"We predict that Kerry will win New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. The momentum will carry itself west, giving him the battleground states of Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.

"In an informal poll of 100 academics, conducted by The Economist, Mr Bush's policies win low marks. More than 70% of the 56 professors who responded to our survey rate Mr Bush's first-term economic policies as bad or very bad. Fewer than 20% give positive marks to Mr Bush's second-term economic agenda, and almost six out of ten disapproved. Mr Kerry hardly got rave reviews either, but his economic plan still fared better than the president's did."

"The grave's a fine and private place,

But none, I think, do there embrace."

When Pixies Come Flying Out of My Ass Dept.:

I've converted. Kerry sucks. He's obviously a traitor, a coward, a liar, and in league with Satan. So I have seen the light. Let's give good ol' boy George another four years! You can start here, at GeorgeWBush.org.

Yet more evidence that supports the view that America was in fact founded by a bunch of horny, cranky old guys who today would be called Secular-Humanist Liberal Radicals--you know, infidels--by the likes of George W. Bush, John Ashcroft, Bill O'Reilly, Osama bin Laden and Jerry Fallwell. "Fighting Words For A Secular America: Ashcroft And Friends VS.
