A Little Something I Read In Newsweek
From the areticle entitled: "The Vets Attack" :


Second paragraph:

"In August, when the Swift Boat vets scheduled a press conference at the National Press Club, the Kerry campaign dispatched Gen. Wesley Clark to hold a counter-press conference. At the last minute the Swifties canceled."



I don't know about you, but it seems like Wes scared those fu*k'n liars away. Well, it's something anyway.

1. I'm working my way through the current issue of "Newsweek"
just as you are.

And the more I read, the angrier I get.

Lack of organization, conflicting opinions, and no one to make a firm decision.

What the hell was going on INSIDE when we were working so diligently OUTSIDE?

3. I ripped the cover off and threw it away.
And then I took a black, felt-tipped pen and marked through every photo of his ugly face on the inside pages. And Rove's, too.

Childish? Maybe, but it felt good.

5. Me too. I couldn't stand the cover so I ripped off the front page.
I was going to post a thread and ask how many other people ripped theirs off.

LOL or cry.

10. Don't need to look at the cover to know who it is. Now HIDE YOUR EYES!

9. I ripped off the cover as soon as it arrived...
though I did briefly consider making a dartboard.
