (with help from Spinsanity) looking at Kerry's military service in general. Yeah, I agree with Lileks that Vietnam is old news. But I'm not the one who made it a centerpiece of this campaign. UPDATE: More here! ANOTHER UPDATE: Polipundit says he's changed... Glenn Reynolds 2004-08-06T15:30:45-05:00 http://instapundit.com/archives/017051.php JOHN FUND: If anyone needed evidence that the explosive growth of so-called 527 independent expenditure groups is a blight on our politics, it's obvious in the form of the controversial new ad attacking John Kerry's Vietnam War service. . . . If good government types really want to clean up... Glenn Reynolds 2004-08-06T14:28:56-05:00 http://instapundit.com/archives/017050.php EARLIER, I noted a story saying that one of the Swift Boat Veterans against Kerry had recanted his story. But now he's saying that he stands by his story, and that the earlier report misquoted him. UPDATE: More on this story and the background of Kerry's service here. Lots of... Glenn Reynolds 2004-08-06T14:18:41-05:00 http://instapundit.com/archives/017048.php THIS IS INTERESTING: In a Cali Today poll, 90 percent of Vietnamese Americans said they would vote for Bush, and only 10 percent said they would vote for Kerry. Vietnamese living in Vietnam, on the other hand, favored Kerry over Bush. (Via SOTW).... Glenn Reynolds 2004-08-06T14:15:52-05:00 http://instapundit.com/archives/017049.php DOES VIETNAM MATTER? Some perspective: Vietnam doesn't matter. Vietnam was almost 40 years ago. Some will argue that if what the Swiftboat Vets say is true, then that reflects poorly on Kerry's character. Personally, I can't hold something from that long ago when he was a young man in difficult...
