Tuesday, August 24, 2004 It's been a bad year Compare the number of US casualties month-to-month between 2003 and 2004. Notice that with the exception of March -- the month the invasion started -- each month in 2004 is deadlier than the year before. Horrible.

ANNCR: "When it comes to issues that affect our families, are John Kerry's priorities the same as yours? Kerry voted against parental notification for teenage abortions. Kerry even voted to allow schools to hand out the morning after pill without parents' knowledge. He voted to take control away from parents by taking away their right to know. John Kerry has his priorities. The question is, are they yours?" Is it just me, or are Bush's ads looking more and more like ads for a city council race?

Take note, and remember this! Mark these words I got a similar email recently saying that helping to elect John Kerry was "sercuring the destruction" (sic) of the nation. Is it just me, or do these people have a particularly poor opinion of America? Because I personally think we're a hell of a lot stronger than they seem to think. No one believes more strongly than I do that President Bush is as destructive a leader as we'll ever see, and even I don't think he's capable of destroying America. I guess they're just not as patriotic as I am. Love it or leave it!
