The poll just posted at the top of Drudge could be dead wrong. Consider the source!
UPDATE: I guess when things are breaking your way, they’re breaking your way.

… or it could mean that Bush’s lead is really, like, 20 points or so, given the poll’s past history!
The Kiss of Death!
dYou know what they say aobut a stopped clock.
I;ve been a Red Sox fan my whole life so I know a little bit about jinxes, bad luck, and premature triumphalism but still opine that this is no fluke. The Iowa Electronic Market is confirming the beginning of the end of the Kerry Campaign and the market is always right, no?
As Rick Ballard has pointed out many times, it’s the direction the numbers move, not the numbers it self that’s important. If true, every state that the Dems counted on must be in play. Unreal.Thankyou Dan Rather, Courage.
I’m sure that this is a very accurate poll …
of the few people still watching CBS News that is.
I am sure it is accurateÖ even if itís fake.
From the CNN article Roger cites:
Could this be the original source of those lines from an old Firesign Theatre piece:
(Voice of pilot):
Oh, I’m high all right. But not on false drugs… I’m high on the real thing: Powerful gasoline, a clean windshield, and a shoe shine!”
(I’m quoting from a highly fallible memory.)

I just hope Pres. Bush remembers to thank Dan and CBS in his inaugural address in January.
Julie -
If there is any justice in the world, they’ll be watching his speech through the window of the electronics store on their “Warsh your windishield for a quarter, mister?” street corner.
On FOX, of course.
“I’m quoting from a highly fallible memory.”
So that’s where I left it. Say, could you mail it back?
Deeper and deeper.
Somewhat O/T but not really:
Roger, you and your readers might be interested in my recent posts about my father, WWII, and Vietnam. Dad was a great guy (my totally objective opinion!) and I think you would have liked him. You might also wish to visit this post
Pacific Driftwood
for poetry written my soldiers in the Pacific war.
Jamie-
If you are quoting The Firesign Theatre in 2004 we won’t need a typewritten memo from 1974 to know the cause of your “fallible memory”.
I, too, suffer from long-term loss of short-term memory…ah, misspent youth!
Dang, that second link is nearly comical. Is this a case of taking the hopelessly burnt toast (RatherSlathered) and stabbing the heck out of it with a fork?
Oh, yeah, in NJ we call this “Baddabing! Upside yoo head witta pipe!” Good Night, Dan and Burkett, Robin, John, and Terry, wherever you are.
OK, I only thought I was quitting for the night. Since we have some Firesign Theater fans here, anybody remember the game show where they tossed gifts off the top of a skyscraper to the contestants below? Does Kerry remind anyone of the guy who “caught” the piano?
Why do I get a feeling that Bush sucker-bet his opponent for the Nth time?
Man, Rove really is one mean sumanovitch, isn’t he. I just clicked through the night’s replay of O’Reilly and he’s hammering on the Oil-for-food UN scam. Poor Kofi… poor, poor Kofi.
Roger:
Notice at the end of the CNN story on the latest good news for Bush they had to trash him by bringing up that paragon of journalism Kitty Kelly’s slander about cocaine use by Bush. Weren’t these the very same “high standard” scribes who wouldn’t write about the swifties charges against Kerry because the could not be trusted. They don’t trust 265 decorated Vietnam Vets but they trust Kitty Kelly? But of course the MSM is playing this years election straight up.
P.S.- Since Fake but Accurate is the new coin of the realm maybe you could list your next novel under Fiction- Non-Fiction.
Ah, Rathergate, the gift that keeps on giving.
Roger ó The heck with that. If fake but accurate is the way to go, you should apply for a few Visa cards and SBA loans as Moses Wine…
It is not a surprise how the same news elicits different headlines this recent google shows.
“Bush’s Father Wrote to General About Guard Service”
“Bush’s commander, dad wrote each other”
“Officer wrote letter to Bush’s father”
“Guard commander lauded Bush”
“Commander’s Letter Praised Bush to Father”
Now,match the headline with the source.
Answers, in order:
–Reuters
–MSNBC
–MLive.com
–New York Times (Wow!)
–Dallas Morning News
–CBS
(Opps, sorry: Nothing in from CBS yet)
Lawd-a-mercy…Firesign Theatre…the two bright, hale & hearty sportscasters covering women’s gymnastics at the Olympics…it was so new in the 70s is what made iot so funny…they started out fine for awhile but helplessly drifted inexorably into utter salaciousness, always in the broadcast voice. “My goodness, Jim, check the blank on that one!” “Oh, you like that, huh, Sue? What about the blank on thelittle brunette from blankety blank!” “Oh, Jim, I like that one, too!”
Isn’t it great that we’re not going into a weekend with all channels clogged with guest dysfunction specialists being sooo sympathetic to the Bush family, what with the CBS missed physical proving the NBC Kitty cocaine Kelly addiction, all to that catchy new tune Fortunate Son from the DNC? Gotta hand it to Kerry, he was a good organizer in ’71, and he still is! Not that good on details, though.
DennisthePeasant ó Don’t crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers!
Check out allahpundit.
Burkett allegedly spoke to Cleland by cell phone.
He walks the streets by night ….
More sugarcoating!
“…relentlessly, ruthlessly… (‘I wonder where Ruth is’)…”
It’s catching:
“What kind of a fool do you take me for?”
“First class.”
